program
A pirate party sets itself the task of strengthening civil rights and reforming rights to intangible goods, since the real value lies in their exchange . Furthermore, she advocates informational self-determination (data protection and privacy) and direct democracy - be it in the form of referendums or liquid democracy . In the meantime, further political issues are being developed such as B. Education , environmental protection or consumer protection .
The Uppsala Declaration
At the Pirate Parties International 2008 conference in Uppsala , Sweden , the European pirate parties adopted a joint declaration on the program for the 2009 European elections . The main points of the declaration are:
- The reform of copyright law , in particular the legalization of private copies and the shortening of the term of protection in copyright law; Rejection of blanket media or hardware fees and prohibition of DRM technologies;
- Reform of patent law so as not to hinder innovation; Among other things, an EU study on the economic effects of patent law is required;
- Strengthening civil rights through transparency in government work, fast and fair court proceedings, the right to freedom of expression and the right to anonymous communication, including via digital communication channels.
Public perception and criticism
The pirate parties are known to the general public for their advocacy of reforming copyright law , including legalizing the file sharing of private copies. The Pirate Party Germany received a warning about illegal music uploads. Organizations initiated by pirates, such as the Musikpiraten, who organized song books for kindergartens free of charge and for which no license fees have to be paid, were positively received. In Russia, the establishment of a "pirate party" was refused because the judiciary classified such a designation as illegal.
history
The first Pirate Party was the Swedish Piratpartiet that on 1 January 2006 under the leadership of Rick Falkvinge was founded. It got its name from the anti-copyright organization Piratbyrån , which had previously founded the BitTorrent tracker The Pirate Bay . The music and film industry coined the term “pirates” in order to give people who illegally copied content a particularly negative connotation . The pirates deliberately took up this term in order to bring about a re-evaluation in public discourse, to give the term a politically positive connotation and to use it as a so-called Geusen word . Piratpartiet (German: the pirate party ) also coined the names of the other pirate parties that were founded in various countries following the Swedish model. In the German-speaking area, these were shortly afterwards the Austrian Pirate Party (July 2006) and the German Pirate Party (September 2006). In October 2006 the umbrella organization Pirate Parties International was founded. In the German-speaking countries, the Pirate Party Switzerland was finally founded in July 2009 and the Pirate Party Lëtzebuerg in Luxembourg in October 2009 .
The Swedish Pirate Party achieved the first electoral success of a pirate party in the European elections in 2009 ; it initially achieved a parliamentary mandate with 7.1 percent. With the Treaty of Lisbon she won an additional seat. In August 2009, the German Pirate Party won two municipal mandates in Aachen and Münster for the first time . Later, by the beginning of 2013, more than 200 other municipal mandates followed in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Spain. In the election for the Berlin House of Representatives in 2011 , the Berlin Pirate Party achieved 8.9 percent and entered the state parliament. In 2012 they moved into the state parliaments of Saarland , Schleswig-Holstein and North Rhine-Westphalia . In October 2012, Libor Michálek, who was not a party to the party, was elected to a national parliament for the first time, a candidate nominated by the Czech Pirate Party. The Icelandic Píratar succeeded in the Althing election in April 2013 , as the first pirate party with faction strength in a national parliament. From 2014 to 2019, Julia Reda, a pirate, was represented in the European Parliament. 4 pirates from Germany and the Czech Republic have been represented in the European Parliament since 2019.
Historically, the positions represented by the pirate parties go back in part to organizations such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Chaos Computer Club , which represent a hacker ethic that has emerged from the technology-loving hacker culture . According to this, freedom of information and the free exchange of knowledge are very important, and information is not associated with possession or property in view of its immaterial quality. A very important historical text here is the declaration of independence of cyberspace by John Perry Barlow .
International organizations
Pirate Parties International
The Pirate Parties International (PPI) is the umbrella organization of the pirate parties. This organization has existed since 2006 as a loose association of the national parties that had existed until then. Since October 2009 it has had the status of a non-governmental organization (Feitelijke vereniging) based in Belgium . The official establishment with the adoption of the statutes took place at a conference from April 16 to 18, 2010 in Brussels by 22 national pirate parties represented.
