We have an official Pirate Party! Arrrr, matey!

Like many of the things I post here, I stole this story from Sancom

The UK now has its own official Pirate Party. Unfortunately, this is not a party for the traditional kind of pirate, but a party dedicated to the reform of copyright law

Here's an article about them.

Whilst this may be slightly questionable:

It is proposing an exemption from copyright law for non-commercial file-sharing

I am intrigued by their policy of reducing the length of copyright on works from creator's life + 70 years. I've never understood why something so long is needed.

So the children's children's children can milk it for all it's worth until long after no one cares anymore.

I've never understood why something so long is needed.

Because Disney is greedy.

Isn't "Arrrr" supposed to be "Argh"?

no, because "argh" is a sound of frustration or something while "arrrr" is a pirate's grunt lol
