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.
