The Norwegian Red Party has just launched a campaign against the music
and film industries' prosecution of people involved in internet file
sharing -

http://filesharer.org/


The Party Red (R=F8dt) of Norway closely follows the trial against the
web site The Pirate Bay in Sweden, and whole-heartedly supports the
file sharers. - This is about choosing the side of the future, thinks
Elin Volder Rutle, Red's second candidate for Oslo in the upcoming
parliamentary elections.

- It is almost sad to witness how a desperate industry clings to it's
millions, trying to blame its troubles on a handful of Swedes who have
enabled file sharing for people, says Volder Rutle.

The party Red has launched the campaign site filesharer.org, calling
on everyone who shares files, and wants file sharing to be legal, to
upload their pictures and show their support for The Pirate Bay.

- File sharing is becoming one of our most important means of
exchanging information. If the guys behind The Pirate Bay are
criminals, the so am I and most other Norwegians, comments the Red
politician.

- That is what we want to show with this campaign. The industry has
picked someone to blame, while everyone sees that the law is out of
sync with reality. According to the law file sharing is criminal, but
it is both impossible and meaningless to try to stop progress.

- If you are going to punish all who share files, you need to start at
A in the phone book, says Volder Rutle ironically.

The party Red's second candidate thinks file sharing also has an
important aspect not tied to the entertainment industry.

- We live in an age when sharing information is easier than it has
ever been before. Through file sharing scientists all over the world
can cooperate on large research projects. We want intellectual
achievements, information and knowledge to benefit the community by
sharing it and developing it in common. The alternative is letting the
few grow rich by controlling information that could could have
benefited the great majority, Elin Volder Rutle says.

- Run, industry leaders! The future is coming for you! ends a smiling
Volder Rutle.
