A group of file sharers, rippers and burners, copier and pasters in Sweden have formed a new political party to stand in Swedish elections and fight intellectual property law.

You may not say an idea is your property. & to treat it as such, in a time of starvation and disease is evil. https://www.piratpartiet.se/ ... read full story / add a comment |
