The other day, I asked Christian Engström, a Swede who just this week was elected to the European Parliament, why his political party called themselves the Pirate Party. After all, his party doesn't actually advocate wanton lawbreaking, file-sharing or keel-hauling – but rather consumer rights and intellectual property reform. Why not just call it the Patent Law Abolition Party?“Because if that had been the name, you wouldn't be talking to me,” Mr. Engström said.
