Digital natives vote for pirate parties

Now an entire generation is growing as digital natives and soon all people will be geeks, said Andrew Robinson, leader the UK's Pirate Party.

He added that politicians will soon have to choose between the interests of corporations that fight for their copyrights and the interests of file-sharers.

These days all over Europe, political 'pirate parties' have been raising their mainsails and campaigning for votes.

They are inspired by the controversial Swedish file sharing site, The Pirate Bay, and are proving hugely popular with young voters.
