US Pirate Party Endorses Barack Obama

Voor

NEVER trust politicians! they say a lot of things when they are a candidate for something but right after they achieved what they wanted they forget everything they promised.Any president WILL be forced by the industry to do their bidding.

lol ron paul

I agree with that.

I pity the foo’ who don’t vote for copyright change.

lol april fools?

Bill Clinton signed the DMCA. And if you wikipedia more recent laws, they are usually generated by democrats. I’ll admit, they have some republican support, but they were generated by democrats. Voting in Obama, a democrat, AKA a big gov lover is not right.

Republicans are for the free market, wouldn’t that be the obvious choice for pirating concerns and net neturality?

not all democrats have the exact same beliefs as others

[quote comment="254765"]not all democrats have the exact same beliefs as others[/quote]

Not specifically, but almost all are pro-bigger government, government regulates more, etc. The more regulation the less piracy will happen. Is the government going to allow bitorrent if they are allowed to regulate it via the net companies?

Bitorrent is allowed because of a free market, and people will switch providers if an ISP blocks it.

In a democrat world, blocking bitorrent wouldn’t take very long. Nationwide.

dont trust politicians, bet you he wont do shit about it either if he gets elected.

It is better to vote for one candidate than spread all votes to many if this one candidate seems like a good choise and the others just alternatives with the same promotion promises.. ‘n’ shit.

You really can’t think of it as “Democrats = big government, republicans = small government”.

Look how it has been under bush – that is definitally NOT a small government.

I just had to point that out – I don’t support either/any party, they’re both/all useless.

Are you really sure about that?
The unregulated free market allows corporations to do whatever they want to turn a profit. The most profitable position to be in is that of a monopoly. Monopolies are about control of their customers. The assault on net neutrality is being perpetrated by companies that hold near-monopolistic market share in several areas of the US.

Laws are necessary to protect net neutrality. Do not think for a moment that “free market” means freedom.

That’s nice and all, but I still think a “Pirate Party” that says on their homepage “We do not support nor condone any unlawful distribution of copyrighted works.” is utterly misleading BS.

Compare that with the Swedish Pirate Party’s declaration of principles:

“All non-commercial copying and use should be completely free. File sharing and p2p networking should be encouraged rather than criminalized. Culture and knowledge are good things, that increase in value the more they are shared. The Internet could become the greatest public library ever created.”

–http://www.piratpartiet.se/international/english

I completely agree, but the U.S. “Pirate Party” apparently doesn’t. They’re trying to get the goodwill and support of filesharers, who they themselves do not support. Fuck that.

I want a REAL Pirate Party in the U.S., not these wankers. I have no problem with a group with their beliefs existing, but the deceptive name is just low. How about “Ivory Tower Party”?

This is something we have talked over with the US Pirate Party in the past, and the basic reason is, legally, political parties in the US are not allowed to support or condone any actions which is contrary to US law. So, they could say “yeah do it” like the Swedish party does, and thus be excluded from counting as a political party. They can call for the change of the law, they cannot say ‘break the law’. That is one of the basics of US politics. Remember, as anakata has said many times, Sweden is not the USA

John Denver

Seriously I wish people would actually read or listen to something about Ron Paul, even though some supporters make him look like a major turnoff.

10th Amendment: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

This seems to be the Amendment that most of Washington seems to forget. If we just get back to the Constitution then all will be well.

One more thing… has there been any corporate “pledged” donations from any media company to the Obama campaign? If so, copyright ain’t going anywhere. (Ron Paul accepts NO corporate pledged donations, private citizens only)

Not to rant ;)

It’s nice rhetoric, thats for certain, but it wouldn’t work like that. You want to change copyright? Sorry, constitution says its there for a limited time, and it is right now. life+70 or 95 years, IS limited. It also says ‘exclusive rights’ bye bye fair use.

You know what else isn’t int he constitution? Monopolies and anticompetative practices. You say internet will be free, yet, ron paul thinks its a good idea to remove any incentive to compete. There will be one provider for all. Network neutrality? not under Ron Paul.

