Anti-copyright Political Party
In Sweden, a political party has formed to legalize filesharing. Their website is currently only in Swedish.
This article describes their platform:
"the party says that it is against seeing the developing world starve because the developed world refuses to share its intellectual property.
Its massage is that corporations are engaging in racketeering in the developing world and a few power hungry individuals and greedy corporate entities are infringing on privacy and integrity. Piratpartiet says that it will strike out immaterial law, ignore WIPO and WT, and annul any further treaties or policies that hinder the free flow of information. They will refuse to allow data retention nonsense based on terrorism claims or failed RIAA business models.
The new party, wants to break the four per cent barrier (225 000 votes) this autumn to take up seats in parliament."
