The discussion about the US pirate party made me wonder : what about Lawrence Lessig and the Pirate Party ? I see that on 2008 he had some reserves about it :

Is he still on this position ? Is he maybe on the list ? (Hi Lawrence) 

He was mainly questioning the use of the word "pirate", for understandable reasons, but are there discussions with him ? As a proponent of transparency and free culture, it seems unreasonable that we can't exchange ideas friendly.
