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? Seriously… with all that is going on in the world.

Ung Pirat works in principle to encourage something illegal. That they then receive money from a state institution is remarkable.” It'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'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's understandable sinc RIAA is from a non-democratic contry. (I dont whant to hear the USA is democratic bullshit) “It is surprising. Ung Pirat works in principle to encourage something illegal.

And i doubt just being "angry" and "furious" will get you a good reputation. Just imagine a public discussion and the "angry" pirate guy is acting like a spaz while the copyright guy is all serious, calm and reasonable. Now who's gonna get the public's sympathy? After all it'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.

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's limited to a maximum amount we can get). If that doesn'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! What's so special?
