<div>Moin</div><div><br></div>I also think that as a political party in a democratic system (as opposed to, say, Kazakhstan, Belarus, or how Tunisia was before the revolution) it is important to stay within the laws. We are trying to change the laws, not break them. I understand that in the US it is infinitely more difficult for the PP to make an impact than in any European country, but I don't think moving everything to Iceland is a good idea for a political party. If you ploan to do something illegal, you probably should not be a political group seeking votes (unless, of course, you live in a non-democratic system).<br>

</div>Yet in doing so, we lose any ability to turn it to our advantage via<br>
publicity (bringing things back up on that domain, if need be, AFTER a<br>
theoretical seizure). also, the very nature of what we're doing is<br>
fundamentally different; political party and file locker are two<br>
different things.<br>
<br>
The other problem is the loss of identity of the domain name. a .is<br>
domain looks less 'official', the sort you see in spam, or as a<br>
shortlink, and gives confusion over where the party is based. It's why<br>
I've always been opposed to using the <a href="http://pirate.is" target="_blank">pirate.is</a> domain for the party,<br>
especially when we have the US-specific <a href="http://pirate-party.us" target="_blank">pirate-party.us</a> (which should be<br>
coming back up in the next day or two).<br>
