You cannot enforce laws against non-commercial filesharing without spying on everyones private communications. Without freedom of speech how are you going to fight the corporations on animal rights or human rights for that matter? unless your political party has a strong stand against current copyright laws then you will not have animal or human rights or any level of well-being that the corporate-run facist states don't deem it neccessary for anyone or anything to have. Search for Rickard Falkvinge's talk at Google Tech Talks where he spells out exactly what is at stake.

Just remember that voting for a one-issue party will actually get more results than voting for established parties. Voting for a one issue party sends a strong message as to what you think is important. If the pirate party get's too big to be ignored, other parties will slowly adopt their ideals in an attempt to win back those votes. That way, maybe in the future, this one issue party will no longer be needed since it's goals have been accomplished. Of course this way, your influence in other issues will be less. But you can't have your cake and eat it too. Focus on your most important issue. Voting for established parties only reinforces the status quo, as does abstaining. Next time you go to vote, if you care about privacy and personal freedom. Vote for your local liberal, libertarian or pirate party.

Anyway, on the good news front....our minister(The Swedish Culture minister) has been notified concerning the Pirate Bay statement. A member of the green party in the Swedish Parliament felt that it was just too much and reported her to the constitution committee(Wihooo ^^ :D). So what does this mean when it comes to good news...well, she has given a slap on her fingers for inappropriate behavior though not sure what more they can do though I can always dream what I would want them to do to her. But it also brought publicly to the Piratebay matter which in my view is only good news this close to the Parliament election. I’m a swede and all I can say is SHAME ON YOU.
