Hello, fellow pirates,

I think it is generally agreed that in order to fight international lobbies in the legal arena it is necessary to have a good picture of the legal subtleties of the various national legal context. Therefore, here is a message that was posted on the hackerspaces.org mailing list

On the Free Culture Forum this year the idea sprung to make a database
of Digital Rights information per country. Out of this people from
amongst others immi.is and the piratpartiet.se setup
http://www.diriwa.org/ A wiki where people can add information on
countries and organisations they are knowledgeable about.

It is not the first time such a database is being done and I think I already saw similar initiatives but to my knowledge, none of them ever reached the threshold of usability. Let's merge them together this week end !

Spread the word, a 48h legalese wiki-thon this week end will aim at finally making this complete database that international activists need. For that we need to have people from many countries helping, we need to find these informations for every country :
http://www.diriwa.org/wiki/CountryTemplate

Some of them will be available at public english sources like wikipedia or http://www.statewatch.org/index.php# but insightful remarks about politicians position often require an inside point-of view.

Let's do it as a christmas present to the pirate parties and digital rights activists of the world !

Iv