One thing is clear, what he says sounds great in theory, put it into practice, and anyone will even a basic high school diploma can see the horrendous mess that will result. I know the lawyers are all for him – imagine the fun there will be when he abolishes the infrastructure built over the last few years. Its a very ‘actions are great, consequences don’t matter’ attitude, and I’m still shocked and amazed that anyone that is legally competant to vote, and old enough to, and is considering Ron Paul, has made it that far without having killed themselves with the sort of shortsighted actions he stands for.

Read your constitution again, there’s nothing about personal privacy at all, or about regulation of companies. With Ron Paul, every day will be Beacon day, on Facebook.

Nice rhetoric, that’s for sure, but you have absolutely no arguments whatsoever to support any of your claims. By taking away the GOVERNMENT incentive for companies to compete, they will be stuck in what was previously known as the free market. Do your research better. Also, I believe that the USA was far better off before the 1913, before the establishment of new slavery system with the non-gold dollar. Moreover, now I’m certain that the USA pirate party is on a MPAA/RIAA payroll.

Obama get’s my vote in the primaries. I hope Ron Paul gets nominated by the Republicans, that way he can get crushed when this little fad is over.

Where do you read “yeah do it” in the following?

“All non-commercial copying and use should be completely free. File sharing and p2p networking should be encouraged rather than criminalized. Culture and knowledge are good things, that increase in value the more they are shared. The Internet could become the greatest public library ever created.”

It doesn’t even say “we encourage you to…”, it says “…should be encouraged”. Are you telling me that that philosophy is illegal for a U.S. party to express? Calling for change in the law is exactly what it’s doing!

Compare the U.S. Pirate Party to the U.S. Marijuana Party (http://www.usmjparty.com/). They don’t say “yeah do it”, but they don’t say “don’t do it, it’s bad” either, and they’re not shy about the fact that the party is for those who do it:

“WE feel it is time for the 12 million Americans who smoke marijuana on a regular basis to stop hiding their love for this plant and unite as one large body of voters to demand an end to the unconstitutional prohibition of marijuana and the drug war.”

How many million Americans infringe copyright law on a regular basis? Almost all of us, even those who have never TOUCHED P2P (http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20071119/015956.shtml), and probably well over 12 million Americans pirate. Even if we accept the insane idea that a party can’t opine for laws to change, which is all the Swedish declaration does… What the hell law is it that says you have to insult the very people who might support you? “Hey everyone, here’s a link to torrent the latest DVDscreeners” and “Filesharing is bad” are NOT the only options.

The Piratpartiet declaration doesn’t encourage unauthorized sharing of copyright works, either, but neither does it go out of its way to condemn people who do. You say there’s a law that a U.S. party must do the latter? I don’t buy it. The USPP’s condemnation of actual piracy makes them out to be either cynical manipulators or idiots. Either way they’re bad at what they do.

“@ 38, your an idiot.. seriously..”

Your a hypocrite to support loose copyright laws yet at the same time stifle freedom of expression.

Sean

Since when was the Economy better in 1913? It was bloated and just on the verge of collapsing…which it did. The Constitution also Congress the power to regulate interstate commerce, ie, pretty much any big business. Granted, the commerce clause is stretched to most retarded things I’ve ever seen (see Wickard v. Filburn) it actually does cover a lot.

lowdirt

they’re ALL horrible, horrible options.

Voter

Ron Paul supports net neutrality. He hates big government and big business, which are the one threatening privacy. Obama is questionable, he’s not a consistent voter.(Obama believes in the popular thing right now.) Ron Paul is a consistent voter. Ron Paul believes in leaving people alone and letting them do whatever they want with no government in the way. He wants to pull back our bases out of 120+ countries, which is good for US and the world. There is a reason a lot of people hate the US. We used to promote democracy, and now we’re an imperialist empire. It’s time to go back to how we used to be.

