Aarrr!

The Pirate Party, which formed in Sweden to among other things, reform laws regarding copyright and patents. Their agenda also includes support for a strengthening of the right to privacy, both on the Internet and in everyday life, and the transparency of state administration. Their cause has grown to the point where they are the third largest party in Sweden in terms of membership.

In recent months, the Pirate Party platform has spilled over into EU politics and, I am informed today, there is a Pirate Party in Canada.
