		<description>[...] The Pirate Party is now the second-most popular party for voters 18-30, and Swedish newspaper DN.se predicts a vote of 5.1% in the election, which will be enough for a seat in Parliament. Sure, it&#8217;s a minority vote (and that&#8217;s being generous), but a pirate can surely stand his ground. [DN.se (warning: Swedish) via TorrentFreak] [...]</description>

		<description>Ja, das ist meine echte email-adresse! Heute Nacht hatte ich das “Vergnügen” mit einem echten Jünger der mainstream-Presse zu kommunizieren. Das Problem, ich kenne diesen Menschen schon mein halbes Leben… Heute NAcht, wurde mir bewußt, dass Menschen, die für sich selbst denken können, in dieser Gesellschaft unerwünscht sind! Das hier ist kein Gelaber von jemanden der zu viel Zeit hat - nein, das hier ist eine Anfrage an Leute, die die Fähigkeit haben, jemanden zu folgen, der diese Gesellschaft in die Knie zwingen wird. Ich will hier keine grauen Mäuse hören - ich will Menschen, die bereit sind dieses Land, durchwachsen von Korruption, brennen zu sehen. Dieser Text ist kein Scherz, kein Spaß - dies ist die letzte Möglichkeit Freiheit zu erkämpfen! Danke.

Yes, that is my real email-address! Tonight, i had the &quot;fortune&quot; to meet a real believer of the mainstream-press. The problem, i knew this men half my life... Tonight, i realized, that people, who think for themselfes, are no longer accepted in this society. This is no chatter of someone with to much time on his hands - no, this is an outcry to people, who have the ability, to follow a movement, that will bring down this system to it&#039;s knees. I don&#039;t want to hear them grey mice complaining - i wan&#039;t people, who whant this land, rotten with corruption, to burn. This text is no joke, no scam - this is the last opportunity to fight for freedom! Thanks.

I am sorry for my bad english - please, correct that text and copy it. Thank you!

		<description>People constantly pretend like the pirate party is only a single issue party, i.e. about legalizing filesharing and &quot;stealing&quot;. 

That&#039;s just not true.

The fact is, we have in the last 10 years made leaps and bounds away from civil liberties and towards big brother across the world in very sad, meaningful ways. There are cameras on our streets, there are wiretapping laws and anti-terrorist laws that basically strip ANY suspect of their constitutional rights and completely changing the game. Many times the &quot;in dubio pro reo&quot; base assumption of innocent until proven guilty has been inverted and the defendant needs to prove his innocence instead. 
Our whole system is crumbling because of fear, lack of education and morals in the political substance and a general disconnect between ruling powers and voters.

As it is now, you have a freshly passed law in Germany that allows ISP and prosecutors/police to cooperate in such a way that if you are suspected of clicking a webpage more than once on purpose, and that webpage is on a &quot;contains childporn&quot;(which they define and nobody has public insight into, obviously) blacklist, they can, in realtime, link your IP back to your identity because the ISP signed/agreed to cooperation and start a case SOLELY based on the attempt of accessing a webpage and the proof of burden that this was an accident rests COMPLETELY on YOU.

So anyone who knows what a tinyurl is, a webpage with frames or redirection, or a html can guess what happens if you send someone a preformatted homepage/url/mail with the REAL target being one of the sites on this blacklist.

For the technologically challenged:
This law that is SUPPOSEDLY for protecting against childporn(which is ridiculous to begin with, as it deals solely with webpage access and nothing about stopping it in the real world) can be simply used to get people into real trouble and deep sh1t if you can get them to open a mail or click a link or visit a webpage. 
It doesn&#039;t get more complicated than that, a simple attempt to access will suffice and suddenly YOU have to make up a way of proving that it was someone else that made you visit that page and not on purpose.

I&#039;m sorry, but that is just deeply, deeply disturbing and a 100% abuse of political power to do something that has completely no benefit whatsoever except for enabling further censorship and control measures over a society.

These things are why you need someone computer/internet/IT literate in the government, not just because some kids like their music free.</description>

		<description>God I hope they win a seat.

