Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A new poll shows a Swedish party that calls for legalising internet file-sharing could win a seat in the European Parliament in June.
The poll published yesterday in the Stockholm newspaper Dagens Nyheter shows the Pirate Party's backing has surged after a court verdict against The Pirate Bay file-sharing site.
Four men behind The Pirate Bay were convicted this month of copyright violations and sentenced to a year in prison.
The survey of about 1,500 people shows 5.1 per cent of Swedish voters support the Pirate Party. Four per cent is the minimum for a seat in the European Parliament. The error margin was 1.8 percentage points.
The Pirate Party was founded in 2006 with the aim of legalising non-commercial file-sharing of music and films on the internet.
