Following the raid against the popular file sharing website The Pirate Bay, several Nordic organizations launch the international project The Pro Piracy Lobby. Their aim is to create a common ground for further discussion and cooperation.
The interest in file sharing, piracy and the Internet in general increases exponentially each day, says Tobias Andersson from the swedish Piratbyrån (The Bureau of Piracy). Pirate groups and parties are being grown as flowers in springtime.
In Scandinavia cooperation across borders has already been fruitful. The swedish Piratbyrån has acted offensively and succeeded in inspiring the startup of both a Danish and a Norwegian Pirate Group. Together with the international file sharing website The Pirate Bay, Scandinavia has established itself as a prominent figure in the debate concerning intellectual property and piracy.
Together we have accomplished a great foundation for bringing forth critique of the dominant media corporations, says Claus Pedersen from the danish Piratgruppen (The Piracy Group). We have become an important actor in the ongoing debate.
