battleangel.org — The "Pirate Party" (Piratpartiet) aims to break the 4% barrier to enter parliament this autumn. At the very least they will stir a debate among friends and foes of immaterial law everywhere. Their program? Abolish immaterial law. Move away from WIPO and WTO. Support the free flow of information and stand up for people's privacy.

I was going to vote away the stupid socialists in Sweden but I may just change my mind if these guys succeed, even if I think removing the copyright is a bit harsh, I want to show the greedy music and movie industry that they don't make the rules, we do.+digg

"I think that, as reward for taking the time to learn how, we should be allowed to download whatever we want without fear of punishment."I agree:P

FantasticFlan, the American colonies were offered seats in Parliament by the British. The colonial leaders alligned with the terrorist Sons of Liberty organization rejected the offer. But of course, the winners write the history that the average joe remembers or avoids in the public educational system.
