Exactly. The best way to obliterate a young adult from the society forever is to slash him with fines that he just can't and won't pay. There are several cases like this in Finland, namely few kids who ran a p2p sharing hub (without sharing any of the files, just running the server, AFAIK).
This means the young adult won't ever go to work because nearly everything he would ever make would be deducted to pay off the fines he can never finish up. Thus he will simply not pay the fine, become unemployed, and make the country pay him social security to live. Any work he will actually do will be gray, i.e. unofficial untaxed "pirate" income that doesn't formally exist. Way to go.
The TPB guys probably have more ambitious plans as the liberation front of bit-sharing. I bet this might just tip an even larger percentage of Swedish people to support TPB and the Pirate Party. Isn't the only thing that is, in the crowds of conservative government or business, more dangerous than a liberty fighter an imprisoned liberty fighter?

Oh please. A bunch of guys who want to download music and videos for free aren't 'liberty fighters'. You can disagree with copyright, or current implementations of copyright, or whatever, but calling activists of marginal issues like this 'liberty fighters' is devaluating the concept of a true 'liberty fighter', much like 'terrorism' has been devaluated to mean pretty much everything that pisses somebody else off.
Perhaps he means liberty in the sense of freedom from being America's lapdog. One might be considered a "liberty fighter" for wanting to be held accountable by their own country's morals and mores, and not at the insistence of another country. The method "free music and videos", might be irrelevant to that perspective.
