Pirate Party fights copyright
There are many political parties with unusual names and policies around the world and some enjoy moderate success on the political stage. Britain has its Official Monster Raving Loony Party, America a Know Nothing Party and a Flat Earth Party and Canada, believe it or not, a Marijuana Party, while Germany has a Mother with Child Party, a Motorists’ Party, A Non-Voters Party (!), a Spiritually Aware, A Pogo Dancers’ Party, to name just a few. Sweden has the Pirate Party, which was launched at the beginning of the year. The focus of its manifesto, according to the Pirate Party of Austria (PPÖ), is on "copyright reform, exemption from punishment for making copies for private, non-commercial purposes, a ban on digital rights management (DRM) and a reduction of the period of copyright protection to five years."
