---- Partido Pirata Português ----

Manifesto (por enquanto)...

O Partido Pirata surgiu como um colectivo que visa fazer mudanças nas leis de direitos de autor e no sistema de patentes. O objectivo é o de tornar sagrado o direito de qualquer pessoa em partilhar cultura com seus semelhantes. Entendemos que partilhar é um acto nobre por si mesmo - ele faz do cidadão uma pessoa digna, confiável e responsável. Vemos isso como um dos fundamentos de nossas liberdades individuais. Vemos também que as leis que regem a “propriedade intelectual” - termo contraditório em si mesmo - perderam a sua função original, ao contrário de permitir o partilhar da nossa cultura com os nossos semelhantes, servem para defender interesses económicos de intermediários da cultura e do conhecimento. Assim criou-se um sistema abusivo à natureza das coisas que permite monopolizar as ideias e criações humanas, sendo assim profundamente danoso à sociedade como um todo. Com os meios digitais, a única forma de impedir que violações aos direitos de “propriedade intelectual” é controlando as comunicações entre os cidadãos. A privacidade e a liberdade de expressão dos cidadãos são direitos humanos, assim como também são o direito à educação e a comunicação. Estes devem prevalecer contra qualquer direito de fundo económico, sobretudo privado.
A nossa posição é firme e clara: partilhar cultura não é crime. Nenhum cidadão pode ser considerado criminoso só porque teve acesso a um bem cultural por meio de partilha.

Por que somos contra a vigilância?

O controlo sobre a Internet coloca em risco os direitos humanos como privacidade, liberdade de expressão, direito à comunicação e inclusive o direito ao acesso à educação. Além disso, pode transformar a nossa sociedade num estado policial, de vigilância permanente. Entendemos que os cidadãos também não devem ser tratados como suspeitos - o anonimato deve ser encarado como um direito, como uma defesa pessoal contra abusos legais. O registo e o controlo inibem a actuação dos cidadãos e a liberdade de expressão. As ameaças à privacidade podem colocar em risco a segurança de jornalistas, militantes de movimentos sociais e activista dos direitos humanos, além de expôs-las a chantagens e outros tipos de pressões.
Experiências de controlo e de monitorização sobre as comunicações dos cidadãos são típicas de países autoritários e regimes repressivos. Em geral, por trás de argumentos como o da necessidade de combate ao terrorismo ou defesa de segurança, existem interesses económicos. Governos e corporações usam o medo para convencer a população a viver sobre tais controlos. O Partido Pirata entende que os princípios consagrados na Declaração de Direitos Humanos são inegociáveis.

Por que é que o Partido Pirata defende a transparência no governo?

Defendemos a transparência na administração pública e o acesso à informação sobre o governo para todos os cidadãos. Isso por uma razão simples: todos os actos públicos devem ser, de facto, actos públicos. É um direito do cidadão ter controlos sobre a gestão pública. A corrupção, os desmandos e os vícios de todo tipo surgem onde não há transparência e imperam em meio ao segredo e a desinformação.

Por que “Partido”?

Não é nossa preocupação ser um partido. Isso pode vir ou não a acontecer. A nossa preocupação é defender o partilhar na sociedade.
A ideia de um Partido Pirata é justamente a de ser um “anti-partido”. Procuramos a participação de todos e não apenas de uma “parte” - e de forma não-hierárquica e participativa.
Para algumas pessoas a palavra “partido” pode incomodar. No entanto, sendo “pirata” podemos incomodar mais, fazer as pessoas pensarem que é possível fazer política de forma diferente, alegre; com seriedade e crítica ao mesmo tempo que esperançosa.

Por que “Pirata”?

