Pirates everywhere!

[kandrathe]

So I was cruising around the BBC website and saw Swedish pirates capture EU seat

There is now Pirate Party representation.
I don't follow world politics as closely as I should, and there are real issues, not just file sharing and such that they campaigned on, but I do find it somewhat of a humorous name and decided that with pirate activity off Somali getting the attention it has that it was even more humorous to me so I decided to share. :)

Hmmm, I see the Pirate Party and Piratbyrån is also active in the US. It seems to be a further extension into media and information from the "free software" GPL movement. One upside of Obama is his stance on Net Neutrality, but we shall see. Big money has a way of changing the minds of big politicians, especially when campaign season is on the horizon.
