Pirate Party Coming To Canada

Posted by timothy on from the but-the-vikings-hit-canada-hundreds-of-years-ago dept.

An anonymous reader writes "After scoring a surprise electoral win in Sweden and getting high-profile support in Germany, The Pirate Party is coming to Canada. The party's goals are fairly simple. People should have the right to share and copy music, movies and virtually any material, as long as it is for personal use, not for profit. It opposes government and corporate monitoring of Internet activities, unless as part of a criminal investigation. It also wants to phase out patents."

    maybe because the plumber got pauid when he did the work, and the IP creator did not?
    Please tell me you don't advocate such laughably silly systems as patronage for video games and music?

    I for one do not want to only play games and hear music funded by the idle rich.
