Software Patents' Not DeadSoftware Patents' Not DeadPosted Mar 15, 2009 16:42 UTC (Sun) by job (guest, #670)Parent article: Interview: Ciaran O'Riordan of End Software Patents
It's great to put the spotlight on software patents and the people who keep working against them. Sooner or later software patents will rear its ugly head again. In the meantime organisations such as EFF and FSF(E) needs our support!
Here in Sweden the upcoming European Parliament election will feature no less than two tireless software patent activists (for v and pp). This fight needs to be fought on all fronts, so make sure you know where your parliament candidate stands.

Who's the anti-swpat candidate running for PP?
Erik Josefsson getting elected (with V) would really help sensible tech law policy in the EU.

Christian Engström. They enjoy a wide support among very young people (some too young to vote), but with the torrent page trial it's not entirely unrealistic that they may get enough votes to get him in. I just hope the fact that these two digital rights activists run for what some may consider controversial parties does not harm sympathizers elsewhere.
