Lars Gustafsson: “Why my vote goes to the Pirate Party” (English translation of
today’s text)

,----[ Quote ]
| Lars Gustafsson is probably Sweden’s most profilic living writer. Since the 
| late 1950’s he has produced a steady flow of poetry, novels and literary 
| criticism. At the same time, he has until recently been active as professor 
| of philosophy at the University of Texas. Now he’s back in Sweden and just 
| started publishing himself on a blog. He has also received a long list of 
| literary awards, most recently – only two days ago – the Selma Lagerlöf 
| award.

They use the word "pirate" just to attack the straw man terminology
(propaganda). They simply encourage sharing.
