I'm talking about how the law was in the 80's - it can have been changed.

Well, I doubt Carl Bildt would even see this message, but I thought it was
rather irrelevant. And as my newspaper stated yesterday the opposition
leader is Alf Svensson since Bildt doesn't care for internal politics. He
sort of got used to international politics after his work in Bosnia.
Also isn't it still the socialdemocrates that are in opposition, but are
running the country at the same time?

Critize M$ would probably not get any problems, they aren't a person.
But, because M$ would be just such a company that would look for this kind
of things, critizing Billy would be a dangerous thing.
In Sweden we often take the EU laws and make the worst out of them, but we
are the country that follows the laws best. This can be both good and bad.
But noone has been convicted yet for posting someone elses name on the Net.
