Og den centrale kommentar:
>> The name of the movement is pointed out as being odd, but the writer (
>> http://erkki.wordpress.com ; http://twitter.com/andelins in Swedish)
>> does seem to have accepted the the pirate parties' favorite concerns
>> as legitimate in the context of the overwhelming growth of technology
>> in everybody's daily lives. The Information Society vs. imaginary
>> property struggle is also compared to earlier ideologies and previous
>> conditions that caused interest for change.
