Hadopi needs to be familiar to the reader it seems.

Quite an opinion piece by Falkvinge. Hadopi is scheduled to be abolished, correct?

Not exactly. More like phased out slowly.

I'm not necessarily pro or anti sharing, but calling piracy "the good deed of sharing culture and knowledge" is a good way for me to never take you seriously.

"Piracy" is pretty anti-sharing language IMHO.

I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me how me not being allowed to make and distribute an unlimited number complete copies of, say, "Iron Man 3", somehow limits my fundamental right to freedom of expression.

How can I reason and speak about something I can't look at but for second hand testimony? Why should anyone limit his or herself to the second-hand testimony of people who could afford to look at the facts when the only obstacles are social? Why are facts, cultural or otherwise, even behind a gate? Why should I be a second-class human because I can't afford to license the means to think?

To put it differently: reduce, reuse, recycle. Once a work is made, why should anyone pay for it again beyond the cost of transcription? If investors can't cope with the product being the dividend, maybe the effort wasn't worth it...

(Of course, these are just my own thoughts.)

Wow, amongst other things, that makes a good case for giving law enforcement agencies direct access to our private information. You're right: why have "second hand testimony" if you can get it firsthand? After all, the NSA is only making copies of all our information, so we are not deprived of anything either.

Reiterating my previous comment: Information wants to be free, man! Except, you know, when it's my information, then it's just a breach of privacy.
