The Swedish Pirate Party has won 7.1% of the vote in the recent EU elections.
This means they'll have a seat in Parliament.

What? You're not familiar with the third largest political party in Sweden?

    The Pirate Party wants to fundamentally reform copyright law, get rid of
the patent system, and ensure that citizens' rights to privacy are
respected ...

    All non-commercial copying and use should be completely free. File sharing
and p2p networking should be encouraged rather than criminalized. Culture
and knowledge are good things, that increase in value the more they are
shared. The Internet could become the greatest public library ever
created.
