Ebbene sì, il partito nato dai seguaci di The Pirate Bay ha un deputato nel Parlamento Europeo. 7% dei consensi in Svezia. E’ un’ottima cosa.
In April, a court in Sweden sentenced the four men behind The Pirate Bay, the world’s most high-profile file-sharing website, to a year in jail and ordered them to pay $4.5m (£3m) in damages.
Mr Falkvinge said it had played a significant role in getting them the vote.
"The establishment is trying to prevent control of knowledge and culture slipping from their grasp.
"When the Pirate Bay got hit, people realised the wolf was outside the front door.
"That happened one month before the ballot opened, so it had quite a rallying effect," he said.
Parties within the European Parliament tend to join one of the big voting blocs, otherwise their MEP can become marginalised.
Mr Falkvinge said they were still considering their position.
"We’re looking at four different EU Parliament groups," he said.
"However, we’re probably going to join either the Green block or the ALDE group."
Deve essere bello vivere in un paese dove la gente si sdegna e reagisce agli scandali cercando di cambiare la situazione.
Deve essere proprio bello …
