People in this country generally aren't motivated, but if you take away their interwebz, their mafia, their farmville, cut them off from the new centuries opiate of the masses, and see what starts to happen. If they can't passive-aggressively blog about what they want to change, maybe a few with that get up and go will try and actually bring some real change around. Though, The Onion said it best in one of their classic articles: "Human spirit hard to clean out of tank tread."

Submission + - Pirate Party to Run Pirate Bay from Parliament (torrentfreak.com) 2

rdnetto writes: 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.
