Let’s talk after they start arresting studio execs for sending fraudulent DMCA takedowns.

Paramount, Sony, 20th Century Fox, Disney, Universal, Nordisk, and Warner Brothers are all part of this “Rights Alliance” group. Each of them have used, or plan to use, generative AI going forward - which, by design, is unable to abide by copyright since it is trained on whatever they can get their hands on.

This is yet more “one rule for them and one rule for everyone else” from leaches that are desperate to profit from the work of others and punish anyone who won’t pay into their state-enforced protection racket.

I hope Swedish government is not brain dead enough to harass its own citizens on behalf of corporate parasites.

Don’t hope too much. File sharing became illegal in Sweden after a push from corporations, and later, downloading as well

I guess we got a lot of education to do on topix of OpSec!

Paying your opressors is for bootlickers IMHO

Hopefully the government realizes that the loss of profit from piracy is usually zero, because the people downloading usually won’t even buy the game

Governments rarely realize anything related to IP that the copyright mafia doesn’t spoon-feed them, unfortunately.

I’ve always thought that was a more exclusive US government thing

Oh I wish it was. Eg. here in Finland sharing movies etc. among friends or downloading them off the internet used to be legal as long as you weren’t doing it for profit or distributing stuff to a huge audience, but that changed in 2006 because the new EU Copyright Directive required it, and that directive was hugely influenced by the likes of WIPO.