Obviously not just the constitution will be followed. Ron Paul is against monopolies and big business. Government will step in to stop big business domination, but the need to do so is not often. 1 time in 100 years…during Katrina oil companies abused prices.
Privacy laws will always be in effect, and even more so with Ron Paul.
And what the hell do you mean anti competitive? Free Market works by greed and competition. Ron Paul promotes Free Market with making sure no 1 big business has monopoly. He is very against socialist ideas. You are very confused, sir.

ummm… Too be honest, I’m all for internet freedom and shit, but there are more important issues to vote on, like human rights in America. No matter how much is put against internet pirates, we’ll find a way to beat what’s in front of us, we’re the more intelligent people and can easily (comparatively to in real life) get past anything set up to stop us. I think a more important issue would be the rights of gays, lesbians, trans, etc. because those things can’t really be easily overcome without a revolution, and with all the ultra-conservatist-Christian-nutcases, that’ll be hard to do.

Guys, Ron Paul has mentioned that he would make sure that communications companies should not be able to restrict their customers traffic.
Obama’s vague statements are just more politician-speak. Ron Paul is the only candidate that ALWAYS backs up his words with his voting record.

I contributed to his campaign even though I live in Canada, because right now there is a real chance of the first honest US president in decades and that is good for Canada and the world(and pay no attention to the fact that the Corporate Media is purposefully ignoring him, he has a real good shot this year with mass internet access and people being able to find out the truth for themselves)

If only there was a politician like that so that I could be bothered to go out and vote.

You are correct. I wish more people would actually do some research.

Ron Paul is pro ‘net neutrality’? How can anyone say that? Do some fucking research. He has stated explicitly that he isn’t. He believes that the internet shouldn’t be regulated by any means. He is consistent in all of his stated beliefs, and his voting record in Congress for 10 terms speaks for itself. No candidate is more honest or forthright than Ron Paul.

I think Ron Paul would be awesome from the conservative libertarian (which he is) point of view. I do like his support of deregulation of the internet. But he goes to far when it comes to deregulating everything. He wants to put our country back to where it was before the great depression. I believe that this would both have very positive but also very negative effects. I believe in working with regulation in order to promote growth. Regulation that considers the little guy instead of the rich is what I favor. Ron Paul is sort of the opposite of what the republican party is today. But he does hold up what I like about the republican party. I would vote for him if I was a republican. I welcome the change really.

Instead, all donations will go into a pool that will be divided eually between all candidates.

Remove the incentive to give corporations everything they ask for and watch how fast the government stops bending over for them.

Of course, such a thing will never happen since the current system is much too corrupt to ever allow any real change.

As for this particular election; It really doesn’t matter who the people vote for, since the American people do NOT actually elect the president. The Electoral College elects the president and although they usually follow the wishes of the people, there’s no guarantee that they will.

The way I see it, history is going to be made this year. The US will either end up with the first black president or the first female one. Anyone who thinks Ron Paul has a chance of winning is delusional.

[quote comment="254760"]
Free Market works by greed and competition. Ron Paul promotes Free Market with making sure no 1 big business has monopoly. He is very against socialist ideas.[/quote]

I don’t know a single thing about Ron Paul (except that voting for him would be akin to not voting at all because your vote will have been wasted on a candidate who has no chance to win). But the truth is that people who destroy monopolies are highly socialist because they seek to nationalize production by taking it out of the hands of a few and putting it into the hands of the many.

Destroying monopolies does not necessarily promote free market; it only promotes the public interest in a market by increasing consumer knowledge.

The Pirate Bay made a major mistake by endorsing a candidate.

Don’t get me wrong, I agree with every single one of the reasons Pirate Bay made for endorsing Obama, however, let’s not forget who the media gatekeepers are.

The candidates who Hollywood, the press, and other media outlets like are the ones who get the most favorable timeslots, coverage, and interviews. A Pirate Bay endorsement is enough of a reason for the media outlets to throw a monkey wrench into Obama’s campaign.

So while I agree with them wholeheartedly, I REALLY wish they kept quiet.

Personally LGBT rights are more important at the moment than destroying the RIAA and what not through politics, we can at least wait another 4 years for that to happen, or let them run out of business in enough time.

Bitorrent is allowed because of a free market, and people will switch providers if an ISP blocks it.

