Guardian Unlimited Technology | Technology | Pirates pursue a political point:

The Copyright issue is not going to go away. This is from todays Guardian:

"Richard Falkvinge decided to start a political party at 8.30pm on New Year's Day. He hoped to get about 2,000 online suporters by February. In 36 hours he had 4,700, and had to temporarily shut the site.
