Piratbyrån ("The Pirate Bureau") was a Swedish organization (or think tank) established to support the free sharing of information, culture, and intellectual property. Piratbyrån provided a counterpoint to lobby groups such as the Swedish Anti-Piracy Bureau. In 2005 Piratbyrån released an anthology entitled ''Copy Me'', containing selected texts previously available from its website. Members of Piratbyrån participated in debates on Swedish Radio and Swedish Television and also gave several lectures in other European countries, such as at the 2005 22nd Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin. Piratbyrån's activities might have changed over the years, partly as a result of the addition of the Pirate Party to the Swedish political scene. During Walpurgis Night 2007, Piratbyrån burned all of their remaining copies of ''Copy Me'' in a ritual-like performance, declaring: The file-sharing debate is hereby buried. When we talk about file-sharing from now on it's as one of many ways to copy. We talk about better and worse ways of indexing, archiving and copying—not whether copying is right or wrong. Winter is pouring down the hillside. Make way for spring!〔(Walpurgis ) Piratbyran. Retrieved 16 July 2010.〕 Jonas Andersson, a Swedish researcher specialized in the politics of file-sharing, gave this brief definition in October 2009: Piratbyrån is entirely separate from The Pirate Party; it is more of a loosely organised think-tank, a website, a philosophical greenhouse or FAQ guide to digitization.〔Andersson, Jonas (13 October 2009). (Q&A re Pirate Politics ) ''liquidculture notebook'' (Blog).〕 The MPAA-funded Svenska Antipiratbyrån (Swedish Anti-Piracy Bureau), an agency devoted to fighting pirating of copyrighted material, was formed in 2001, before Piratbyrån. Piratbyrån humorously copied the name of their opponent, removing the "anti".〔Ernesto (23 June 2010). ("Pirate Bay’s Founding Group ‘Piratbyrån’ Disbands" ) Retrieved 23 June 2010.〕 In June 2010 the group disbanded following the death of co-founder and prominent member Ibrahim Botani, also known as Ibi Kopimi Botani.〔 Several former members of Piratbyrån are now involved in Telecomix. The front page of the website was replaced with the three words (Swedish for ''Closed for reflection'').〔http://www.piratbyran.org/〕 ==Self-definition== In 2008 Piratbyrån published a report titled ''Piratbyrån - The Bureau of Piracy Activities 2007'' which starts with the following description of the organisation: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Piratbyrån」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
