Pirate Bay Co-founder Peter Sunde Running For European Parliament
An anonymous reader writes "Peter Sunde aka brokep of TPB fame is going to run for European Parliament in 2014, as a Finnish Pirate Party candidate. As he still has a prison sentence to serve in Sweden, he might have to campaign from behind bars. 'Amusingly, the Pirate ticket in Finland could have been even bigger than it is now. Sunde informs TorrentFreak that he also reached out to Finnish-born Kim Dotcom to join the race, but the Megaupload founder currently has other priorities.'"
Everyone wants a one trick pony, because they steal votes from the major parties, forcing them to pay attention to the issues the one trick pony campaigns for.
