Henrik Pontén To Become The New National Joke?

by Walter Naeslund on April 17, 2009

Henrik Pontén of Antipiratbyrån (The Anti Pirate Agency) is quoted saying the following in SvD:

“Naturally this [the verdict in the Pirate Bay trial] is a success for all rights owners and creatives…”

This quote makes me think of the one where Ines Uusman said (in 1996) that “the Internet is a fad that will blow over” – one of the most embarrassing quotes ever. And since Ines didn’t actually say that, Henrik is now a good candidate for the most embarrassing quote ever.

You’ve got it all backwards I believe. The big losers today are the creatives. And the innovators. And all of us who want to create a better and richer cultural future.

Anyway. Now, Henrik, that you have your sugar rush moment, why don’t you comment on this post and explain it to me?
