For now, the Pirate Party organiser in France do not wish to go out of their anonymity, so it's a big no for me until the situation changes.

I hope it changes soon. One of the things we have had  success with in Sweden is building a positive identity as pirates. We wear clothes with the print Pirat, pirate flags and similar items. And we use our own names when arguing for our politics. The simple point is that there is a million file-sharers (pirates) in Sweden alone and if we refuse to be scared, if we proclaim ourselves as pirates and proud, we become a political force. A lot of this work has been prepared by Piratbyrån that since 2003 has been propagating for the right of filesharers.

The french pirates needs to say "we are here, we are proud and we are Pirates".

We have shifted a lot of Swedish parties in the questions regarding filesharing. When it comes to surveilliance we have not been as succesfull, but we have shifted some minor parties to a more radical stance in defense of privacy.
