I'm more concerned about the next answer:<br>

<blockquote type="cite"><b>Question:<br>

Garfield:<br>
There's nothing about what the Pirate Bay does or what
the Pirate Party does that is legitimate. There's nothing
philosophically principled about it. They steal copyright content and
accept advertising dollars based on taking other people's work. There's
nothing noble about it.</blockquote>

He mixes what we are doing (politics) and what the pirate bay does
(filesharing with money involved). I'm sure he does this intentionally
and that pisses me off. By denying us to stand up for better laws, he
actually questions freedom of speech and democracy in general.<br>

Question:
The Pirate Party in Sweden has plans to spread the anticopyright
movement all over the world. Does it worry you that that some people
see the issue of copyright as an attempt by Hollywood to suppress
information and are painting piracy as a crusade?
Garfield:
It is a concern. Part of our challenge is to view the Pirate Party,
and those who support it, as a market competitor. We have to make sure
that we, as an industry, are as attuned to the marketplace as they
are. We have to be steadfast to respond to market wishes. We also
shouldn't close our eyes to it, and we will be responsive to it.