For people to get pissed off enough to elect a member of a single-issue party is rare. It&#039;ll send a crystal clear message:

Passing crappy laws to try and prop up a dying business models is NOT acceptable in a democratic society. It WILL cost you votes.

Pirate Party FTW!!!</description>

		<description>Kip, one do not need to register to vote in Sweden, if you got a Citizenship, just wait for your voting card to arrive in the mail when all other swedes get them. That is, unless you got it to recently for the bureaucrats to get it for you but you should be fine. If you are abroad thou it may be more difficult, just ask the embassy.</description>

		<description>@70.. 

Obviously you have done no research.. 

---
here are hundreds of little bands trying to scrape a living out of music and it’s guys like Pirate Bay that ensure they get no money out of it. If this continues there will be no money in music unless you have big money backing from the big four. End result…? All the small alternative bands jack it in for 9-5 jobs, we end up with a load of manufactured pop bullshit in a cultural wasteland akin to watching X-Factor repeats ad infinitum.
--- 

It&#039;s so wrong im not even going to bother posting a response to it.. You obviously haven&#039;t been on the Internet very long.. Unfortunate but we all must remember there are many people who cannot afford internet services even these days.. When they do indeed retain services they bring their preconceived opinions with them... Sad but this is the case of poster #70...</description>

		<description>Does this mean we&#039;re going to see a flood of EU dox hit wikileaks so that everyone can actually read them?

or heaven forbid, torrents?

Transparency in politics? It&#039;s more likely than you think.</description>

&quot;65/Obama Fail&quot;

Actually, it was 66 ... child, you fail right from the start.

&quot;Rofl, I like it how you use crazy videos to justify crazy opinions.&quot;

And I like how you call something &quot;crazy&quot; without offering any evidence to the contrary ... the inexperienced imbecile has broken every campaign promise ... would you like me list them for you, or are you capable of using Google without me holding your hand? 

&quot;How about you actually educate yourself using books and libraries instead of funny videos on the internet?&quot;

One needs to &quot;educate&quot; oneself using &quot;books and libraries&quot; in order to highlight his voting record, his unwavering support for the status quo, his broken campaign promises, his numerous ties to Wall Street, Hollywood and the establishment? The video simply points out the obvious ... only an indoctrinated fool who chooses to close his eyes will find it &quot;funny.&quot; Once again, try that Google thing ... do a little research, use your brain ... oh, and turn off that HD propaganda machine where you get your nightly fix of Hollywood-approved disinformation.

&quot;You know, stuff with actual depth and reason.&quot;

And what Acorn funded publications would you like to recommend? Do you even have the slightest clue of what the heck I&#039;m talking about? Seriously, you sound like the type of cretin who actually believes that there&#039;s a &quot;hole&quot; in an ozone &quot;layer&quot; ... but the point which you obviously missed was simply this: pirates MUST get on the same page politically if we are to succeed in the US, Europe, Asia and everywhere else. Allow me to reiterate for the benefit of someone with a short attention span like yourself ... while I hope that the cited Swedish newspaper is correct in its prediction (and that many more political victories will follow), it&#039;s not going to amount to squat if Pirate Parties support or endorse current tools of the establishment. Got it, now ... or should I draw you a pretty diagram with rainbows and unicorns? &lt;3</description>

		<description>The US Pirate Party could use a good boost. They still don&#039;t even have a huge say in just one state. But if they decided to come to Ohio by the time I&#039;m 18 (2 years) then I&#039;d probably help vote for them.</description>

		<description>KEEP THE INTERNET FREE

STOP ONLINE PIRACY

Re post 54;

Your failure to see the difference between taking someone&#039;s work whilst denying them fair recompense for it is far more delusional than anything T.Brains has said (though his analogy was a little extreme). What&#039;s the difference between illegally sharing 1s &amp; 0s and illegally reproducing any other work or intellectual property? I&#039;m sure you&#039;d be a bit pissed if you spent a year writing a book and on the day of release you found out that someone had copied it and sold it to all your fans first.

