The swedish Pirate Party has gained "7.1 percent of votes in Sweden in the Europe-wide ballot," making them capable of gaining a seat in the European parliament. Major win for the internet generation! The Pirate Party has a number of goals:
1) Re-regulate copyrighting.
2) Abolish the patent system.
3) Reduce surveillance on the internet.
About time there were official voices of support for modern forms of media exchange, no?
