Right now I'm downloading some TV shows. 100% legal. Thanks Switzerland.

TV shows which never will air in English on our market I bet...

Switzerland is N°1 on the global competitivity report. Maybe innovation and sharing are more important than lawsuits and blacklisting ?
21
Noo, noo. Look at how effectively Apple is using lawsuits to be competitive in the international market. That's real capitalism.

Hey you. Stop. No reddit anti-Apple circlejerk on r/Switzerland. Seriously.

To the US embassy! Bring your halberds! The Great Satan may dissolve our banking secrecy laws but it will never take away our internet freedoms!

Whoa there, that's pretty dangerous! We don't want anybody to get hurt. Lets settle for guns instead.

I don't personally pirate because I don't have to, but a pretty good point at the end there. Most people will probably still spend the same, regardless of the availability of piracy or not. They just happen to spend the same amount, and get many more things for free. If they were forced to buy all the things they have for free, they probably wouldn't anyway, so there isn't really any lost sales. However I don't want to start that whole piracy debate again here, but I will say that America is really quite a control freak sometimes.

If you don't fight it, you're not in control. That seems to be the philosophy behind the American values... for some reason.

I just put the USA on my black list of countries with insufficient piracy.
EDIT: The point I'm trying to make is: Who cares about blacklists?

I am so glad I moved here (not just for the whole piracy thing though lol).
Seriously, the US has far greater problems than worrying about someone downloading a movie thousands of miles away.

Damn guys, we're doomed! Better disconnect our routers then.