Historicamente, o termo “pirata” tem vindo a ser deturpado e associado a criminosos e assassinos inescrupulosos. Hoje em dia é utilizado para denominar falsificadores e vendedores ilegais, assim como é utilizado para denominar quem usa a Internet para partilhar um filme ou uma música. Mas o “pirata” significa também “livre”, algo fora do convencional, que parece com algo sem ser aquilo. O curioso é que as crianças gostam tanto de piratas, mas os adultos os comparam com assassinos sanguinários. As crianças também gostam de partilhar e são alegres, enquanto os adultos vão ficando egoístas e vão perdendo o bom humor.
Talvez o nosso pirata esteja mais próximo dos sonhos das crianças do que do pesadelos dos adultos…
Na história da pirataria no Caribe, os navios piratas não aceitavam escravos. Nas suas tripulações existiam negros livres, índios e pessoas de todas nacionalidades. Os piratas eram amigos dos índios e das comunidades de cimarrons (negros fugidos), assim podiam viver muitos anos no mar, descansando na costa e fazendo trocas de víveres e bens. Foram os amigos índios que ensinaram os piratas a pitar um cachimbo (aliás, o tabaco veio da América).
Os espanhóis, por exemplo, roubavam os índios e escravizavam-os. Cheios de produto de roubo, os seus barcos pesados eram movidos pela força das remadas dos escravos, que viviam nas galés. Por isso, um ataque pirata era a esperança de liberdade na galera.
Os piratas não faziam comércio, pois não havia meios de operar em dinheiro ou moedas de ouro ou prata. Os piratas faziam o escambo, que significa troca. De fato, os piratas faziam circular as riquezas saqueadas das Américas quebrando o monopólio colónia-metrópole.
Gente do povo, amigo dos índios e dos escravos, corajosos e livres: assim vemos os piratas.
“Quando alguém chamar um camelô de pirata, você pode falar: “Pirata o escambau!” E escambau vem de escambo!” http://www.forum-global.de/jm/art06-07/pirataria_legitima.html

Qual é a origem do termo “pirata”?

A origem da palavra pirata está no grego peiratés (????????), que vem do verbo peiraoo (??????), que significa “esforçar-se”, “tratar de”, “aventurar-se”. O termo peiraoo também está relacionado com apeiratos que significa “experimentado”.
(citation needed. Onde você viu isso? http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=pirate&searchmode=none)

O que é “Pirataria”?

Atualmente, esse termo é usado erroneamente pela imprensa e pelos interesses privados para designar os falsificadores de produtos, aqueles que vendem um produto se passando por outro. Esse termo está a ser usado com o sentido de “roubar” quando na verdade o termo está ligado a “compartilhar” ou fazer o “escambo”. Esse termo está ligado mais ao “libertar” e ao “distribuir”.
Para os média, compartilhar é “pirataria”. Se faço 10 cópias de um filme que eu gostei e mando pelo correio para os meus amigos, isso é “crime”, isso é “roubar”. Para os média, “compartilhar” é igual a “roubar”. Para nós, “compartilhar” não é “roubar”, e pirataria é compartilhar!

Quem faz parte do Partido Pirata?

Pode-se dizer que se você é generoso e partilha alguma coisa, você partilha dos ideais do Partido Pirata. Esse é o principal fac tor que nos une. Para garantir o nosso direito de compartilhar e ser livres, pretendemos mudar as leis e, em última instância, a própria sociedade.
Mas quais seriam as novas leis de direitos de autor?
Nós enxergamos o Autor não como “dono” e sim como “criador”, e porque não, “co-criador” da “sua” obra. A lei deve se adequar as novas de produção e difusão do conhecimento. Os usos não-comerciais deveriam ser definitivamente liberados. Isso resolveria também o problema das obras esgotadas, órfãs ou de acervos não digitais que correm o risco de desaparecer pela ação do tempo.

Eu sou do movimento pela “libertação dos canários”. Vocês apoiam-me?

Para nos mantermos um movimento coeso e forte, iremos apenas apoiar, defender e fazer valer ideias que se relacionam de alguma forma directa com a nossa ideologia. Tente convencer-nos que sua causa é nobre e merece nosso apoio.

Defender a descriminalização da pirataria é legal?

Trata-se de defender uma mudança na legislação. Se todos os que defendem uma mudança na legislação fossem presos, teríamos o Poder legislativo e uma boa parte da população que tem alguma visão crítica na cadeia. Teriam que prender boa parte de Portugal… (o que, dependendo do caso, pode ser uma boa ideia).
A resposta dessa pergunta vai depender do que você entende por pirataria. Se o ponto da questão não é partilhar, mas sim a pirataria dos camelôs, entendemos que esse é um sério problema social. Tais trabalhadores sustentam as suas famílias em condições precárias de trabalho e sob o risco constante de perder sua mercadoria. Como um problema social, não deve ser tratado de forma policial, senão que através de políticas que incluam essa população em condições mais dignas e favoráveis na sociedade.
Entendemos que a pirataria de rua é reflexo das condições de pobreza do país, da falta de acesso a bens culturais e de consumo. Também entendemos que se o governo quisesse mudar a situação não ia ficar reprimindo os pobres trabalhadores das ruas, senão que iria atrás das máfias que conseguem enganar ou subornar funcionários públicos de aduanas, aeroportos, policiais rodoviários, militares, políticos e o que mais estiver no caminho.
Boa parte dos produtos de rua são produzidos na China, país que viola sistematicamente os direitos humanos, que censura a Internet, que não respeita direitos trabalhistas, que se utiliza de mão de obra infantil ou semi-escrava. Além disso, a China invadiu o Tibete e lá instalou uma tirania. Por que o governo não toma uma medida contra esse país? Por que essa hipocresia?