And just because you do not physically steal something, does not make it any less of a crime. Online crimes are just as real as any other. You wouldn&#039;t be very happy if someone empted your bank account using the internet now would you? It would make no difference to you whether it was an online crime or a bandito with 
six-shooters had that robbed the town bank... you still wouldn&#039;t have your money.

It&#039;s also worth bearing in mind that there is no law against sharing a car to work - there is against copyright infringement. In fact, you could argue that as the cars were designed to hold more than one person and the automotive industry is aware of this, your analogy is decidedly ill-considered and fatuous.

Having said all that... keep the internet free, just don&#039;t rip off artists who are trying to make a decent living out of music. Sure, Metallica and some of the other stadium bands have behaved like complete tossers about the whole thing. For every Metallica though, there are hundreds of little bands trying to scrape a living out of music and it&#039;s guys like Pirate Bay that ensure they get no money out of it. If this continues there will be no money in music unless you have big money backing from the big four. End result...? All the small alternative bands jack it in for 9-5 jobs, we end up with a load of manufactured pop bullshit in a cultural wasteland akin to watching X-Factor repeats ad infinitum.

But as long as it saves you a few quid...</description>

I do, I am German when it comes to other Europeans and European when it comes to others. 

65/Obama Fail: 
Rofl, I like it how you use crazy videos to justify crazy opinions. How about you actually educate yourself using books and libraries instead of funny videos on the internet? You know, stuff with actual depth and reason.

Anyone else:
What are you waiting for, that somebody else founds a PP in your country? That way nothing will ever be done. Screw up your courage and start it yourself! Others will follow.</description>

		<description>Considering starting a Scottish Pirate party here. From there we could leapfrog into a British one I suppose....

Problem is getting money back to the copyright holders (heresy I know) to continue the industry allbeit in a different format.

Perhaps a pan European digital library paid for by a compulsory &quot;Internet Liscence&quot; akin to the BBC and give grants to studios to produce material for distrobution...

Anyone wanting to export has to accept that this is how it would work in Europe, that we have technocratic solution to the problem.</description>

		<description>Every bit counts.

- One seat at the EU counts.
- Boycotting counts.
- Public displays counts.
- Even downloading more counts LoL
- Writing your representative counts.

Every step people takes no matter how small counts toward what we all want.</description>

		<description>I will vote for them.

However, they have 50000 members to go to take a change to get a voting position. And I&#039;m not citizen in Sweden to vote for them. :(</description>

		<description>Congratulations to the Swedish Pirate Party! I am very proud of your political party progression of great successes in such a short period of time.I hope the success will continue to expand rapidly so that we have a political voice in the legislation process. I and the majority of people from the U.S.A are supporting your party 100%. I hope we start to form our own Pirate Party in the U.S soon. Keep up the great works!

Best wishes,
Khmuprince</description>

		<description>this just in:
The poll published Thursday in the Stockholm newspaper Dagens Nyheter shows the Pirate Party&#039;s backing has surged after a court verdict against The Pirate Bay file-sharing site. Four men behind The Pirate Bay were convicted this month of copyright violations and sentenced to a year in prison. 

The survey of about 1,500 people shows 5.1 percent of Swedish voters support the Pirate Party. Four percent is the minimum for a seat in the European Parliament. The error margin was 1.8 percentage points. 

The Pirate Party was founded in 2006 with the aim of legalizing noncommercial file-sharing of music and films on the Internet.</description>

You poor poor deluded fool. 

You compare the exchange of 0&#039;s and 1&#039;s to stealing. I don&#039;t ever recall walking in to a shop and slipping CD&#039;s or DVD&#039;s inside my jacket.

If you fail to see the difference, you truly are one deluded fool. 

Okay now I have to carpool to work. Geez, I guess i&#039;m ripping off the auto industry for sharing a ride.

It&#039;d be possible to elect a member of the pirate party to Congress, we&#039;d just have to get all members of the pirate party to move to one Congressional district.  Preferrably, one that&#039;s already split between Republicans and Democrats.</description>
