Cool news – seems like Swedish Television wants to do a real documentary about the copyfighters in Sweden! It looks like they actually got the funds to do it as well, and we’re working on a concept together with them.
Richard M. Stallman was in Gothenburg to talk about free software and todays copyright.
A very interesting talk, though he hasn’t thought everything through. For instance; the flat-rate system will not work, who wants to pay tax money for porn?
I had a quick talk with him afterwards – but he didn’t know about The Pirate Bay, PiratbyrÃ¥n or anything besides Piratpartiet. Can’t blame him, he’s a very busy person, it’s just weird that someone knows something about Piratpartiet and not the reason they could actually start.. and for someone thinking someone else is taking credit for what he did, it’s funny he actually gives all credit to Piratpartiet. 
My brother and Henrik joined me at the Stallman-show and then we ate some indian food and went to a place called Lövgärdet where I lived as a kid. How the brain can fool you! I didn’t recognise nearly anything – besides the place where I buried my bird, and the place of my first kiss with Karolina!
I got back home and Fredrik did something not smart. I don’t want to say stupid, because I could have done something similar as well, and I’m not stupid. Anyhow, after 40 hours of pure hacking, we got the site up running again, almost as good as new.
Some more interesting news – I talk to alot of people that are somehow connected to other interesting people – one of them told me that the police officer in charge of the case against The Pirate Bay actually has _nothing_ to give the District Attorney. Still he’s pressing charges. Is that democracy or demo-crazy?