[quote comment="254892"]Ron Paul supports net neutrality. He hates big government and big business, which are the one threatening privacy. Obama is questionable, he’s not a consistent voter.(Obama believes in the popular thing right now.) Ron Paul is a consistent voter. Ron Paul believes in leaving people alone and letting them do whatever they want with no government in the way. He wants to pull back our bases out of 120+ countries, which is good for US and the world. There is a reason a lot of people hate the US. We used to promote democracy, and now we’re an imperialist empire. It’s time to go back to how we used to be.[/quote]

Did you know the real reason why Osama Bin Laden hates America amnd wants to attack it so bad, because Satan is controlling America now, when the CIA Trained Osama Bin Laden to fight those Russians (used Osama for selfishness) and after that we just left Iraq and never helped rebuild the country.

People need to understand Osama was just angry because Our Evil Empire country used him to stop Russia, we used Saddam too.

Our country keeps harassing and using people all around the world, no wonder why Americas the most hated country in the world.

We need Ron Paul, we need better leadership or else one day America could get nuked because whatever goes around comes around and if America keeps harassing people in other countries who DID NOTHING to Mr Bush, or his country, I bet one day every country and it’s peoples gonna hate us.

The hate keeps going everytime Bush Harasses innocent people, and hurts and kills people.

In case you haven’t noticed, Republicans are trying to restrict user freedom on the Internet, and give full control of access to the big telecom companies. The Democrats believe (like republicans) that content/intellectual property owners must be protected and compensated for their use. But, only republicans are trying to restrict our freedom to access any server on the Internet. This is fact, not fiction, and no amount of talking-points and spin can conceal this truth.

The kind of change and unity that Obama is offering is not the kind that this country needs. Everything comes with a price to it, look at his proposed methodology, look at his voting record and look at the stances he’s advertising. Are they good for the county? (Never mind the world is he and what he stands for good for the country? The rest of the world is NOT part of the process)

Any party lending support to a candidate that condones another round of amnesty for illegal aliens or one that ignores the problems caused by the sanctuary cities that have begun to act as city states; have either not looked at the big picture or they have their own agenda. I’m thinking that perhaps these pirate party member are actually Democrats in disguise. Otherwise they would have recognized Ron Paul for his record. Rather than some wet behind the ears not even a completed term under his belt.

As for my personnal selection, it’s neither of the two mentioned.

Ron Paul for Prez

Dr. Ron Paul says this on Internet regulations:
“I don’t understand all those problems that we face, although the point I make is I have a healthy disregard and fear of the bureaucrats doing it because once you do that, those big companies are going to regulate, they’re going to be the lobbyists and the politicians that regulate the law, and I think you’ll be in worse shape.”

Which is what we already have so he is correct!

I like Kucinich and Obama too, but think we need Ron Paul at this time.

Gov’nt in the US has become bloated and useless!

I’m not American but all I can say about your now ongoing elections is don’t vote for Clinton I think she’ll start off a bit better than Bush and then just get a whole lot worse…
If somehow Barack wins then i think it’ll be a stale term with no real change either way….
I also know you have some Religious nut-jobs who get a lot of faith votes and may do ok which is bad as they’ll force or try and force their beliefs into laws…
Also since I use the internet a lot I Know of Ron Paul and FFS vote for him! at least do some research on him/everyone else(real research) Especially since he gets basically ignored.

One last thing it’s people who say something like: “Oh he’ll never win so don’t waste your vote” that’ll help them not win if you all just stuck to your guns and don’t budge the votes go up they’d get recognized and possibly more people would join. …you never know…

A vote for a democrat or a republican, is a vote for Corporate America. You can’t win no matter the way you choose. The only difference between the two, is how much cheese they choose to hand out the nations poor. They have all been bought and sold to the highest bidder.

Ever hear of the Napoleanic wars? A big reason Napoleon couldn’t win was because he had to leave a buttload of troops in Spain to fight the insurgents so it didn’t become a boiling pot of rebel soldiers that could launch a real attack against him. That’s just like Iraq is the the US. If we just left now nothing positive would EVER come out of it, other than a bunch of countries with a grudge against us, another country ruled by a ridiculous theocracy, and a major threat to the people of America and just about every other Westernized country because extremeist Muslims hate any Westernized country. Anyone who promises to take our troops out now is lying for votes, or is a terrorist themself. I’m against this war and all, but it’s here and just leaving won’t solve the problem.

