torrentfreak.com — At a preview of his new ‘Change Congress’ project, the Stanford professor took a swipe at the Pirate Party of the United States. Whilst expressing skepticism about it’s utility, his main criticism seemed to be the name.

Commenting that the name of the party may reinforce Hollywood's false notion of ?honest business fighting illegitimate thieves? is hardly taking a swipe. He's just suggesting that the public would associate themselves with a more appropriately named party.

Might need to polish off that imagination and give you reading lessons there, matey.

The Pirate Bay is not the Pirate Party... neither in Sweden nor in the United States. Don't know if there's actually a connection. But let's look at one thing, real quick-like: ninjas and pirates were both considered outlaws at one point, and both were actually condoned by (and worked for) government. It was the privateers who gave pirates a bad name, historically-speaking.

If you can think of one, I'd love to hear it. Names like "the innovation party" aren't innovative, and don't attract people who are under the gun for using the Internet for its intended purpose: to copy. It's one thing to blatantly say it's okay to break the law, and quite another to advocate for its reform to a more reasonable middle.

I always get a good laugh when people say we're going to vote against something. Poor silly naive people thinking that their vote will count in some way.<a class="user" href="http://www.paramegsoft.com/sitemap/">http://www.paramegsoft.com/sitemap/</a><a class="user" href="http://game.paramegsoft.com/">http://game.paramegsoft.com/</a><a class="user" href="http://download.paramegsoft.com/">http://download.paramegsoft.com/</a>
