Pirate Party Member Insists on Copyright for Book


www.spiegel.de
Encouraging free sharing of files on the Internet, including copyrighted material, is an official platform of Germany's Pirate Party. This week, however, a senior member of the party has been policing illegal downloads of a book she published through a subsidiary of Random House. Will the party continue to promote its "information must be free" line?

How did I miss hearing about the Pirate Party? Do they have a candidate running for president? Can we write their names in when we vote?

Oh, never mind, I just read they are from Germany. My bad.

No, they actually have a USA party here...this is the Mascot.

From my understanding (which is not much) the USA version are sort of Anarcho-capitalists, but that was my impression on something I read a year or so ago and haven't ever really paid much attention to them. But I do like this mascot...lol
