Smart protest

Swedish Pirate-and-civil-rights-blogger (not to mention leader of the Pirate Party) Rick Falkvinge reports on a great form of protest his political party executed this weekend: Each member of the Swedish parlament was sent an opened and taped shut letter, stamped with the words “Inspected by the defense authorities”.

The protest is part of a very energetic campaign on the part of Falkvinge and other prominent Swedish bloggers in response to the upcoming yes/no vote on the so called FRA-law, a law allowing any data, phone calls or -letters- (EDIT: only cable communication) passing through Sweden to be inspected by the government. The law has gotten some attention internationally too. Smart protest
