Ever heard of the pirate party?

[aposke]

A good way to spread the word about internet censorship is through something normal people deal with every now and then, and if it's something that catches their attention, it's even more likely to make them curious about what they're talking about.
And a very direct way of dealing with political problems is by letting a political party - elected by the PEOPLE - do it!

tl;dr: There's a party who supports Internet Freedom, though not electionable in the US, they've gained quite some public attention in Europe:

For all you europeans out there, here's a list of the momentarily active pirate parties in the world:

You might wanna read through their election programs, you'll find that they support pretty much everything we on the Internet stand for!

The Pirate Party is somewhat related but is not directly ACTA related. Please keep PP information separate and outside of the forum/irc/wall if at all possible. Its an admirable effort, but not our effort.

Like the Guest said, we can't affliated ourselves too deeply with open pirate parties. We have to look as legitmate as possible, although the help would be appicieated, espeically with IRL actions, seeing how they are becoming more likely.

We are not pirates, we are concerned citizens who appose ACTA.
pirating is bad. we do NOT support Pirating.
The more people mention pirates the worse it gets.
EDIT: any one can suporrt our cause, but dont act like or talk about the p word. W

Aww, so I got everything wrong from the beginning?
Guess I'm gonna delete my account here then, I wish you the best of luck however with stopping ACTA via the internet. I'm gonna get out now and help some "pirates" to inform the public.

If you want, you could always keep your account, and just act as a two way informant. Help is always needed, and if your pirates are working IRL, we could always use the man power, vice-versa, we'll just have to identify ourselves, since the only peoplei it matters to is the powers that be.

Just because you support pirating doesn't mean you're not wanted, but we cant be talking about it here.
we need all the help we can get, but one must realize supporting pirating actively is not gonna help us

I fixed your post, also while we can't be pro pirate we can't be anti-pirate either, most of our man power will come from pirates.
