The Pirate Party of the United States is a newly formed polit­i­cal party that is deriv­a­tive of Sweden’s Piratpartiet. Extracted from their web­site, their plat­form is as follows:

“The Pirate Party is a newly formed world­wide polit­i­cal party with a chap­ter in the U.S.. We want to fun­da­men­tally reform copy­right law, over­haul the patent sys­tem, and ensure that cit­i­zens’ rights to pri­vacy are respected. With this agenda, and only this, we are mak­ing a bid for rep­re­sen­ta­tion in any­where we can get elected.”

Seeing as they stand for the same things that I stand for and their plat­form and agen­das do a good job of address­ing the big issues that con­cern me, I think that I might finally have found a rea­son to stop being a reg­is­tered inde­pen­dant. Also, what could be cooler than to be a reg­is­tered pirate?
