I have nothing against people with low IQ, if one has a mediocre IQ, say 90, which is quite low for many purposes actually, he/she might be a good leader or a brilliant businessman.
However, the lack of common sense, or basic 'wisdom' is absolutely infuriating: i.e. I bet that one can teach a chimp not to use electric devices while taking a bath. Well, i saw problems at tech support with people complaining that device X does not work after being dropped in . How stupid can that be? most manufacturers write that with caps on the instruction manual, even place symbols for it.
Of course, having a low IQ will not make you an acceptable geek, and you might often be disagreed with, at least from an analitical view.
For this reason i find that what Sweden's pro-piracy represents is nor rogueish, nor utopist. They seem to be the right people at the right time, and do have some bits of wisdom.
But this wisdom i speak about means also to keep a balance: you may be favour piracy and be against civil monitoring i.e. cameras and large corporate 'evil' databases, but how further will you go to enforce these things? Some are a necessity unfortunately, and in order to minimise the risk of having displeased people turn on a strike, or worse even, leave the country (or do any other damaging action from an economic POV)because of conflicting political views a certain balance must be respected.
Ix1, as a student, end-user with a low income rate, can be completely indifferent to the money hungry industry, whilst being employed Ix1Major might feel the contrary, as he feels that another Ix2 is steling his money.
This is a very sad true-neutral view from most people's part. I am not saying that every standard should be open and that no patents or so should exist, but if there wouldn't be so much hammering upon DRMs and whatever copyleft protections, perhaps word of mouth alone would promote quality.
This is however very utopian too, because if Mr. W relases a code\invention with no licensing, a random company may take his code\invention and make profit, whereas Mr. W didn't intend in the first place. A solid and uncorrupt justice system could solve problems like this, but we know there isn't any, so this is sort of a paradox.
In all, I expect to see further developements on the party's behalf. Best wishes, and be wise in your decisions.
