actually the pirate party in germany has strong roots in combining digital freedom with fundamental rights of citizens. in the last few years germany had a long series of loss of those rights, the digital ones are only a small part of it. journalists being observed by BND, crackdowns on many homegrowers, depicting computer gamers and paintball-players as potential killers, body scanners at airports are some examples. german pirates see all of it and try to develop a more rational approach to these topics than the blind fear of the established parties. that's what many voters recognize, and on top of that they want to see young, energetic, proactive politicians who actually listen to what people individually want, not what the surveys claim that the people want.
it is a movement, and it's growing stronger and stronger. i hope other countries will follow, because pirate parties are about the future of politics itself
fits just fine with the line of reasoning of that company that put a video-stream online and sued users who linked to the video-stream.
can we please get more information about countries with sane laws and judges and lawyers and companies? they must be out there somewhere, the whole world can't be _that_ stupid.
It is the counterweight for the Science-Fictionesque descriptions of utopians. But and try to find the right balance between the two extreme standpoints, quite a task.
