The political pirate movement keeps spreading, and Scandinavia is to be one if its solid international strongholds. The movement was initiated by Swedish pirates led by Rick Falkvinge in January 2006, and now two of Sweden's neighbours, Finland and Denmark, are getting their own Pirate Parties. The Finnish Piraattipuolue will be officially founded in the coming weekend at a meeting in Tampere, Finland. The Danish Computerworld magazine reports that the Danish Piratpartiet has already been founded. Both parties will have an agenda following closely that of the Swedish Piratpartiet. The next great political opportunity and challenge for the European pirate movement will be the EU Parliament election to be held in June 2009.
