An anonymous reader writes "Due to outrage over the verdict in The Pirate Bay trial, the Swedish Pirate Party has gained 3000 members in less than 7 hours. It is now bigger than 3 of the 7 parties represented in the Swedish parliament. 'Ruling means that our political work must now be stepped up. We want to ensure that the Pirate Bay activities — to link people and information — is clearly lawful. And we want to do it for all people in Sweden, Europe and the world, continues Rick Falk Vinge. We want it to be open for ordinary people to disseminate and receive information without fear of imprisonment or astronomical damages.'"

YOU ARE A PIRATE!
Yar har, fiddle di dee,
Being a pirate is alright to be,
Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free,
You are a pirate!
(spoken)You are a pirate!
(crowd)Yay!
We've got us a map, (a map!)
To lead us to a hidden box,
That's all locked up with locks! (with locks!)
And buried deep away!
We'll dig up the box, (the box!)
We know it's full of precious booty!
Burst open the locks!
And then we'll say hooray!

I suggest creating a facebook group and tying a coloured ribbon around the antennae of your car. This is what we do in Canada.

The name might just be in reference to TPB.
Unfortunately, even though they got 3,000 members, 90% of them are leachers.

I dunno -- pirates with colored ribbons? I don't think it'll catch on very well.
I'd suggest that you tie an appropriate flag [wordpress.com] on there instead.

executing... (that doesn't quite sound right, but okay... you get the idea)
In America, at least, we usually just keep adding syllables until it not only sound right, but it makes us sound super smart.
Try "executivizing"

First of all, it's not stealing, it's copying. It's like when Jesus copied the fish and bread and fed all those people. Maybe some bakers and fishermen were pissed back then, but you know, it was for the common good. Copying was obviously the right thing to do then and it's obviously the right thing to do today.
(ps. Whether or not Jesus actually had star trek gear or it is a made up story, is irrelevant)
Maybe they should just move... (Score:5, Funny)

Well I wouldn't steal a car and I wouldn't steal a handbag.
And I wouldn't steal a cd from a brick'n'mortar stall.
But I'd still download music from a pirate torrent tracker.

Do you pay Time-Warner when you sing "Happy Birthday to you" in public,
or do you steal/pirate it?
The multiphonic version most often heard at birthday parties, which starts out sung simultaneously in six dissonant keys and ends in five completely different ones, qualifies as a creative adaptation not subject to copyright.
Any lawyer with the balls to replay a recording of this version in court should get charged with contempt for assaulting the ears of the court.
