The Swedish publishers of Kalle & Anka & Co, a comic featuring the Disney character Donald Duck, have expressed regret over an edition featuring the loveable children's character engaging in internet 'piracy'.

"We regret that we did not react to the fact that the Swedish political climate is so heated just at the moment," Marika Bark for publishers Egmont Kärnan, told news website DN.se.

The edition in question is entitled "Kalle Anka - en laddad affär" (Donald Duck - a loaded business) and features an enterprising Kalle's plan to burn a hundred copies of Åke Skrål's latest record and earn a quick buck.

Kalle gets the idea from his nephews - Knatte, Fnatte and Tjatte (Huey, Dewey and Louie) - who have downloaded their idol's record, but only to listen to it while they save up enough money to pay for an original.

ok so, why is the DD stories being related to reality?
arent they just fantazy?
maybe in the world of DD, copyright laws DOES NOT EXISTS
hmm i guess that would be a terrible idea to give kids
controlling minds are we?

besides i come to think that D.duck isnt really a kids cartoon its more like youth /adult with all that nonsence they put in there sometimes.

Toasty » Tue Jul 28, 2009 4:54 pm In other Donald Duck cartoons he's done everything from perjury to destroying the planet, and in this one he commits copyright infringement and that is poisoning the minds of our young ones. Really goes to show that money trumps freedom of speech, but people's lives don't. Its sad that the copy write cartel has even touched comic books.
