I wonder if the Stockholm Pirates would've swept the Mets last week

Here is a rather interesting article on Sweden's Free-Web party. This is the first I've ever heard of such a political party existing anywhere in the world. Given my feelings about these matters, I'd consider voting for them. I certainly believe in as much de-regulation of the internet as possible and that it should kept a free, open forum. I'm also strongly in favor of net neutrality and strongly opposed to large corporations squeezing fines (with threats of lawsuits) from so-called "thieves". This is a strategy which they've largely abandoned in the last year or so since they finally understand that it's horrible PR to sue your own customers and that it breeds a lot of well-justified ill will, but they still insist on going after sites like piratebay even though the spread of information online is virtually unstoppable. I can go on in much greater detail about this, but I figured that this might be food for thought for all of you given today's LIS 2000 presentation on fair use and what not.
