Support for The Pirate Bay doesn't stop at the Swedish border, nor it is limited to blogs and forums. Today, a group of Russian Pirate Bay supporters will throw a street party at Pushkin Square in the center of Moscow, with the full approval of the Russian government.

Pirate Bay supporters can be found everywhere. Aside from tens of millions of ‘regular’ site users, there are other more prominent supporters too. Novelist Paulo Coelho, who wrote the 65 million-selling book “The Alchemist”, is an avid supporter of the ‘bay, and even offered to testify in their favor during their court case.

Today, in the Russian capital Moscow, there will be a street party thrown by fanatical Muscovite BitTorrent fans. The event will be held in Pushkin Square and is symbolical of their support for The Pirate Bay Four, who will discover the court’s decision from their copyright infringement trial tomorrow.

There will of course be entertainment at the event, including a live performance from independent musicians Simon and Shlimmer. Open Wi-Fi will also be provided at the party which means that no one has to miss out on the latest torrent releases.

In Russia all public demonstrations have to be approved by the government. Until recently the local authorities had refrained from issuing a permit, but luckily the event eventually got the green light.

The organizers of ‘The Street Pirate Party’ are confident that the final verdict in the trial will demonstrate the relevance of justice not only to The Pirate Bay, but also file-sharing as a whole. “The trial of the Pirate Bay is an excellent example of how ugly, stupid companies motivated only by their greed and inertia, want to prevent people sharing music, movies, or anything, on a purely altruistic basis,” they said in a statement.

For those who are planning to join in and attend the event, please feel free to send us some pictures.

“Support The Pirate Bay and its wooden prosthetic legs,” say the organizers, “take your own three cornered hat, parrot and don’t forget your eyepatch. Say Y ‘aarrrr!!!”
