The MP3 Political Party
from the file-trading-laws dept
It seems some folks in the UK have registerd the MP3 Party as an official political party there. It's not totally clear what their goals are except to support the MP3 file trading community online. One proposed slogan for the party, though, is "Elect us and we will delete one regulation per day, one law per week, one subsidy per month and one tax per year." Now they just need to build their own P2P government system, where all bills and proposals and votes are handled.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
