The good old Pirate Party, you know, the Pirate Bay supporting political outfit that enjoyed some success in Sweden in this year's European elections, has registered itself in the UK so that it could start putting forward candidates for elections here. Not sure if they actually plan to, though, of course, we are due a big fat General Election in the next year or so. And with the government's new digital man Stevie T sounding a little more hardline on piracy than his predecessor Stevie C, perhaps the pro-P2P lobby could benefit from pushing online copyright onto the election agenda.
