"Pirate Party" targets Swedish election
A new political party focused on decriminalizing so-called Internet piracy and making copyrighted material free for all is planning to run in Sweden's next general elections, the head of the party said on Tuesday.

"We will participate in the general elections in the autumn," head of the new "Pirate Party" Rickard Falkvinge told AFP.

On the party web site (www.piratpartiet.se), which went online on January 1, it states that its one campaign issue will be "abolishing intellectual property" and decriminalizing Internet file-sharing.

"We are not red, blue or green. We are just pirates," he said.
