Pirate Party Comes to the U.S.

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the emo-kids-want-their-free-tunes dept.

Spy der Mann writes "Wired news has published an interview with the Pirate Party of the U.S., which was formed a week after the raid on Pirate Bay. The group patterns itself after Piratpartiet, the Swedish political party associated with The Pirate Bay, and says it wants to reform intellectual property and privacy laws."

    Where's the fun in making fun of someone who's half-joking with themselves to begin with?

    So pirate politics is becoming the new hot Swedish export? maybe the Swedes should have patented it, so then they could have used the MPAA or someone to enforce their copyright and get royalties...
    otherwise what the Americans are doing is PIRATING!

    It is a two-party system so good luck with that. Sounds like another faction of the libertarian-leaning ideals.

    I'm just stating the plain political realities of living in America today. I commend this parties splash on Slashdot but get real and stop being cook-ie about politics. There are serious problems and we get ourselves distracted over non-sense all the time! If you want to be taken seriously become a interest group.
