Pirate Party Pillages Private Papers

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the information-wants-to-be-free dept.

David Crafti writes "Pirate Party Australia has made the move to host the recently leaked ACTA document in order to highlight the lack of government transparency in the negotiation process. We believe that the document is not under copyright, and we are not party to any NDAs, so there should be no restriction on us posting it. We would like to see what the government (any government) tries to do about it. If it turns out that there is some reason that we have to take it down, then we will, but if this happens, it will only validate the document's authenticity."

    Peter Piper picked a pack of pickled peppers.

    That headline is a mouthful.

      If Peter's Pirate Party pillages a peck of private papers, how many private papers did Peter's Pirate Party pillage?

      Perchance Pirate Party Private Paper Pillaging Prompts Protests? Perhaps Personal Power Prevails? Private Plutocratic Plundering Prevents Public Performance, People's Participation. Preposterous Proposals Per Privileged Punks!

      Phrase play perceived pleasing? Perhaps.

      Precious? Positively!

      Pointless? Plainly.

      Are all against alliteration? AAAARG!!!!!

      No, those of us below the age of 5 find it hilarious.

      When will we wish we were "whooshed"?

      By-the-by, being bitter becomes boring but blithe banter begets bliss.

      Bollocks.

    They should replace that flag logo with a kangaroo wearing an eye patch. Maybe have a koala on its shoulder instead of a parrot.

    I don't think "Pirate Party Australia" has any seat in the European parliament, nor will they have in the near future.
