After registering as a legitimate political party in the United Kingdom, the UK Pirate Party received over 100 new members per hour, according to its leader. “It has exceeded all expectations. Put it this way, donations have been coming in so fast that PayPal were concerned we were a fraudulent site,” said Andrew Peter Robinson, party leader.

Yes Max
But they will have no real power.
If you wish, you may waste your Vote!
BTW
That Bloke who wrote “The Black Swan” was on BBC last night, he had meetings with David C (Next British PM)….He expects to have more meetings with him…
May be you & Stacy should try for a meeting?
Mike
no, YOU have not real power.
supporting any of the current parties is a waste – as they are all corporate owned.
If such a party can change patent and copyright laws that would be an awsome choice..babysteps though..
hi, i think pmf is an aewsome extension of your philosophy max and i believe it will do well, but, seeing as the site is in beta i will say the following for constructive criticism (people may disagree): i feel the site layout is a bit chaotic and scrambled, not clean cut enough….anyway keep up yarns!
I have an awsome extention of myself as well
this site wont let anyone spell awesome correctly……
@mother earth
Bit late, but have been meaning to say….I second that emotion…I think you would make a good whatsit..you know the guest….site stuff …you know be stacy for a day thingy…why not you seem a lot saner than most…anyway you got my vote.
@Max
I still think the proposed budgets reflect the entaglement with banks, loans and therefore copyright protection. PMF projects should be cheaper, or have a section called ‘Pirate my Production Company’ and ‘Pirate My Floodlight’
Also, how do you protect people who’s pitches are stolen and copyrighted by industry types reading the pmf site? If you can’t reveal the awsomeness of your plot how can you attract participants? Are there private pitches, and how do you protect those from being stolen?
Max
The only fringe party to do well was the BNP. I think they have the market there. Nick understands just how & where to place his party………going after VERY upset Ex Labour voters.
Will the BNP get any Seats?……….
Silly little Scallywag party like this is just a waste of time & effort, only people who vote for them are a few Stoned Hippy Scumbags who want EVERYTHING for FREE!
I like to ask you, if your just made a great movie like “Star Trek”……….How would you feel if 5 mins after you released it some Bozo in Russia started GIVING away your Work for nothing!!!!!
Think you get funding for the next Film????

(In Homer Simpson voice) Woohoo!!
@Mother Earth
That is why its called Pirate My Film.
If you ‘steal’ my idea and do it better, then good on you!
The best pirates in ‘olden days’ were the ones who waited for ‘Pirate A’ to pillage and steal from the government ships. Then, the clever pirate would move in and easily beat the wounded victors.
Now THAT is true competition, productivity and growth.
All my favorite words, especially spoken from the lips of a politician.
@Mini US
But as long as the mainstream film industry exist pmf would be no more than an concept incubator, which would not kick ass. I’m just curious what the thinking is regarding that risk..
@Supergeek
I must admit in terms of finance I’m not that groovy and I’d rather be Max, just to give his cerebral arteries a break for a while and find out what wine he’s hiding under all that gold..
I think copyright, piracy…downloading movies etc is when of the most fertile areas of potential/ possibility existing right now….so any seeds have a real potential to take root and grow…and grow.
We do need an alternative to “New Labour Tories Party” – all the same party anyway.
The trouble is Mike/Liverpool is kinda right because not enough sheeple will get behind Pirate Party. This is because sheeple generally don’t relate copyright legislations etc to the theft of our own human rights/liberties, for example id cards, patenting to restrict development, folk lore etc. The way things are going why shouldn’t a phama copyright my genes?
But I’ve always had a “wasted vote” because I always voted Green (even back when it had a proper name the “Ecology Party”). That will never stop me voting on principle. The idea that I must vote for an opposition party because my party won’t win is cazy to me. It’s becuase sheeple do that that we are in this mess.

Mike:
If a russian production company could do in 5 minutes what you had just taken months to complete then they would deserve the reward for they would have raised the game and competed like no one ever did before. But that is nothing to fear. In the online world you must innovate always. Every idea, every storyline must be unique, difficult to reverse engineer and yet be startling in its simplicity. The copycats – with nothing new to offer – will always be but a pale imitation.
There are plenty of examples where the PMF model succeeds – the one thing lacking has been a coherent back engine to simplify the process, and an interface dedicated to providing the data to clarify the process. Now PMF can begin to provide that albeit in beta form.
Monty Pythons YouTube channel being the best example of the general philosophy. They made 100000′s percent sales increase by giving material away for free. I have not as yet seen any Russian versions or copies of Python. It has not been considered a major problem. It might even be welcomed as an added injection of PR – not to mention humour.
All feedback is free much appreciated.
Who is this stoned hippy scumbag anyway, Prince Harry ?

This is my point.
The internet could be the purest form of competition ever.
If someone is better at the movie, or the marketing or the merchandising.
You lose.
There is a massive market, so maybe if you diversify into languages instead of just english you may have an advantage.
On a WWW basis you don’t need to get a lousy 1 million watching, you could have 50 million.
But you gotta be good.
At the moment commercial TV in Australia and I believe the rest of the world is just wallpaper. Filler for the tired mind at the end of a day in the factory.
Thats why I spend my time here.
There exists INFORMATION here.
Does everyone have an appetite for information?
No way, quite the oppsosite. But they will.
The next most popluar internet websites will be survival ones.
e.g. ‘How to skin a deer’, sorry, forgotten your name.
How to dig a water hole, etc.
The winners will be those who predict where the need will lie, i.e. Max and the Casino bubble idea.
Make little survival videos, either practical or financial.
I’ll be watching for sure.
If you put a high quality product in the shops quickly and cheaply the pirates wouldn’t stand a chance…and who knows maybe even someone like me would be prepared to give some money to the us and those ego driven, coke snorting, depressed, talentless whining hollywood millionaires….not.

