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. Voting For the Pirate Party is not about abolishing copyright laws, it is about saving your right to free speech and your right to privacy without which humans won't be able to peacefully change anything for the better. -Karl re: #36
