It's About Time.

I think the video pretty much speaks for itself here.

The story, though - apparently, European politicians have beaten their American counterparts to the punch. Greens EFA and RåFILM collaborated to create the above advertisement promoting the new "I Wouldn't Steal" pro-filesharing campaign. They've already made their work available via bittorrent, and their website doesn't exactly beat around the bush when it comes to their beliefs on filesharing:
"We believe that consumers are willing to pay if offered good quality at a fair price. We also believe that sharing is expanding culture – not killing it."

They don't stop there, either. They go so far as to back up what so-called "pirates" - these villains of the internet - have been saying for years: that, contrary to what the MPAA and RIAA have been trying to convince consumers this entire time, "making a copy is fundamentally different from stealing."

Essentially, these are politicians - a cohesive, unified group of them with a total of 42 seats in the European parliament. They have spoken in support of consumer rights, net neutrality, and artists' rights, and they have made it quite clear that they stand opposed to the media industry's attempts to "adapt laws to criminalize sharing, turning consumers into criminals" and the "faulty propaganda" it churns out in the process.

Stay tuned.
