I think this thread deserves an update. Yesterday we had the “Vote-Like-A-Pirate-Day” in Germany ( http://www.votelikeapirateday.com/ ) and 2 % followed up. That was 845,000 voters in the entire Germany with the exception of the Free State of Saxony (Bundesland Freistaat Sachsen). Which means we succeeded in convincing more than 600,000 people in the last three and a half months since the european elections. We scored 13 % among the male voters between 18 and 21 years, those who voted for the first time.

And we probably crossed the 10,000-members-line together with the election.

“Pirates are misguided morons.”

I don’t think it’s quite that simple. This may be true to a large degree, and still would if you swapped ‘pirates’ in that sentence for e.g. truck drivers, baseball players or nurses.

I see many good arguments in response – not necessarily pro-piracy as such, but anti-copyright, a given or rather taken (or even stolen) right clearly separate from any natural rights!