Interesses comerciais, é claro. E o Paraguai, então?

A pirataria de rua é a ponta de uma longa cadeia de injustiças em nossa sociedade. Nosso foco é o coletivo, por isso defendemos a dignidade das pessoas. Entendemos que não podemos analisar essa situação sem entender o conjunto de factos que a ela estão associados.

O Partido Pirata é a favor da falsificação de produtos?

O partido Pirata entende que a falsificação de produtos prejudica os cidadãos. Ela é a tentativa de réplica de um produto usando características do original como a marca e a aparência. Nós entendemos que isso não oferece uma protecção ao cidadão quanto a origem e a qualidade do produto.
Ao invés da falsificação, defendemos a liberdade de criação de novos produtos legítimos. Uma forma disso ocorrer é através de uma profunda mudança no sistema de patentes, liberando a inovação e a criação na sociedade. Isso desconcentraria o mercado e geraria oportunidades para toda a sociedade. O sistema obra pela concentração e as corporações usam seu poder económico para convencer as pessoas a comprarem seus mesmos produtos, que tentam vender pelo valor mais alto possível e de forma exclusiva.
O ideal para a sociedade não é a criação de monopólios. Por isso, as inovações deveriam ser produzidas por diferentes produtores que competiriam entre si para atender as necessidades das pessoas, gerando assim múltiplas cadeias de inovação.
Falsificar é enganar, não é criar nada. É melhor ser honesto e dizer: “isso é uma cópia”, ou melhor ainda, fazer algo melhor que o original.
Associamos pirataria é compartilhamento de alguma forma. Para isso pode sim haver reprodução, mas não falsificação.

O que o software livre tem a ver com o Partido Pirata?

Defendemos o acesso à informação, a inovação, a transmissão do conhecimento, o fim dos monopólios e a independência tecnológica.

Little chronology of the lawsuit on the Pirate Bay - (According to her side of the story)

Learn how to suport Pirate Bay

What happened

Frederik Neij, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Carl Lundstrom and Peter Sunde were found guilty of breaking copyright law and were sentenced to a year in jail. They were also ordered to pay $4.5m (£3m) in damages. Record companies welcomed the verdict but the men are to appeal and Sunde said they would refuse to pay the fine. Speaking at an online press conference, he described the verdict as "bizarre". "It's serious to actually be found guilty and get jail time. It's really serious. And that's a bit weird," Sunde said. "It's so bizarre that we were convicted at all and it's even more bizarre that we were [convicted] as a team. The court said we were organized. I can't get Gottfrid out of bed in the morning. If you're going to convict us, convict us of disorganize crime. "We can't pay and we wouldn't pay. Even if I had the money I would rather burn everything I owned, and I wouldn't even give them the ashes."

It is almost certain that The Pirate Bay will keep on sailing, long after today's court judgment

Read more at the dot.life blog Q&A: Pirate Bay verdict Send us your comments The damages were awarded to a number of entertainment companies, including Warner Bros, Sony Music Entertainment, EMI, and Columbia Pictures. However, the total awarded fell short of the $17.5m in damages and interest the firms were seeking. Speaking to the BBC, the chairman of industry body the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) John Kennedy said the verdict sent out a clear message. "These guys weren't making a principled stand, they were out to line their own pockets. There was nothing meritorious about their behaviour, it was reprehensible. "The Pirate Bay did immense harm and the damages awarded doesn't even get close to compensation, but we never claimed it did. "There has been a perception that piracy is OK and that the music industry should just have to accept it. This verdict will change that," he said.

