You seem to be holding a double standard here, troll. Care to give us any proof that open source isn't working? or that closed source is apparently so much better that we can't have both?
I think the word here is bildungsroman, which is a kind of another word for "coming of age story" I've never heard of this word anyway I just found it on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bildungsroman
How about Netflix and Hulu? Or Spotify? Or Youtube, or MegaUpload, or Louis C.K. thing, or Amazon(I mention Amazon because it's an alternative for many college students wishing to buy textbooks cheaper and not pirate them), or Pandora, or turntable.fm?
I could go on... but I must note the one thing holding many of these new models back is crazy legislation that makes no sense from Hollywood and the MPAA/RIAA
I think the AC is confusing pirating with something that actually causes harm... Just to clarify when we talk about pirates on techdirt, we're are talking about people how copy information through illegal means (illegal does not always equate to amoral). We do not mean pirates as in those who pillage, plunder, rape and kill.
I'm glad I could help clarify your misunderstanding :3
Your right, I expect that Sweeden will have much less pirates considering how much less strict their copyright laws are. This is all conjecture of course.
