A little less than a month ago a temporary alliance under the banner of Anonymous successfully broke into the servers of security firm HBGary and acquired information about a security firm menage-a-trois busying themselves with pleasing the American Chamber of Commerce in their struggles against undesirable leftist groupings and labour unions.

Jag har skrivit rätt mycket om Sindelagen och Zapateroregeringens inställning till upphovsrätt under de senaste åtta åren. Igår hölls en omröstning i spanska senaten om hur processen ska fortskrida under våren. Det lyckades Piratpartiets internationella representanter äntligen lyckades uppmärksamma.

During the protests in Tunisia and Egypt, of which the collective Anonymous took a part, that same collective suddenly got other problems which, mostly, went unnoticed.

About five or six years ago, I read a book by Ted Chiang. An anthology of his collected works (eight shortstories, all of them brilliant). This particular blogpost is a reference to the short story Understand, which everyone should read because it is truly a masterpiece and deserves every bit of attention it can get.

I've noticed a particularly idiotic post on the site of the man who is now going to represent me as a Pirate Evangelist in Europe and the world at large.

Well. Here. Rick Falkvinge becomes a lot easier to work with when you don’t work with him at all.

This is one of those weird days.

I usually drop subjects when they become really popular. I don't write much about ACTA for instance, but keep informed. I didn't write much about the Telecoms package after it became popular, but was reasonably informed.Telekompaketet en annan.

Sitter här och läser igenom Carl Bildts rapportering om Tunisien som består av... Kritik mot Ryssland!!. Carl Bildt lyckas på ett utmärkt sätt koppla ihop Tunisiens uppror med antalet barn födda i Ryssland de senaste åren.

I realise that I may sound slightly sarcastic about the parliament's efforts to be diplomatic when I'm picking out only the parts of Tunisian praise.

Actually the parliament has, at times, been very critical of the development of human rights in Tunisia. See for example the parliamentary debate from February 2010 where all political groups praise the Tunisian developments except Greens/EFA and GUE/NGL who say:

At my boyfriend's house we're both involved in pirate politics and have been following the Tunisian situation very closely. This means the information flow is high from every possible angle and when he's been following and updating me on the groundwork, I've been tracking the EU-Tunisia relations from 1995 forward.
