| As a supplement to my earlier posting: I think I should report that recent

| Piratenpartei appears to be at approximately 3%.

Micropayment Systems Are Like Buses...
,----[ Quote ]
| This is actually an extremely important aspect. If this micropayments
| service takes off, it means that Google will become one of the main
| gatekeepers to content, both free *and* paid. In fact, it will become the
| enforcer of the difference, blocking your access to stuff that you haven't
| paid for. It's not hard to imagine that present links to free, unauthorised
| versions of that stuff might start disappearing from Google's index.
|
| Coupled with the Google Book Settlement, which effectively gives the
| company a monopoly on access to out-of-print copyright works, this
| micropayment scheme has the potential to give Google control over even
| greater swathes of knowledge online â not a very pleasant prospect, even
| assuming it tries to stick to its âDon't be evilâ line.

Cor! - UK Pirate Party's Smart Move
,----[ Quote ]
| What's interesting is how tightly focussed the Pirate Party is. I think
| that's wise: otherwise it would just become another Raving Monster Loony
| Party. By restricting its message to an area that it understands, and which
| is crying out for reform, I'm sure it will benefit in the long run. It will
| also, usefully, force the other parties to frame their own responses in this
| domain.

The Price of Justice

| If you believe that denying a fair trial to around 5 million people in this
| country is wrong, maybe it's time to join the Pirate Party?

Pirate Party UK Officially Registered
,----[ Quote ]
| The UK Pirate Party has been officially registered at the Electoral
| Commission and is hoping to follow in the footsteps of its successful
| counterpart in Sweden. With all the recent controversy surrounding
| anti-piracy legislation and lawyers going after alleged file-sharers, the
| party has become necessity.
