print versionRuNet is talking about creating the next Pirate Party. Social network "Vkontakte" became a “tongue” of the virtual movement, for the pirate community appeared on its pages - http://pirateparty.vkontakte.ru/.
Participants of the "pirate" group (at the time of writing the article - almost 4,000 people) are extensively discussing the "code of honor”, looking for activists who are ready to engage in the future party affairs and other issues. One of the issues is Alexander Аkopov’s (“Amedia” head) statement on "piracy” of Vkontakte.ru and 30 million of the social network criminal users. Akopov announced his intention to deal with the administration of the resource.
State Duma deputy Konstantin Rykov and his support team, are among the pirate team management. It is worth mentioning, that Rykov had long claimed on the harmfulness of the current struggle with the spread of counterfeit.
Rykov’s newspaper "Vzglyad" supported "Vkontakte", calling the statements of "Amedia" an "incorrect self-praise."
"Akopov is strongly wrong, calling the criminals 30 million users. He apparently did not understand that insulted his loyal fans. Because only the ones who love "Amedia" TV series want to have them on their pages and share them with friends. And now, if I were in the users’ shoes, I would sue "Amedia" for insult ", - said Konstantin Rykov.
Community, by the way, seems to be preparing lawsuits - though not the fact, they will dare to reach the court.
At the moment, pirate activists’ actions are limited to an endless stream of emotional messages to Twitter, communication within the "Vkontakte" group, and press statements. It is not clearly understood, what the community is protesting against, and what principles and ideas they advocate.
We remind that the Pirate Party of Russia has existed since 2006 and is the official founding member of the international movement of Pirate Parties International (PPI).
