A new teaser trailer for the upcoming movie TPB AFK – The Pirate Bay, Away From Keyboard – was just released. In the teaser, Peter “Brokep” Sunde describes the cat-and-mouse game between the legal side and technical side, and the rationale for using the Pirate Party as ISP. From our side in the Pirate Party, this was a very interesting and politically provocative (i.e. good) move.

The trailer describes the steps leading up to when the Swedish Pirate Party became the Internet Service Provider for The Pirate Bay, something that is still the case. (You can verify this by doing a traceroute to The Pirate Bay – the last visible host in the chain should still be thepiratebay.piratpartiet.se, as it was in 2010.)

We actually went a step further, and also promised to host The Pirate Bay from the inside of parliament if elected, using the constitutional parliamentary immunity for political activity in parliament. Since we had stated that promise as an election promise (widely covered in media), it would meet all requirements for being political activity, and therefore constitutionally protected.
