PIRATE PARTY ELEGE DEPUTADO EUROPEU



"A Swedish party that wants to legalise Internet filesharing and beef up web privacy scored a big victory Sunday by winning a European parliament seat, results showed. The Pirate Party won 7.1 percent of votes, taking one of Sweden's 18 seats in the European parliament, with ballots in 5,659 constituencies out of 5,664 counted. 'Privacy issues and civil liberties are important to people and they demonstrated that clearly when they voted today', one of the party's candidates, Anna Troberg, told Swedish television on Sunday. The party was founded in January 2006 and quickly attracted members angered by controversial laws adopted in Sweden that criminalised filesharing and authorised monitoring of emails. Its membership shot up after a Stockholm court on April 17 sentenced four Swedes to a year in jail for running one of the world's biggest filesharing sites, The Pirate Bay". (aqui)

Vai ser bonito porque o presidente Báráque foi eleito para defender as patentes U.S.A. no mundo, Bush pôs a GNR nas feiras a catar os ciganos, mas o presidente Báráque é mais tecnológico (excepto prós paquistaneses, esses, continua a matá-los na old way).
