Interview With Leader of Sweden's Pirate Party

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the two-party-system?-never-heard-of-it dept.

CrystalFalcon writes "Linux-P2P has published an interview with Rick Falkvinge, leader of the Swedish Pirate Party which is aiming to gain entry to Swedish Parliament this fall. (The party's founding was previously covered on Slashdot.) The party is totally for real, totally serious, and has seen approval ratings of 57% in some polls, with only four percent needed to gain seats. Its goals are to cut back copyrights, abolish patents, and strengthen the right to privacy."

    Errr.... 1 beer + 30 minutes cooldown = less imparement than the following activites:

    1. Listening to the radio, and singing along
    2. Talking on the cellphone (this is imparent closer to the .07 range!)
    3. Talking to other people in the car.
    4. Sleepiness.
    5. Screaming Children.

    Should we ban these activites as well?
