So, let’s see if I’ve understood this correctly: if it’s a tv show the former Danish minister of culture likes, then it’s serious business and an outrage and something to be brought up in parliament when he can’t get his fix straight from the source, unimpeded by geolocking and annoying things like creators’ rights.

But when it’s a tv show someone else likes, it’s just too bad and we best be good little consumers and wait patiently for someone to potentially, at some point in the next 5-10 years if we’re very lucky, acquire the rights to show it on some random tv channel in DK, because you wouldn’t download a car, now would you?

I wonder if Bertel can spell hypocrite...

But you have to understand that this is different. Like anything else that goes when it's a member of Folketinget doing it. Pensions, Lars L's wardrobe, what have we...

Yeah. Still, it feels - this one series that's a surprise hit, and instead of doing what everybody else has to do when nobody can be bothered to get the show-at-the-same-time rights of the show they like, suddenly it's a political thing?

And honestly - I'm positive DR will be sending his beloved Skam very soon.

(Can we just copy the Swiss laws regarding downloading stuff? Please?)