The Pirate Bay's first server is now a museum exhibit in Stockholm The four men denied the charges throughout the trial, saying that because they did not actually host any files, they were not doing anything wrong. Speaking on Swedish Radio, assistant judge Klarius explained how the court reached its findings. "The court first tried whether there was any question of breach of copyright by the file-sharing application and that has been proved, that the offence was committed. "The court then moved on to look at those who acted as a team to operate the Pirate Bay file-sharing service, and the court found that they knew that material which was protected by copyright but continued to operate the service," he said. A lawyer for Carl Lundstrom, Per Samuelson, told journalists he was shocked by the guilty verdict and the severity of the sentence. "That's outrageous, in my point of view. Of course we will appeal," he was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency. "This is the first word, not the last. The last word will be ours." Political issue Rickard Falkvinge, leader of The Pirate Party - which is trying to reform laws around copyright and patents in the digital age - told the BBC that the verdict was "a gross injustice". "This wasn't a criminal trial, it was a political trial. It is just gross beyond description that you can jail four people for providing infrastructure.

Mark Mulligan from Forrester Research says what was different about Pirate Bay

"There is a lot of anger in Sweden right now. File-sharing is an institution here and while I can't encourage people to break copyright law, I'm not following it and I don't agree with it. "Today's events make file-sharing a hot political issue and we're going to take this to the European Parliament." The Pirate Bay is the world's most high profile file-sharing website and was set up in 2003 by anti-copyright organization Piratbyran, but for the last five years it has been run by individuals. Millions of files are exchanged using the service every day. No copyright content is hosted on The Pirate Bay's web servers; instead the site hosts "torrent" links to TV, film and music files held on its users' computers.

WE'RE ALL THE PIRATE BAY

 

The Swedish artist Montt Mardié thought The Pirate Bay needed an theme song, an anthem. So he created one! We like it a lot and hope you like it too. You can download the torrent here, and watch the video as well.We also got the audio files so all you TPB fans can make your own version, your own remix!It would also be cool if you did your own version of the video and post as a video response on youtube. As Montt Mardié put it: "To show the world, that we're all The Pirate Bay..."

Here's Monty's coments about it all:

An artist has got to make a living just like everybody else, there's no doubt about it. And these are tough times, believe me I know. The thing is though, if I were to go back in time, 10 years or so, and tell the 15-year-old version of myself that over a night, 60 000 people had heard one of my songs, the first question I'd throw back at myself wouldn't be "how much money did I make?".Don't get me wrong, I love money and I want to make a lot of it. Bathe in it just like Uncle Scrooge. But money isn't the main reason why I write songs. First and foremost I want people to hear them.Times are so strange at the moment and a lot of people are angry and upset. Still, for each day that goes by I get more and more convinced that we shouldn't try to fight the future, we should embrace it. Try to see opportunities instead of catastrophys.I've written a song. I call it "We're All The Pirate Bay". It's free and nobody will ever have to pay for it, though if you incist you are welcome to make a donation!

Take care, Monty

Pirate Party

Pirate Party Declaration of Principles 3.2

Introduction
We wish to change global legislation to facilitate the emerging information society, which is characterized by diversity and openness. We do this by requiring an increased level of respect for the citizens and their right to privacy, as well as reforms to copyright and patent law.

The three core beliefs of the Pirate Party are the need for protection of citizen's rights, the will to free our culture, and the insight that patents and private monopolies are damaging to society.

Ours is a control and surveillance society where practically everyone is registered and watched. It is counterproductive to a modern judicial state to impose surveillance on all its citizens, thereby treating them as suspects. Democracy pre-supposes a strong protection for citizen's rights.

Copyright was created to benefit society in order to encourage acts of creation, development and spreading of cultural expressions. In order to achieve these goals, we need a balance between common demands of availability and distribution on the one hand, and the demands of the creator to be recognized and remunerated on the other. We claim that today's copyright system unbalanced. A society where cultural expressions and knowledge is free for all on equal terms benefits the whole of the society. We claim that widespread and systematic abuses of today’s copyrights are actively counter-productive to these purposes by limiting both the creation of, and access to, cultural expressions.
Privatized monopolies are one of society’s worst enemies, as they lead to price-hikes and large hidden costs for citizens. Patents are officially sanctioned monopolies on ideas. Large corporations diligently race to hold patents they can use against smaller competitors to prevent them from competing on equal terms. A monopolistic goal is not to adjust prices and terms to what the market will bear, but rather use their ill-gotten rights as a lever to raise prices and set lopsided terms on usage and licensing. We want to limit the opportunities to create damaging and unnecessary monopoly situations.
Trademarks are primarily useful as consumer protection devices. We feel trademarks mostly work fine today, and do not suggest any changes here.

