Or maybe that was a friendly way to say "your music is not intersting
for us. Thanks that you gave us a good reason to refuse your PR".

>> News press - Pro-Piracy model for music
>> We have released a pro-piracy model for music and getting a great feedback

Which pirate party gave you feedback? An interview from a member of a
pirate party is _no_ official feedback.

>> Pro Piracy Model summary
>> Short summary of our pro-piracy model: Ultrawired will be distributed with a
>> pro-piracy model, available for FREE download (mp3, wav, ISO) and spread
>> over every network (website, social, youtube, torrent, rapishare).

What you call "pro piracy" is just a default "we cannot find a label
that produces our music, so we have to sell the stuff on our own". There
are thousands of bands doing this.

Btw: The interview of the suiss pirate says, that you are releasing your
music under creative commons. Why don't you put that info on your
website too? And why do you call creative commons piracy?
