Pirate Party is a label adopted by various political parties worlwide, characterized by a set of values and policies focused on civil rights, digital rights, internet freedom, and the promotion of inclusive, unrestricted innovation. At the heart of these positions is the defense of free access to and sharing of knowledge, opposition to intellectual monopolies, and the commitment to a digital governance that fosters direct and participatory democracy, including e-democracy. Pirate parties advocate for reforming copyright and patent laws, aiming to make them more flexible and open in order to foster innovation and creativity while combating monopolists that profit from the restrictions imposed by the patent system. These parties are also strong proponents of free and open-source software, free sharing of content and knowledge, user control over personal data as well as the protection of individual privacy and information security, both online and offline. Furthermore, Pirate parties emphasize open government (transparency), freedom of information, free speech, anti-corruption measures. Defending net neutrality is another key pillar, as is focusing on the protection of digital infrastructure from cyberattacks (cybersecurity). In contrast to many traditional political positions, Pirate parties reject the notion of cyber sovereignty, advocating instead an approach based on the free flow of information and the reduction of digital barriers between countries and reduce the influence of centralized entities. In this context, they promote a collaborative approach, which sees technological innovation as a global common good that should be accessible to all, free from government restrictions or interference from centralized actors, including Big Tech. They are also advocates of decentralized technologies and platforms such as blockchain and peer-to-peer networks, promoting thre idea that online platforms, users, and communities should have more autonomy to set their rules (self-regulation), rather than being subjected to top-down regulations. These parties strongly defend strong encryption and anonymity as essential tools to protect personal data and privacy against mass surveillance, censorship, and the abuse of power by large tech companies. Protecting individual freedom is at the core of their political agenda, seen as a bulwark against the growing power of corporations and governments in controlling information and digital autonomy.