Maybe you should start a charity with all that cash……..like the big boys…….
(This is from 2005)
“The Bilderberg Association is a registered charity and therefore is not liable to income tax
or capital gains tax on income or gains derived from its charitable activities, as they fall
within the various exemptions available to registered charities .”
Good news because….
“The Association received donations of,GBP25,000 each from Goldman Sachs and BPAmoco,
and contributed Euro23,000 (approximately GBP16,000) to Bilderberg meetings.”
From here….

China: An 80-85% drop in the accumulation of international reserves compared to last year..
“China invested very little of its newly accumulated international reserves, about $122 billion, in US treasuries in May and June – just over 10 percent, contrasting sharply with the 60 percent to 70 percent figures seen in recent years, according to Tony Crescenzi, senior vice president, strategist and portfolio manager of PIMCO, a leading investment management firm. The recent pattern suggests China hastened its effort to diversify its international reserves,” Crescenzi said.”

Also, just wondering….
We are assuming everyone will be able to afford internet in the future to sell out Pirate Films. Or even have computers.
See episode of Simpsons where ‘The Internet’ goes down and people travel many miles to internet refugee camps where there is one computer with dial up connection and they get 5 minutes/month – Then it keeps crashing.

Looks like Warren Buffett can see a big future in ETS, Carbon Trading, etc. and can’t wait to get his mits on it.

YES!
this is what the anti-globalization movement was/is supposed to be. IP laws are the lynch pin issue. Before the public domain can be reclaimed from the energy, pharmaceutical, military, agricultural monopolists it must be reclaimed from the copyright cartel.
We need room to think. This free space to conceive and communicate ideas has been infected with toll booths and propaganda.
Although this sound great: 1. The reform of Copyright and Patent Laws 2. The protection of our Right to Privacy 3. The protection of our Right to Freedom of Speech ‘
I’m really turned off by the statement; It says it will remain neutral on all other issues outside of these three concerns.
So the banksters may still steal our money? the military industrial complex may still kill people for profits? Monsanto/other biotech companies can still poison our foods?
and so on…
What kind of political party says; neutral on issues outside this.
Might as well not started an POLITICAL party, i totally agree that copyrights restricts humanity. That freedom of speech should be protected and our privacy too, but that’s not all that has to be done… Big Big turn off, was almost convinced to actually vote/stand behind an political party.
The pirate party can have power if enough people vote for them, yet again why would anyone vote for an party that limits itself to 3 issues. Max for EU central bank president!
Anyone on the hyperinflation argument -
I have listened to Marc Faber and many others talk about ‘hyperinflation’ coming because of all the printed money. It’s not getting out of the banks though. They are keeping it because they need to improve their balance sheets. So, I’m not sure there’ll be hyper-inflation in the real economy.
Perhaps it may come from overseas bond-holders selling and then getting out and then buying foreign currency. That total is around 3-4 trillion, no? Can that me ‘mopped up’ with interest rate hikes?
The problem with this is that the ordinary taxpayer can’t afford these hikes and who are actually being starved of cash.
So, are we not looking at a devaluation rather than hyperinflation?
German Weimar Republic in the early 1920s and the U.S. – Troubling similarities
There’s a possibility of something similar (but not as severe) happening in the U.S. – we’d rather at least mention it than not.

@AM
Join the Pirate Party and try to steer its bow into the right direction! I agree with you. I think that a true pirate party should be a breeding place of ideas on (m)any issues and have the liberty to put those ideas forward into the commons and interact in the pirating of those ideas.
@Max & Jan
Thanks for the support! We have no time to waste.

George Soros interview to answer your question about mopping:

@BlackDouglas:
My question: What happens to the currency if the Fed is declared insolvent due to an audit?
Hyperinflation happens when money vectors rapidly through the real economy.
But a dollar devaluation would produce the same results.
The FDIC will be doing more than the Fed anyway with bank closures and guaranteed deposits. The money does not exist in a fund; the Treasury market is dead; so won’t the aide given to depositers be inflationary? (Fed will be printing money) Looks like a bonanza of bank closures are looming with the commercial real estate collapse.
The Fed won’t buy any more treasuries after October (above board anyway):

Consumer panic or currency devaluation?
“The story is told that after he had been deported to Italy, Lucky Luciano granted an interview in which he described a visit to the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. When the operations of floor specialists had been explained to him, he said, ‘A terrible thing happened. I realized I’d joined the wrong mob’” (1Ney, 8).
@Black Douglas
Good questions one and all.
I just watched the Soros I/V which then led me to watch similar I/V’s with Buffett, Branson, etc.
The general consensus seems to be……
Aaaaaaraggghhhhhhh!!!!
1. Deflation – Current
This is so the wealthy can buy up cheap assets. ie China stockpile. Commodities may not seem so cheap now but wait a year or two, look back and you will see.
2. Some sort of $US collapse gradual or sudden(its already happening)
3.Call it what you like Inflation/Hyperinflation/Stagflation. They all have the word ‘flation’ in them. That is prices going up.
Peter Schiff describes it as Hyperinflation during a depression. Sounds bad huh?
Warren Buffett says “We will get through it as we have in the past”.
Sure Warren, can I come for dinner at your place while all this is going on?
@Mini:
Warren Buffet…what’s his real name?
“The dollar’s destiny lies with Congress.”
Last sentence of Warren’s op-ed essay. Is Buffet trying to scapegoat Congress by laying the blame for a collapse dollar at their door?
Any chance the Pirate Party will come to the States?
Yes, I know that’s a silly question. But then again, in this Global Depression (send a memo to Geithner and Bernanke re: this), you need all the comedy you can get.
