Piratbyrån - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Piratbyrån ("The Bureau of Piracy") is a Swedish organization (or think tank) established to support the individuals fighting against current ideas about intellectual property by sharing information and culture freely. Piratbyrån itself is not involved in illegal activities, but rather wishes to give another point of view about spreading information than the current lobby groups do.
The Pirate Bay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pirate Bay (often abbreviated TPB) is an Internet site that bills itself as "the world's largest BitTorrent tracker" and also serves as an index for .torrent files that it tracks. ThePirateBay.org is ranked 192 (as of October 6, 2007) in the Alexa ranking list of the world's most-visited internet sites.[1] The Pirate Bay was started by the Swedish anti-copyright organization Piratbyrån ('The Pirate Bureau') in early 2004, but since October 2004 it has been a separate organization.

Pirate Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pirate Party (Swedish: Piratpartiet) is originally a political party in Sweden, which has given rise to groups with similar goals internationally. The party strives to reform laws regarding intellectual property, including copyright, patent and the protection of design. The agenda also includes support for a strengthening of the right to privacy, both on the Internet and in everyday life.
Young Pirate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Young Pirate(Ung Pirat) is the youth organisation of the Swedish Pirate Party. It was started in December 2006.
And there is also (but not on wikipedia yet) Piratbio - Pirate Cinema - that simply shows movies.
And none of the organisations are banned outside Sweden (afaik). There exist Pirate parties in a number of countries, ten or so EU countries, and Pirate Groups (similar to Piratbyrån) in at least Norway and Denmark. My take on it is that if you are young or poor (or both) and have anything (including a t-shirt) packed that can identify you as anti-establishment, freedom of movement does not exist during EU summits. A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!
