Should creators of download sites be added?

[edit]

Shouldn't people who started downloading sites (oink, piratebay and so on) and people who are members of the pirate party be in this category too? //moralist 14:47, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Activism is usually considered to be political action. Members of the Pirate party, because it advances political positions, would be appropriate, I think. I don't know enough about the people who started downloading sites -- oink, piratebay, etc. -- to say whether they did it as a form of activism out of a principled disagreement with the current state of copyright law, or whether they did it to make money (which is what I had always assumed). If the latter, then I think they would form a poor fit with the rest of the folks in the "Category:Activists" tree. --Lquilter (talk) 15:18, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
