ok - this may be so or not from your definition or goals, but i can't figure 
out what the word / synonymous "pirate" byself has anything to do with "free 
spech". Pirates are peoples far from any law and freedom has nothing to do 
with lawless, as still to many today do interpret freedom.
 This would be even more concret as there are still several political parties 
in different countries named "pirates" byself which have their own political 
program (or not).


>- .free is a cool TLD but it's going to run into conflicts with ICANN

This is potentially the case for all TLDs in any NICs, just a bit more 
potentially for generic word TLDs.

>soon, and the people and sites that are big into the Pirate movement

ok ok, so you talk about a "pirate movement" behind the .pirate TLD?

Can you explain that? I can't see causality there...


>What does .pirate bring to the community?

Which "community", the internet community, the OpenNIC ones, the "pirate 
movement" one? Shure, any TLD could potentially bring new users to OpenNIC...

and btw: I do not feel very comfortable with any TLDs strictly bound to any 
"community" or technical concept - means which are mainly or only accessible 
for members of a community or users of a special IP application as long as 
they occupy any generic namespace or word which is - by my interpretation - 
under the ownership of any peoples on the globe and this is one major reason 
why i contribute to OpenNIC as an alternative to the ICANN.

From my interpretation any OpenNIC TLDs should be accessible to everyone in 
the same manner - independently from any third or third party interests 
behind that. "Typical application" cases publically written to any of the 
TLDs should just give an idea for what the domain could (!) be used for 
ideally, but this should not be any requirement for sl-domain users under it.

Otherwise OpenNIC would run into the same one way as ICANN does it on a 
financial manner.


cheers,


Niels.
