Today the Spanish Parliment decided to make P2P a civil offense, the law – get that – also applies to legitimate sharing of content even if the copyright allows you to share it via P2P.

Basically, this law makes no sense whatsoever. However, followed by their recent blank media tax, it makes perfect sense. The Spanish parliment simply fell under the pressure from the copyright holders, that frankly have no valid reasoning really against P2P as their content would be illegally redistributed anyway. This is the law that most annoyed me since ASBOs.

No, don’t ban Spanish products. What good would that do? However, I wouldn’t even mind organizing demonstrations and of course participate in them (either on the condition that they’re not violent, what would be the point of that?)

I urge you to start demonstrations yourself. We can’t just stay quiet like that.

And hopefully we’ll manage to see all forms of art, broadcast and expression liberated from copyrights in our lifetime.
