The Inquirer – 03 January 2006:
A BUNCH of Swedish file sharers have got together to form their own political party.
The Pirate Party (Piratpartiet) said that it is tired of being deemed a criminals and terrorists by the system for sharing a few measly files for no financial gain or loss to anyone.
Arrrr, I be thinking this be a good idea for the US. Why should the RIAA have all the political sway over Congress? Not that I think we have a right to download music for free, I just think some balance is in order. Grandmothers and 14 year old girls are being punished more than real criminals.
And one last thing, shouldn’t the name be the Pirates 2 Party, or P2P for short?
If anyone starts a Pirate Party in the US I will sign up. I am tired of the lying, hypocritical, bought and paid for Congress. Heave too and prepare to be boarded you old tired political parties! Yar!
Sign me up, matey! I’ve always wanted to keelhaul somebody and the head of the RIAA seems a good choice. I’m tired of the gov’t parroting the RIAA line. Parroting. Get it?
If there is a P2P party founded here in the usa, can we make the leader the Flying Spaggetti Monster?
