America vs. Sweden in the File-Sharing Debate RIAA ponders content filters while Sweden supports legal file-sharing Earlier this week we saw Cary Sherman of RIAA discussing the possibility of filtering content in your home through the use of anti-virus software. In defense of the opposition that surfaced around this issue, Sherman is now saying that he wasn’t actually proposing that this be done but was “simply musing” on an abstract concept that could theoretically be put into place. While the RIAA ponders the ways that it can get into your home and stop you from illegal file-sharing (or legal file-sharing for that matter), politicians in Sweden are pondering ways to make all file-sharing legal. This is exemplified by the recent actions of the Swedish Green Party which has long supported allowing file-sharing. They have recently made a new push in these efforts with the argument that file-sharing is not a form of theft and can actually be a key force in democracy today.
