No Safe Harbor - First Week Statistics

Woohoo!

No Safe Harbor has received a great deal of attention during its first week! Thank you to everyone who has downloaded, shared, and linked to the book. Over 10,000 downloads and we've only just started!

We're also stoked to see so much interest from around the globe, with the book being downloaded in over 60 countries (Can't ALL be proxies, right?). No hits from Antarctica yet, but we're working on that...

Much to our delight, 67 physical copies of the book have already been ordered from Amazon as of this moment - this is very exciting; No Safe Harbor is a huge milestone for the US Pirate Party and a great deal of work went into ensuring everything was perfect for both the hard copy and the eBook.

If you have reviewed the book, know of a review of the book, or plan to write a review of the book, please submit them to us. We can't wait to hear all of your feedback and include it in the next volume! Oh, yes, there will be more.

We would like to once again thank everyone who contributed to the book; the authors who shared their work, the editors who painstakingly formatted and corrected, the persistent previewers, and all the other individuals who put volunteered their time to make this book a reality.

No Safe Harbor Launch Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Jan 24 2012
The Pirate Party is proud to announce the release of its first book, No Safe Harbor.

No Safe Harbor, released January 24th 2012, is a collection of political essays, texts, and discussions that help explain and educate about Pirate Party positions. While some have been published before, many others are original to the book.

Contributors range from first-time writers being published for the first time, leading academics, to Pirate Party officials, and even international organizations like the United Nations.

Adding color to the book are cartoons by artist and free culture activist Nina Paley, creator of the animated film Sita Sings the Blues.

Topics covered include notes on the 4th Amendment, the history of copyright, biopatents, and corporate personhood.

The book is released under a Creative Commons license (CC-BY-NC-SA) and sharing of it is strongly encouraged. To further that, the book is available in a number of DRM-free formats, free of charge. In addition a paperback edition can be purchased through Amazon.com for $9.99

"For anyone concerned with our rights today, but unsure where to start, this book is an invaluable guide," says Assistant Editor and contributor Andrew Norton. "Education on these very important topics, and their immense potential for harm, has been sadly overlooked in recent years. We felt it was time to correct that."

Further information, including the book and press resources can be downloaded fromwww.nosafeharbor.com
