Why yes, it IS a political topic. :)
I was just reading where the German conservative coalition is losing some seats in their Parliament. A group that captured seats (for the first time apparently) was the Pirate Party. I'd never heard of them and had to look them up. It's apparently an international coalition, mostly based on information freedom and privacy rights.
They initially sounded kind of cool and libertarian, but with some further reading, they appear to be more leftist, as in, "We're all about freedom for stuff we like, but not for stuff we don't like".
Cool name though.
