    It exists in Sweden. We are allowed to make private copies of movies, music and whatever. If I want to rip a CD and give it to my family and friends that is 100% legal. But it’s not legal to sell the copies.

      Didn’t realize the DMCA applied in Sweden.

        Many European countries (and companies there in) listen to and respect DMCA takedown requests and my point is that it does not apply to individuals. So yes, it applies in Sweden too. Maybe after Trump is done destroying the diplomatic relationships with Europe we can finally start not giving a shit about DMCA.

          We’re not talking about takedown requests, we’re talking about bypassing DRM.

            Fair enough. We have the EUCD here and as I mentioned we cooperate with America to uphold copyright. I don’t know exactly what is EU law and US law but they seem pretty similar. Ether way, our personal rights here reign supreme. Doesn’t matter if it’s copy protected.
