Pirate Parties on the Rise

The raid on the PirateBay, and the responses in Sweden to the case motivated a lot of pirates around the globe to organize themselves into Pirate Parties.

In the slipstream of their Swedish counterpart they defend the “right to pirate” and privacy related issues.

The USA now has its very own pirate party (interview), and recently The French founded a pirate party, as well as Italy and Belgium,

In Austria the pirates are a part of the communist pary KPÖ.

There was a UK equivalent as founded a couple of weeks ago, but it seems like they sold out already.

    WHAT ENEMY HAS DONE THIS:

    “Copyrights are now stretching into the hundreds of years, and fair use is under constant attack by attorneys who exploit the vagueness of the law. Creativity has come to a standstill in this country for those who wish to work within, and benefit from, the confines of the law. Whereas 50 years ago there was no great uproar at creative “pirating” of works without the permission of the original artist (Mickey Mouse was made as a parody, but Disney prosecutes all similar parodies of their Mickey Mouse symbol), similar legitimate creative derivative works are now smothered by the excessive terms, restrictions and punishments of our copyright system.”

    IT WAS THE HOLLYWOOD JEWS (EISNER,SKG).
    IT WAS THE COURT JEWS (Ginsburg, etc).
    IT WAS THE MONEY JEWS (Morgan, Warburg).

    They Jew us and send the money to genocide Palistinians.

    TO ALL DOWNLOADERS….!!!!
    I am a debut artist who’s just recorded one of the most expensive debut albums in recent history.

    We have just released my debut album as a FREE HQ Mp3 download.

    It was a tough decision for us to make because of the vast amounts spent on the album. We had two of the biggest record producers in the world work on it…. at Peter Gabriel’s Realworld studio and at Abbey Road studio in london.

    Despite all that, we recognise the massive potential the internet and free albums in particular offers. We launched last friday and have already had 1000′s of DL’s all over the world.

    Come over and download for FREE.. it takes 2 minutes to DL because we have a dedicated server.