Anyway, bigger government doesn’t always mean more Big Brother effect. I could make a government that was huge without any stupid survailance on my own people. Plus, completely destroying all of the current offices and committees and what not would put so many people out of a job, and we have enough people trying to live as a McDonald’s frycook, last thing we need is more of that shit popping up all over the country. Next thing you know we’ll have McDonald’s brand filet mingion and BurgerKing brand fish filets in the supermarket…

When you really get down to it democrats understand that politicians are naturally corrupt. Republicans are stuck in the idea that every piece of bullshit fed to them is the golden truth.

also…. If you don’t like Ron Paul its because you’re a stupid dumb bastard who has never taken the time to really observe all the candidates, what they stand for and how they holdup those values when being debated on them. You can “lol” all you want but Ron Paul stands up for what he believes in and there are only really two candidates who do that in this election so perhaps they will get to run vs each other and may the best choice win regardless of party.

Get educated. The USA Constitution requires a Bill of War to be presented to both houses of congress, and upon passage a signature by the president. No Bill of War was ever presented to congress, the actions taken by this white house are in clear violation of the Constituion. The “war” is illegal and unlawful as it is not a true war but an executive action of force.

Ron Paul for Prez

@153 > How do you know Ron Paul is not a liar?

Easy, look at his voting record! He is the only one who doesn’t say he’s for/against something and then votes a different way when it comes time to be counted! He has always done exactly what he says he will do!

Also, he is also the ONLY candidate that doesn’t take any money from big corporations or their lobbyists!

Ron Paul is not running as a republican, but as an independent (because there are no real republicans left). These days most people would say he falls much more under a category like ‘Conservative Libertarian’.

If you file-share or like to smoke a blunt once in a while, you should be voting for Ron Paul. Not that we will get any real change right away, but it would be a very good start. How can we “Promote freedom around the world” while we are slowly losing ours?!?!?

Ron Paul is the first independent to actually stand a chance in a 100 years or more (Ralph Nader was pretty funny and helped start internet gorilla campaigning, but never really stood a chance)! We all know neither party is worth a shit anymore, so vote independent and tell all the bitch-ass demirepublicrats to all take a walk!

HAHAHA. ROTFLMAO.

Obama said that he will fight for the MPAA’s claims, even worldwide.

That is the exact same attitude like the ppl sending TPB threatening letters.

Whoever in the pirate party endorsed Obama is possibly a MPAA/RIAA troll. Shame on you!

Concerning Ron Paul/net neutrality: Who would you rather have your internet controlled by? Your ISP with the possibility that there will be free ISPs through the free market or the government that is bought by antipirate-lobbyists?

If you chose the government regulation you can be 100% sure they will be using your tax dollars to watch you and destroy your life if you share.

Easy, look at his voting record! He is the only one who doesn’t say he’s for/against something and then votes a different way when it comes time to be counted! He has always done exactly what he says he will do![/quote]
Yeah, he says he’s against net neutrality, he voted against net neutrality. So, get ready to pay a lot more for even posting a comment here, except he’s not really against net neutrality, but he doesn’t really understand it all, so he voted anyway, and didn’t bother researching the topic. Great idea.

[quote]Also, he is also the ONLY candidate that doesn’t take any money from big corporations or their lobbyists![/quote]

Sorry, Obama hasn’t either. The difference is, Obama has receieved donations (acceptance of them is automatic) yet has refunded them. Why not go and check the facts yourself, it’s listed on the FEC, as all candidates are required to do. Sounds like Ron Paul’s campaign just fed you a lie. If they’er feeding you stupid, easily disproved lies now, how many if he were ever to get into office?

[quote]Ron Paul is not running as a republican, but as an independent (because there are no real republicans left). These days most people would say he falls much more under a category like ‘Conservative Libertarian’.

Another lie, alas. Lets see, 1968, Wallace got 46 electoral votes, 48, strom thurmond got 39, 1912, teddy got 88.

