Hi Ian,

the Swedish Pirate Party has spread all over europe. The German Pirates Party
is one of them. When enough pirates from other european countries have made
it to Bruxelles we are allowed to form a block. Right now we are glad one of
us has made it.

The Pirate Bay was our first hoster and when they were banned was the first
time the Pirates were banned too. Today, counting the members of the party
the Pirates are number 3 in Sweden and the Pirates Youth Organisation is
the biggest Youth Organisation in Sweden and the Queen pays many visits to
them.

In Germany our youth have founded an organisation right now and their
number are growing very fast.

In copyright we think very much like the french inventor

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Marie_Jacquard

who invented the loom mechanism controlled by punched card.
That machine was almost a computer.

Jacquard gave his invention to the french people for free. That was the
first time of Public Domain I guess. In return the french government
gave him an old age pension so his invention was not in vain.

Today Copyright Law is a mess. The French Revolution probably would not
have happend today.

In the beginning computer programmes have been free too. Without that
windows would not even exist. That is why we need a reform of Copyright
Law.

Censoring one of our sites was a misshap. But misshaps do happen and that
is why we don't want censoring in the first place.

If only people had been talking to each other but that is exactly what
censoring is about.

Lives of people do depend on Open Access today. It is not ok to let them
die just for profit. That is why we need to reform the copyright into a
right of copy :)

Copying music with a computer that has a copyright tax on it to a cd that
has a copyright tax on it and the tax is payed to the music industry already
but the music industry insists that copy is prohibited - that is only one
side of the coin.

The other side is people starving because the genes of the pig are
copyrighted.

By the way I know of artists "starving" because the tax is payed to the
copyright industry and not to the artists.

Kind regards
Peter
