Russian Pirate Party must change name, contemplates “Pira7e Party”: “A Russian judge has ruled that the Russian Pirate Party has to rename itself, citing a law that prohibits naming a party after criminal acts. The party is now debating what new name it will use for ballots. Options include ‘Unnamed Party’ and ‘Pira7e Party’ and ‘Pirrate Party.’
I would like to conclude with stating that our principles, ideas and our website remain unchanged. I ask the public, journalists and all reasonable people to continue calling us ‘Pirate Party of Russia’
Judge: Pirate Party Name-Ban Decision Stands
