Wikileaks Now Hosted By the Swedish Pirate Party

oskii writes "During his visit to the the Swedish capital Stockholm, Wikileaks spokesman Julian Assange has struck a deal with the local Pirate Party. The party, which participates in the national elections next month, will host several new Wikileaks servers to protect freedom of press and help the whistleblower site to carry out its operation."

    Now fucking us out of due process to combat copyright violations is a "matter of global security."

    Their heart's in the right place, but could they possibly have a worse strategic approach?

    ...but he also needs to be held accountable if things go wrong.

    Yeah, a bad move. RIAA vampires make CIA goons look like buncha of Ray Kurzweils.

    If I were a swedish citizen I _would_ vote for someone who bites off more than they can chew. It's better than the opposite - doing nothing - which is the status quo. And the reality is that most political parties do worse than simply doing nothing. I saw an essay when Gerald Ford died claiming he was the best president in the last 50 years simply because he's done less than any other president.
