Left-leaning? Where did you get that?
Nice to finally see some international attention on this subject. I have but one grievance with this article. Right in the beginning "... decidedly left-leaning Swedish Pirate Party..." is so erroneous it's not even funny (ok, maybe a bit).
As stated on their web page (roughly translated) "The Pirate Party takes no position on the right / left issues, or other issues which are outside our political program". To a causal observer one might get the idea when reading about criticism of patents and copyright.
What is most frustrating here in Sweden is the total and utter silence emanating from mainstream media. This issue has been hotly debated on blogs for months and years and, to tell you the truth, it seems that it will go on that way. This means that Joe Q Public does not know the real implications, (s)he will just be "thankful" towards our elected officials for protecting us from terrorist and their children from the millions of pedophiles out there.
Gloomy sunday... wait... almost thursday.
