I don't see the problem.

I download all my stuff for the PC for free (OS, programs, games) - except for those rare cases when I need the all so important CD key to be able to play a game online, only then I'll have to buy a retail copy.

 

So you say you pirate everything?  If so, you are contributing to the problem.

If you say you use all freeware, my mistake.  But the last part "when I need the all so important CD key" implies otherwise.

 

 Yeah kinda, lol. Pretty much everyone in Sweden pirate their PC games, with the exception of buying just to get hold of a legit CD key. You're basically being called an idiot here if you're paying for off-line PC games.

 

Don't worry, come April 2009, and all the swedish pirates like you will get screwed when the new anti-piracy law is in full effect.

 

Did the law pass already? Haven't heard anything new since the end of October. Also, the law stated that the copyright holder will need a probable cause for the warrant to get the ISPs to talk. Due to the archaic and often errenous evidence gathering over there on such things I doubt too many will manage to pull that off. The EU has been very back and forth about the whole piracy issue.
