Pirate Party Declaration of Principles/2.0/Summary

by Pirate Party Sweden

Summary

Current IP law leads directly to monopolies, a non-functional market, the suppression of democratic values and the obstruction of cultural expressions and innovation. The data rentention act leads to restricted freedoms and a breakdown of the rule of law.

Demanding a correction of these wrongs is to demand justice, freedom and democracy for all citizens. We demand a revised and modern form of IP law firmly founded on the principle of enrichment of society. We demand a healthy climate for entrepreneurs. We demand a creative commons of knowledge and culture, promoting the enrichment of all. We demand better protection for citizens' rights to their own information.

We seek a clear mandate from the people to address the issues declared herein, but no others.
