fck.

This is cool - the world's first commercial Darknet[1].
I've previously mentioned Darknets and this is the coolest one yet.
Why? Because it is being launched and promoted by a Swedish politikal party.


Their campaign is about three things:

• Kulturen måste släppas fri (reform of copyright that stifles the development of culture)
• Patent och privata monopol skadar samhället (replacement of the current patent system)
• Privatliv (protection of privacy)

uhm, cool[2].

Also check out their international affiliates.


[1] Here's a another definition - very much more ominous.
[2] Personally I'm not against copyright and patents[3] but it's cool to see a serious political party with such a progressive agenda.
[3] though I do think that currently copyright and patent mechanisms are being abused to the point of nausea.
