[pp.int.general] Police seizes servers of German Pirate Party

[Marcus Kesler]

I used your letter as a template and wrote to the German Embassy in
the USA as a representative of the Pirate Party of Oklahoma as well as
a citizen of Germany living in the United States.

If there is any response I will be sure to publish it.

Pirate Party of Oklahoma
