The Swedish government recently had 3 web technicians in their courts to answer for the high crimes of sharing. In what is being dubbed the Spectrial (between spectacle and trial), the defendants are being accused by some of the most wealthy corporate parasites of the music industry of copyright infringement. The Swedish pirates however, unlike those pirates of yesteryear - the visionaries of brute force capital accumulation - were being challenged not for violently dispossessing anyone of goods, but for helping to make informational commodities like music, movies and software as widely available as possible for free. The defendants run the website thepiratebay.org, a search engine for BitTorrent filesharing.

New Afrikan Anarchist Political Prisoner Ojore Lutalo release date!!!!!
Submitted by onion on Mon, 2008-10-13 10:42
Long time New Afrikan Anarchist Political Prisoner, Ojore N. Lutalo is set to max out after 26 years of imprisonment at New Jersey State Prison. While his exact release date is still not finalized, it will most likely be late November or early December. The NJ DOC website has his max out date as December 25th. Ojore, with the help of a lawyer, is in the process of working to get his good time/work credits restored, a result of his victory in the NJ Superior Court in 2007, which overturned a charge the prison convicted him of in 2005.
