Anyhow, it’s odd that they’de choose to go with that name because calling themselves “the Pirate Party” is basically declaring their own illegitimacy and their intention to neglect the law.

The German Pirate Party (or Piratenpartei) is often overshadowed by the success and popularity of their Swedish brethren. Recently they were even removed and banned from a major German social networking site. They shouldn’t be discounted though, as t…

How is this even news-worthy?

"Actualmente la cuestión más importante en la política europea (y también en la nacional) son los derechos civiles. Estos incluyen tanto la lucha contra la censura en Internet como contra la transformación de las sociedades occidentales en es…

This shows that many people dont exactly vote for the party they feel represented by the best, but they tend to vote for _winners_. Why this is so I dont know, but because of it, it is crucial for anybody helping the election campaign to explain potential voters that a vote for the Piratenpartei in not “thrown away” in (the probable) case they dont enter the German parliament.

Every frigging vote helps. Every single one. It helps us get future funding, it motivates us more to keep investing our time, it helps the Piratenpartei to get noticed by mainstream media and by future voters we didnt reach this time. The bigger we get, the easier it will be for future voters to consider voting for us.

We really fight for every single vote and for every single election signature. Since this works only once every 4 years, if you have any friend or relative who otherwise never votes, get him to get out and vote for us or something. Help us to make now as big an impact as possible, because who knows how everything will look like 4 years down the road.

Hohoho, more laws that give free money to the music labels in addition to censorship laws.

If this keeps up, I think its time to pull out the guillotines. ;]

the home of the UK pirate party. Every party out there started small once.

But if they wanna get screwed over twice, the wrong way, it’s of course their choice.

Ya, you’r right, just found it on europal: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/factsheets/2_4_0_en.htm

It just seemed from the text at first glance that it was something more than that. Oh well…

Reply: u got that right, all my friends that support pirates are between 35 and 75 years of age

You need to get active and try to found your own party – the existing ones will happily give you as much help as they can.

How can one know more about this? How can one do this? I’m from Portugal and we still don’t have a full fledged pirate party and this sounds a good way to help.

Also, is this only true for Germany or for all Countries in the union?
