The Pirate Party

Posted in Copyright/left by Niklas Vainio on the January 3rd, 2006. Tags: , , , ,

According to Aftonbladet (in Swedish), Swedish filesharers are planning to form a party for the Swedish parliamentary elections in September 2006. The agenda of the Pirate Party is to:

  • abolition of all intellectual property rights
  • Sweden must secede from international IP treaties
  • abolition of laws that forbid or limit distribution of information
  • right to privacy must be defined in the constitution and be protected harder.

The party would concentrate on these issues only and stay outside the left/right division. The approximate number of filesharers in Sweden is one million, which is about 11 % of the population.

The party will use the traditional Jolly Roger as their symbol.

    One more reason to be envious of the swedes… Should we follow suit? Maybe by enlarging the topics to politics of knowledge, in general.