More recently, perot got 19% of the popoular vote in 92, half that of incumbent Bush.

This is hwere the Paul campaign has fallen down, it makes too many claims that rely on the ignorance of the general populace. The most ignorant, instead of going, as I just did with your claims, “that doesn’t sound right, let me check that” go “cool” and pas it on as fact. Also, notice that I, for one, have given verifyable facts, you have given claims, mine are easy to check, yours doesn’t even stand brief scrutiny. Thats why the only major candidate Paul beat in Iowa, was the one that didn’t bother with Iowa.

Barak is a democrat. The democrats want my guns and therefore I cannot vote for him. Besides, as mentioned before, most copyright laws are supported by democrats. Obama knows that a large portion of his supporters frequent the intertubes. He’s just pandering to them.

You american just vote for the worst candidate this year. Let us the world continue to hate you so we can enjoy seeing you fucking dead. FUCK THE EVIL EMPIRE.

Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech.

In other words you cannot legislate net neutrality. Government cannot make a law/s telling people they can/can’t censor speech (websites) on the internet.

The US already has the 1st amendment — rather it used to.

The 4th amendment also protects your privacy on the net.

Your activities cannot be monitored nor tracked unless there is a warrant supported by Oath or affirmation.

Democrats do not understand this however and think the best option is MORE government.

You have already fed the Beast too much! It has become enormous, arrogant, and vicious. It’s now biting the hand…

Wolf in sheep’s clothing, beware.

Looks like the US Pirate Party is just a sham. They probably are just part of the Man trying to gain trust and have the naive follow. Or worse they may just be ingnorant and naive themselves!

Private property rights, small government, and liberty, good.

No property rights, big government, and tyranny, bad.

The unregulated free market allows corporations to do whatever they want to turn a profit. The most profitable position to be in is that of a monopoly. Monopolies are about control of their customers. The assault on net neutrality is being perpetrated by companies that hold near-monopolistic market share in several areas of the US.

That’s absolute crap. The reason net neutrality is because of the government regulations that GRANT them that near-monopoly. It is competition that would keep the net neutral, as people demanding that as a service would cause a company to come into existence to serve them.

You are correct that a monopoly is a profitable position – which is why they constantly lobby the government to provide it. This country had THOUSANDS of “phone companies” until the government nationalized the phone system for awhile. Then after that they just made it a monopoly state-by-state and gave it to AT&T.

if Government is the problem, then MORE government is not the answer. Net Neutrality legislation is NOT the answer. As soon as you go that route you’ve said “It’s ok if you regulate the internet”. Pandora’s box has been opened and things will get a lot worse. You’re influencing them right now, but once that door is opened I want you to consider – who has more money and contacts to influence our government? You, or the providers?

You open that door and you’re screwed. The free market and competition is the ONLY answer to this problem. We need LESS regulation, not more.

screw all you wannabe internet hipsters/haters that think its cool to hop on the ‘hate ron paul’ bandwagon. there’s nothing cool about that.

if you think you’re wasting your vote on ron paul because he’s unelectable, you’re just another person that feeds the election gameshow. you throw away your vote by giving it to a candidate that doesnt fully represent your values. thats a weak compromise.

N. H.

@62:”…also the largest government expanses have happened under republican management.”

I dislike both parties and both have greatly expanded the Federal Government but I might point out that the largest single expansion took place under Franklin Roosevelt (New Deal, etc), who was a democrat. Then comes George Bush(homeland security, etc) the younger, who is a republican.
But the New Deal was bigger than anything else by a factor of 5-10 at least. But every president thus far has, without exception, expanded the government to some degree.

It is hard to believe like the others that a democrat will go for the copyright.

Also to include if it wasn’t already when it comes to politics they have party whips which they go up to say you if you were in congress and say hey if you don’t vote yes for this next bill then we wont let you get on the farm committee like you want to be and make your life hell.

Also they vote to keep there position in congress and be reelected and make those who give them money to be happy so they will still give them money.

What we need is somebody who will stand up against all of that because anything to change copyright has to go through the congress
