one fact regarding herbert rusche is imho even more important than being a founding father of the german green party.
herbert rusche personally played a quite important symbolic role in the history of civil rights in germany: in 1985 he was the first openly gay mp.

well, it’s not exactly like rosa parks joining the pirate party, but … ;-)

Nobody is joining the PVV. Geert Wilders is the sole member of his own party and has made sure that nobody else can get in

Standard communist tactic. Infiltrate all the small parties and take them over. Then it looks like a big consensus when lots of parties back the communist/greenist agenda.

“Nicole Hornung of the Pirate Party says he is pleased with gaining such a prominent new pirate”

Nicole is female, and i think that’s not only in Germany – that’s international ;)

LoL @ 23 (Mike)

Go read a bit b4 saying your nonsense. The majority of us just want decent prices and the freedom to choose what and when we will buy. Reminds me of a game I downloaded a while back, Indigo Prophecy was the name. The concept was great, the graphics were awesome BUT the ending was insanely crappy. I only buy those games that have a storyline if all the parts are AT LEAST decent. Now imagine if I had spent $50 on that garbage.

On the other hand, I downloaded that PS2 game, Disgaea, and although it doesn’t have the brightest ending it did entertain (and still does after some thousands lvl ups). I’m buying it next month – haven’t done so yet because I couldn’t find any shop (online or not) that would delivery in my region and had the title in their stocks. I’m also buying God of War I and II even though I already cleared II three times (this time the reason is the price has dropped to a level I consider fair). Now explain me where are the free games in this case? And please industry members out there, explain me how are you losing with my so called illegal download…

I was discussing the industry approach to file sharing with a teacher of mine after I found out 70% of what he buys is preceeded by the so called illegal downloads (and he’s a heavy consumer of music and movies, much more than I am). He concluded he’d buy much less if he didn’t file share (and save money lol). The numbers would be lower in my end because of financial restrictions (I’m currently unemployed), however I (and millions out there) follow the same path as my teacher.

Again, MAFIAA and merry friends should read this and review their behavior. There’s a huge market in their hands and they are… SUING the participants. It is plain idiocy…

well it is better then what happens in Holland. people who join the Geert Wilders party which basically wants to kick out all foreign people in Holland.

I am ashamed for that. I would 1000x times more like to vote for a pirate party.

Good job guys! all the power to ya! and in my opinion its better that they got someone from the greens because the greens aren’t as closed minded as any party that is in or could be in power.

@12
Since the European elections in June, membership in the party has raised from ~1200 to now 6700, roughly 80 new members joining every day, which will make us the biggest German party currently not represented in parliament by next week.
