A recent survey reveals that nearly half of Norwegians under age 30 have no qualms about streaming or downloading movies, music, or TV shows from unofficial sources....
High costs cited as the main reason for piracy acceptance
Piracy is an act of robbery or criminal violence by ship or boat-borne attackers upon another ship or a coastal area, typically with the goal of stealing cargo and other valuable goods.
What nearly half of Young Norwegians are fine with is not piracy. It is unlicensed consumption of copyrighted media. There is a difference, and we should stop blurring the lines.
Exactly. Young Norwegians are okay with raiding, not pirating. When you go a-viking, you expect battle and riches, but not from within your homeland but on distant, foreign shores. Sometimes the best loot is to be found in the Christian temples in England, and doubtless it’s them that these youths are okay with stealing from. I know I (as an American with some Norwegian ancestry) am.
Surelly as the descendants of the Vikings it’s not completelly senseless to think they might be fine with boarding ships on the high seas to take their stuff and with a little plundering of ill-defended costal villages!???

I don’t know, ship-borne attackers that plunder and steal… sounds very Norwegian really. Maybe they’re just getting back to their roots.
Don’t forget the killing.
And the raping.
Well. That turned dark quickly.