Democracy, Citizens’ Rights and Personal Freedoms

The citizen's right to privacy is written in the Swedish constitution. From this fundamental right springs several other basic human rights like the rights to free speech, freedom of opinion, to obtain information as well as the right to culture and personal development. All attempts by the state to curtail these rights must be questioned and met with powerful opposition.

All powers, systems and methods that the state can use against its citizens must be under constant evaluation and scrutiny by elected officials. When the government uses surveillance powers against regular citizens who are not suspected of any crime, it is a fundamentally unacceptable and clear violation of the citizen's right to privacy.

Each citizen must be guaranteed the right to anonymity which is inherent to our constitution and the right of the individual to control all use of his or her personal data must be strengthened.
The Pirate Party takes a stand against special legislation for terror-related crimes.
The penalties and criminal codes that are already in place for actions that harm or threaten Swedish citizens or their property are sufficient. Today's anti-terror laws nullify due process of law, and risk being used as a repressive tool against immigrants and dissidents.

The government must respect the constitution not just in saying, but in practice.
Respect for the citizens and their privacy shall mean that principles like prohibition of torture, integrity of lawmaking, due process of law, messenger immunity, and the postal secret are not negotiable. The Pirate Party shall and will act to expose and bring down an administration that the party considers doesn’t respect human rights, as expected from a western democracy.

Translator’s Note: the Swedish constitution includes a hard reference to the European Convention on Human Rights, which is therefore included in the constitution. / Some countries have a name for messenger immunity akin to the term “Common Carrier Principle”. It refers to the fact that the messenger is never legally responsible for the contents of a carried message.

The postal secrets act shall be elevated to a general communications secrets act. Just as it is prohibited to read someone else's mail today, it shall be forbidden to read or access e-mail, SMS or other forms of messages, regardless of the underlying technology or who the operator may be. Any and all exceptions from this rule must be well-motivated in each and every case. Employers shall only be allowed to access an employee's messages if this is absolutely necessary to secure the technical functionality or in direct connection with the employee's work-related duties. The government shall only be allowed access to a citizen's means of communication or put a citizen under surveillance in the case of a firm suspicion of a crime being committed by said citizen. In all other cases, the government shall assume its citizens to be innocent and leave them alone. This communications secrets act must be given a strong legal protection, as the government has repeatedly shown that it is not to be entrusted with sensitive information.

We want to repeal the Data Retention Directive and strengthen the citizens’ right to privacy.

- The Pirate Party has no opinion on whether Sweden should or should not be a member of the European Union, but now that we are, we have a right to demand that the union is governed by democratic principles. The democratic shortage in the Union must be addressed in the long term, and the first step is to prevent it from being set in stone through a bad constitution. The proposed European Union constitution that France and the Netherlands voted against shall not be accepted, neither in its original form nor with cosmetic changes.

Decision-making and governmental administration in both Sweden and the European Union shall be characterized by transparency and openness. Swedish representatives in the EU shall act to bring the Union closer to the Swedish principle of public access to records.

Translator’s Note: The Swedish principle of public access to records – “offentlighetsprincipen” – means that anybody has the right to request any document from any part of the administration, without identifying themselves. While documents may be explicitly classified and thus exempted from this principle, such a secrecy stamp must be justified by strict and rarely applicable criteria, and can be appealed by the public. To illustrate the strength of this principle, minors can view video material censored by the Cinema Administration Board, as long as they show up at the board’s offices. Remember, the board is prohibited from asking for identification or similar proof of age.

Foundations of democracy shall be protected, both in Sweden and in the EU.
Free Our Culture
When copyrights were originally created, they only regulated the right of a creator to be recognized as the creator. It has later been expanded to cover commercial copying of works as well as also limiting the natural rights of private citizens and non-profit organizations. We say that this shift of balance has prompted an unacceptable development for all of society. Economic and technological developments have pushed copyright laws way out of balance and instead it infers unjust advantages for a few large market players at the expense of consumers, creators and society at large. Millions of classical songs, movies and books are held hostages in the vaults of huge media corps, not wanted enough by their focus groups to re-publish but potentially too profitable to release. We want to free our cultural heritage and make them accessible to all, before time withers away the celluloid of the old movie reels.

Immaterial laws are a way to legislate material properties for immaterial values. Ideas, knowledge and information are by nature non-exclusive and their common value lies in their inherent ability to be shared and spread.

- We say that copyrights need to be restored to their origins. Laws must be altered to regulate only commercial use and copying of protected works. To share copies, or otherwise spread or use works for non-profit uses, must never be illegal since such fair use benefits all of society.

