[pp.int.general] IP issues and governmental corruption - an interesting post by L.Lessig

[Jan Huwald]

With this "turn-around" Lessig came closer to what we pirates fight for. The 
understanding of transparency of the German Pirate Party is intended to 
repair the mentioned parts of the broken democratic system. A fraction of 
ours is keen on increasing the level of democratic participation (e.g. with 
more direct election elements). I ask you (all) to track Lessigs thoughts, if 
they comply with our movement, or if he suggests new ideas or ways of 
thinking. In the political field he is playing now this won't be easy.

Regards,
Jan
