Hmmm…

Pirates unite and hit EDB!
That way they would actually notice they did something wrong.

Other than that? It’s the guys own fault to have his contract removed.
You can’t spread your beliefs and hope your boss would agree.

I’ve he would have supported gay marriage and the companies boss didn’t like it he could also be removed from his post…

Doesn’t matter. Hit that shitty corp with a decent DDOS, deface it’s websites and publish some internal security information.

That’s the only way to get back at them-especially since thy are some kind of it security outfit.

But don’t look at me – i’m too stupid to do it.

I’m not saying anyone is right or wrong here, what I’m saying is that you should be objective towards sources and not believe the first story told and come to conclusions after only hearing one side in an important matter like this.

If you are a cop in the UK you cannot support the British National Party or you lose your job. So much for democracy!

Please do tell us the real reason then.. Of course the company is going to deny it if it’s true, what else did you expect?

Maybe there are some hackers out there who could give EDB a little something back for their treatment of Jonas…? I’m thinking Ddos or similar…?

Well, it’s just a thought, and I am not saying this is moral… But neither is what they did to Jonas, and it won’t kill someone, just lose them a bit of money! So how about it?

@Chris

You do not need to be a Swedish resident or citizen to contribute your skills to the Swedish Pirate Party. There are no such limits on membership or activismship, either.

If you want to talk to us, come visit us at IRC server irc.piratpartiet.se, channel #piratpartiet.

Cheers,
Rick

If the person performed the task he was employed for then I don’t see what issue there could be with what that person believes.

The act doesn’t surprise me though. Not in the least. I can only thank EDB management for them revealing some of these dirty truths.

It should be noted that in a comment to national Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet the company that he is actually an employee of (the consultant firm) have strongly and firmly denied that his contract with EDB was terminated because of his political views. (source: http://www.svd.se/nyheter/inrikes/artikel_2567385.svd)

One should always stay objective and not believe the first story told. Do some research before you come with claims of Sweden not being a democracy, EDB being a terrible company and so on. But I guess that this site is a bit too biased towards the pro-piracy movement to actually be critical towards sources in articles like this.

“Democracy” hahahahhahahha

point me to a country that actually has a REAL Democracy? NO, the United States of Corporate Oligarchy doesn’t count.

Remember: Corporate sponsor, lobbyists, foreign interests, and “stockholders” vote always count 500 to yours.

“the media in Sweden has reported that interest in politics among the youth is decreasing at an alarming rate.”

What could possibly be alarming about young people taking interest in their country’s government?

I can support IP law reforms, privacy, etc., but why call your group the Pirate Party? It sounds like you’re promoting software piracy.

Breaking the law isn’t really an ideology, so I don’t feel bad that this guy was “discriminated” against.

[...] Numera uppfattar nog de flesta internetvana människor akronymen som en symbol för när det är extra hum-hum bråttom att avskeda någon med misshagliga, ur företagsledningens synpunkt, åsikter. Skandalen med piratpartiets Jonas Bergling och hans “terminerade” uppdrag för EDB Business Partner var väckt stor medial uppmärksamhet, även internationellt. [...]
