</div>You respond to a different question. I did not say "you need to help The<br>
Pirate Bay". I did not say "you need to use grassroots activism".<br>
<br>
I said "you need to use this enormous media cue to profile YOURSELVES in<br>
MAINSTREAM MEDIA". Send press releases everywhere, with quotes,<br>
commenting on the story. Be the news source and provide plenty of quotes.<br>
<br>
I see a lot of people here acting like they don't WANT their own pirate<br>
party to become nationally known. Events like this require immediate<br>
action towards the press. Publishing a story on one's own page does not<br>
count.<br>
<br>
It is imperative that oldmedia (press, TV, radio) in every country<br>
associates these kinds of issues (due process of law, copyright fraud<br>
events, etc.) with the local PP representatives and call and ask for<br>
comments. PPSE is there since 2006. I believe PPDE has gotten there. In<br>
order to get there, you need to see these catalyzing events for what<br>
they are, and BE THE NEWS SOURCE for THE OLDMEDIA.<br>
<br>
That does SPECIFICALLY NOT include publishing stories on your own web<br>
page. It does, however, include sending a press release to all relevant<br>
oldmedia (national TV, national radio, press, everything with broad<br>
coverage and specialized technology coverage) as soon as one hears of<br>
the event. In PPSE, we've trimmed the response time to about 30 minutes.<br>
When the Pirate Bay was raided on May 31, 2006, our response time was<br>
about one hour. Everybody else needs to do as good in order to be the<br>
FIRST with comments to media.<br>
<br>
If the story has already broken, it's too late to provide comments. The<br>
reporters are busy writing other stories then.<br>
<br>
YOU NEED TO OWN THE PIRATE TOPICS IN OLDMEDIA. That is an absolute<br>
precondition for success. Oldmedia must know they can rely on you as a<br>
newsfeed in this field, and that you can always provide meaningful<br>
comments. Big events like these are key to getting to that position.<br>