- We want to reform commercial copyrights. The basic notion of copyrights was always to find a fair balance between conflicting commercial interests. Today this balance is lost and needs to be regained.

- We suggest a reduction of commercial copyright protection, i.e. the monopoly to create copies of a work for commercial purposes, to five years from the publication of the work. The rights to make derivative works shall be adjusted so that the basic rule will be freedom for all to make them immediately. Any and all exceptions from this rule, for example, translations of books, or the usage of protected musical scores in movies, shall be explicitly enumerated in the statutes.

We want to create a fair and balanced copyright.
All non-commercial gathering, use, processing and distribution of culture shall be explicitly encouraged. Technologies limiting the consumer's legal rights to copy and use information or culture, so-called DRM, should be banned. In cases where this leads to obvious disadvantages for the consumer, any product containing DRM shall display clear warnings to inform consumers of this fact. Contractual agreements implemented to prevent such legal distribution of information shall be declared null and void. Non-commercial distribution of published culture, information or knowledge – with the clear exception of personal data – must not be limited or punished. As a logical conclusion of this, we want to abolish the blank media tax.

We want to create a cultural commons.
Patents and Private Monopolies Harm Society
Patents have many damaging effects. Pharmaceutical patents are responsible for human deaths in diseases they could have afforded medication for, research priorities are skewed, and unnecessarily high, and rising, cost of medicines in richer parts of the world.
Patents on life and genes, like patented crops, lead to unreasonable and harmful consequences. Software patents retard technological development and constitute a serious threat against Swedish as well as European small- and medium-sized businesses in the IT sector.

Patents are said to encourage innovation by protecting inventors and investors in new inventions and manufacturing methods. In reality, patents are increasingly used by large corporations to hinder smaller companies from competing on equal terms.

Instead of encouraging innovation, patents are being used as "mine fields" when waging war against others, often patents the owner has no plans on developing further themselves.

- We believe patents have become obsolete and that they actively stifle innovation and the creation of new knowledge. Besides, just by looking at all business areas that is not patentable it is clear that patents simply are not needed - the market forces derived from being first-to-market is quite sufficient for fostering innovation.
Inventors should compete fairly with natural advantages like innovative designs, customer benefits, pricing and quality, instead of with a state-awarded monopoly on knowledge. Not having to pay small armies of patent lawyers will free resources that can be used for creating real innovation and improve products at a faster rate, benefiting us all in the end.

We want to abolish patents gradually.
Apart from abusing patents, large corporations attempt to create monopolies by other means. By keeping information on things like file formats and interfaces secret, they try to create vendor lock-in, thereby limiting competition with a blatant disregard for the value of a free and fair market. This practice leads directly to higher prices and a lower rate of innovation. Whenever the publicly funded sector procures information systems or produces information itself, it must actively counteract the formation or continuation of these private monopolies on information, knowledge, ideas, or concepts. Initiatives like Open Access, with the purpose of making results of research freely available, shall be encouraged and supported.

Private monopolies shall be combated.
The public sector shall archive documents and make them publicly available in open formats. It shall be possible to communicate with the government without being tied to a certain private supplier of software. The use of open source in the public sector, including schools, shall be stimulated.
Open formats and open source shall be encouraged.
Closing words
We wish to guard citizen's rights, their right to privacy and basic human rights. When the government routinely put its citizens under surveillance, it invariably leads to abuse of powers, lack of freedoms and injustices. We demand a correction of these injustices. We demand justice, freedom and democracy for the citizens.
Today's copyright and patent laws lead to harmful monopolies, the loss of important democratic values, hinders the creation of culture and knowledge, and prevents them from reaching the citizens. We demand the abolishment of patents and fair and balanced laws of copyrights, rooted in the will of the people, to enrich people's lives, enable a healthy business climate, create a knowledge and cultural commons, and thereby benefiting the development of society as a whole.
Our work with this is now focused on parliamentary means and therefore we seek a mandate from the people to represent them in these issues.

The Pirate Party does not strive to be part of an administration. Our goal is to use a tie breaker position in parliament as leverage, and support an administration that drives the issues in our platform in a satisfactory manner. When they do, we will support that administration on other issues where we choose to not hold opinions of our own.

To unite as a strong movement, we have chosen to not take a stand in any political issues not connected with the principles declared herein.
We stand united around our protection of the right to privacy, our will to reform copyrights, and the need to abolish patents.
