This sounds suspiciously like RIAA/MPAA propaganda, and I do not believe it. Copyright protection for audio, video, and audio/video recordings should just be completely eliminated. I do not see why my taxes should be wasted supporting the broken business model of a dying industry. The "media industry" should be pushed off a cliff - we're all better off without them. “Sales of music through the Internet and mobile phones in Sweden have increased by an unprecedented 100 percent in the few days since the new Swedish anti-file sharing law went into effect.” This sounds suspiciously like RIAA/MPAA propaganda, and I do not believe it.
