		<description>Seriously... with all that is going on in the world.  It seems this money could go to something more useful, like securing Energy, so you are not at the mercy of Mother Russia.  

Why not use this money to help end the Cholera epidemic in Zimbabwe, or perhaps help out our friends int he middle east?</description>

		<description>all political parties always end in manipulating for their own asses, this stupid shitty pirate party exists only to support tpb moneymaking and nothing else, they have absolutely ZERO politcal ideas, and its sole existence proves they don&#039;t have a clue and are a bunch of clueless ignorant petit bourgeois wanting to make money out of thin air </description>

		<description>&#8220;It is surprising. Ung Pirat works in principle to encourage something illegal. That they then receive money from a state institution is remarkable.&#8221; 
 
It&#039;s called Democracy. 
 
O and things are illegal because the goverment decides they are illegal, if the goverment overthrows this and makes it legal, well it&#039;s legal. And the only way this can happen if someone is pushing the change. So beeing suprised by this fact shows of complite lack of understanding the basic operations of a democratic contry, but hey that&#039;s understandable sinc RIAA is from a non-democratic contry. (I dont whant to hear the USA is democratic bullshit) </description>

		<description>Maybe there isn&#039;t much political action yet but what else but anger and hate for the industry gets people to run projects like tpb (+ hundreds and thousands of other warez sites), upload terabytes in torrents/rapidshare/etc, take the time to crack every technology they bring out ...? 
And i doubt just being &quot;angry&quot; and &quot;furious&quot; will get you a good reputation. Just imagine a public discussion and the &quot;angry&quot; pirate guy is acting like a spaz while the copyright guy is all serious, calm and reasonable. Now who&#039;s gonna get the public&#039;s sympathy? After all it&#039;s especially the older/ generally more conservative ones you have to get on your side; not the young liberal ones who are already on your side.

		<description>What&#039;s so special? Most democratic countries have some kind of program to support political parties that qualify. Obviously UG has been successful.  
Today there are Landtag (state parliament) elections in Hesse, Germany. If the Pirates get 1% of the votes then we also will get government support (about EUR 0,38 for every vote we get for the next 4 years and iirc EUR 0,70 for every Euro we get through donations or other ways; of course, it&#039;s limited to a maximum amount we can get). 
If that doesn&#039;t work, we need to get 0,5% of the votes at the EU parliament elections which is actually quite likely.  
Anyway, good luck to all pirates all over the world! </description>

		<description>Well, the other component is passion. In the United States, at least, I see that nobody is angry enough to take effective action. I mean, it takes a lot of effort to organize a political movement. Why the hell would anybody go through all that effort if they weren&#039;t furious about something? If we are just going to be apathetic and complacent, of course nobody is going to listen to us, because it is not like the 20% care that much about it in the first place. We need to be more angry, because there is sure a lot to be angry about. But we aren&#039;t - yet. </description>

		<description>Atleast in sweden, if 20% are pro-filesharing, then that could potentially be 20% of the votes lost to any party taking an anti-filesharing stance. That should be enough to make any party think long and hard before they take such a stance. </description>

		<description>You have a good point, the US democracy is a far way from being an actual democracy at all. Per defeinition a democracy is when all voices are heard and taken into account, not just the majority. Let us hope though that atleast a proper organisation can take place, even in the US. </description>

		<description>Demonstrations are just that - demonstrations. It is not as powerful as the popular opinion. At least in the United States, about only 20% of people think that file-sharing should be okay. 
   
This is a war for public opinion, not for government policy. In a democratic government, majority rules, and it is up for the public opinion to decide, not the government or industry or things like that. Only the popular opinion is supreme, not demonstrations or anything like that. In order to change the popular opinion, we must for a citizens&#039; union against copyright holder supremacists in order to do anything effective. 
 
 
The fact is that no &quot;Citizens against Copyright Holder Supremacism&quot; exists as of yet, and it needs to exist before anything positive could happen.

		<description>Well, only in countries that support third parties well. The fact is that third parties do not really work that well in the United States. The only way to effect change in the United States is to pressure one of the two parties into changing their stances. </description>

		<description>Regarding piracy Sweden is truly &quot;remarkable&quot; to use the IFPI&#039;s word ;)  But there are still many undemocratic things like the censorship firewall or secret service now being allowed to monitor all foreign internet traffic. And on a personal note it&#039;s just too friggin&#039; cold to move there :P </description>

		<description>They don&#039;t listen as much as you whould think. There has been several huge demonstrations against the several new laws combating not only piracy but our privacy and integrity. Despite this the goverment(with a few exceptions) acts as though the the issue didn&#039;t even exist.  
We will make our voices heard next election though.. </description>

		<description>Its ironic that UP is getting a great deal of funding, while it&#039;s mother party doesn&#039;t get a penny. We&#039;re still trying to &quot;hire&quot; a full time party-leader with donations. </description>

		<description>The United States also does care about its people and their opinions. The only reason why the industry has control right now is because the citizens have not bothered to organize yet, nor have they bothered to voice their opinion yet. After all, how can any government take a group of people&#039;s opinions into account if they don&#039;t even bother to voice them or do anything about it? Of course people are going to be ignored if they just do nothing about it. The way to solve this problem is for the citizens to organize into a group, like form a Citizens against Copyright Holder Supremacists, or something like that; only then can the people take back control, and voice their opinions. </description>

		<description>This development is good not only for sweden. If UPs mother party gains seats in parlament, it really opens up for the rest of the pirate parties around the world, whouldn&#039;t you agree? </description>

		<description>Sweden is a beautiful country. All Swedes should be immensely  proud of their country! I was amazed how much influence the public have in politics. It has room for improvement, although there is nothing anywhere in the world that comes closer to Sweden to a true Democracy. 
 
Stand proud Sweden, no matter what other lobby groups say, your country is the envy of any free society, BE PROUD! If I was younger, I would move there in a heartbeat.  </description>

		<description>This is basic organization. Why not organize in the same way in the United States and other countries? In the United States, there is the U.S. Pirate Party, but nobody really takes third parties seriously in the United States. It could have some usage in organizing people, but only some. At least in the United States, most of politics is done by non-governmental organizations. In the same way, I do not think that single-issue parties could really do that well in other countries. After all, there is the piratbyran in Sweden. 
    
What is more important is for people who are against copyright holder (MAFIAA) supremacists to simply organize into a movement. With more organization, people are able to do more than they can by themselves. Let there be the Citizens against Copyright Holder (MAFIAA) Supremacists - or something like that. </description>
