After their former hosting provider received an injunction telling it to stop providing bandwidth to The Pirate Bay, the worlds most resilient BitTorrent site switched to a new ISP. That host, the Swedish Pirate Party, made a stand on principle. Now they aim to take things further by running the site from inside the Swedish Parliament.

The party has announced today that they intend to use part of the Swedish Constitution to further these goals, specifically Parliamentary Immunity from prosecution or lawsuit for things done as part of their political mandate. They intend to push the non-commercial sharing part of their manifesto, by running The Pirate Bay from ‘inside’ the Parliament, by Members of Parliament.

it sort of funny lobbiest spend ungodly amounts of money to get a bogus case pushed thru
the political backlash gets the pirate party elected to the government
then they are using the constitution of the country to actually protect the pirate bay.
robbie that an example of doing something creative
it never been done before, and what most impressive is that actually turns the strenght of the lobbist into a weakness.
