Piraattiliitto (original) (raw)

Piraattiliitto ("The Pirate Alliance") is a Finnish organization established to support citizens' rights to freely use and share information and culture. The organization opposes all types of "big brother" societies and weakening of protection of privacy. Piraattiliitto provides news, information and a discussion forum focused on file-sharing, intellectual properties, piracy, freedom of speech and digital culture. In November 2007, Piraattiliitto was voted second in the "person of the year" category by readers of the computer magazine Tietokone.
