Press Release Monday, May 04, 2005
More than 800 pirates and filesharers demonstrated in Stockholm on
Sunday May 1st. Among the speakers were broadband industry figure Jonas
Birgersson and representatives from the free art/culture scene and The
Pirate Agency. It was perhaps one of the largest gatherings ever of
Internet pirates, copyright-critics and other believers in free
culture.
The demonstration was held under the paroles “freedom to copy” which
was manifested through a successful physical copy swap.
The speakers included Palle Torsson from Artliberated, Jonas
Birgersson, a Swedish Internet-figure and CEO of Bredband2, and finally
Sara Andersson from The Pirate Agency who spoke about the importance of
copying and the urgent need of privacy in digital communication.

The Pirate Agency (Piratbyrån) was founded in 2003 in support of the
global movement against copyright and in defense of the idea that
information and culture should remain free. With more than 40 000
community members we are one of the largest movements in the world
supporting filesharing and piracy.
