[governance] Pirates enter german government

[Ian Peter]

For those who want a quick primer on Pirate Party (like I did)

Basic political position of the Swedish Pirates

My favourite quote

³Culture and knowledge are good things, that increase in value the more they
are shared. The Internet could become the greatest public library ever
created².


And from a music industry perspective

My favourite quote

³What is called the music business today, however, is not the business of
producing music. At some point it became the business of selling CDs in
plastic cases, and that business will soon be over. But that's not bad news
for music, and it's certainly not bad news for musicians.²
