Eräitä huomioita

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.
