Default What happens when a million filesharers come out of the closet?

What happens when a nation like Sweden decides to allow filesharing for its citizens? No more fear of police or copyright cartels harassing you because of filesharing. Freedom to share as much as you want, to download as much as you want, as fast as your broadband connection can deliver. And should somebody dare to harass you because of what you are doing, he would be committing a crime.

What happens when the fear factor is removed from filesharing? Well, for starters, the filesharers will come out of the closet.

In this case a million of them. Or perhaps two, because nobody really knows. People don’t advertise these things in public. But now that it will be legal and acceptable, they will of course advertise it. And they will be proud of it. That’s what coming out of the closet does to people.

And then they can start doing some amazing things together.

Like building the world’s finest Library of Culture. Do the Swedish filesharers have the resources for it? Yes, they have a million computers, hundreds of petabytes of storage and world class broadband network. Do they have the skills to do it? Yes, they are the most advanced filesharing nation on the planet in a well-educated high-tech country. Do they have the motivation to do it? Oh yes - actually they have been doing it already for a long time. They just had to keep all their treasures in that closet of fear. But now, coming out of the closet, they can bring their treasures out as well, and the Library of Culture can open.

It will be a little messy and disorganized in the beginning. But the collection will be breathtaking anyway from the first day on. And it won’t take long until it all gets better organized and sorted out, and complete high-quality discographies and filmographies will start to show up. Expert collections of rarities will be available. And all the new popular items will of course be available right after their release in any required quantity as high-speed torrents. Sounds like God meant online libraries to be?

When the Swedes will have their Culture Library running, the world cannot avoid hearing about it. There will be many foreigners curious to visit the place. And the Swedes won’t mind, they will welcome the foreign visitors. But for you as a foreigner there might be one slight problem. It might be that your government has made it a crime for you to visit such a library. They might even have forced you to use your local mall instead to satisfy all your cultural needs.

So if there is a legal problem in your country about visiting fine foreign libraries, think twice before you go and have a curious peek at the Swedish one. You just might be tempted to commit a crime.