PP International supports and coordinates the start-up plans of pirate parties worldwide. It is also used for internal communication. To this end, it operates international forums and mailing lists. The PPI is led by a board, chaired by Guillaume Saouli , and vice-chairman by Bailey Lamon .
Pirates without borders
The Pirates Without Borders (Engl. Pirates without borders ) is an international association of pirates. In contrast to the PPI (which only accepts parties as voting members and organizations as observing members), individuals can also become members of Pirates Without Borders. The POG sees itself as the basis for international projects. Through global cooperation, the effects of supranational trade and economic agreements for all people in the world are to be shown in an understandable way and thus awareness of the global nature of human rights is to be increased in order to achieve more freedom and democracy in society. The Pirates Without Borders emerged from the circle of the independent committee for executive tasks known as DACHLuke (DACHL = Germany-Austria-Switzerland-Luxembourg), the working group for the coordination of the German-speaking pirate parties.
Since the PPI Conference 2011 on 12./13. March 2011 Pirates Without Borders are "Observer Members" of Pirate Parties International .
Since May 3, 2011, the previously independent project “Pirate Streaming” has been part of the Pirates Without Borders.

The party was founded on September 4, 2013 in Luxembourg and has its headquarters in Brussels. In addition to pirate parties from the European Union , pirate parties from other European countries also belong to the PPEU. The top candidates for the 2014 European elections were Amelia Andersdotter and Peter Sunde .
Young Pirates of Europe
The youth organizations of the European pirate parties are part of the Young Pirates of Europe (YPE) organization. The YPE was founded on August 9, 2013 in Vingåker (Sweden). The chairman is the former Junge Piraten chairwoman Julia Reda from Germany. The YPE sees itself as the youth organization of the European Pirate Party.

Germany: Pirate Party Germany (PIRATES)
The Pirate Party Germany was registered with the Federal Returning Officer on September 10, 2006 . Since 2008 she has participated in various state elections ( state elections in Hesse 2008 and 2009 , state elections in Hamburg 2008 , state elections in Saxony 2009 , state elections in Schleswig-Holstein 2009 ) and achieved between 0.2 and 1.9% of the votes. It has run nationwide since 2009 and achieved 0.9% in the 2009 European elections and 2.0% in the 2009 Bundestag elections . Since 2010, she has stood in all state elections that have taken place and achieved between 1.5 and 8.9%. Between June and the end of the 16th legislative period in October 2009, Jörg Tauss, who had converted from the SPD (no longer a member of the Pirate Party since May 2010), was a member of the Pirate Party in the Bundestag. She received her first elected mandates in the municipal elections in North Rhine-Westphalia in 2009 (one seat each in Münster and Aachen). In 2012, the Pirate Party had around 180 mandates at the municipal level.
In the election for the Berlin House of Representatives on September 18, 2011 , the party made it into a state parliament for the first time. On March 25, 2012, the Pirate Party was elected to the second state parliament (Saarland) with 7.4%.
The number of members in Germany rose by leaps and bounds between May 2009 (shortly before the European elections) and October 2009 (shortly after the federal election) and has increased tenfold to over 10,000 members during this time. From the beginning of September 2009 to October 2013 the Pirate Party was the largest of the parties not represented in the German Bundestag, until the FDP left the Bundestag. In May 2012, the Pirate Party Germany had almost 30,000 members. After a peak in September 2012 of just under 35,000, the number fell continuously to below 27,000 members in August 2014, of which just under 10,000 were entitled to vote due to a lack of membership fees.
In the state elections in Saarland on March 25, 2012 , the Pirate Party received 7.4% of the votes and thus four of the 51 seats in the Saarland state parliament . At the beginning of May 2012, the previously independent mayor of Eixen , André Bonitz, joined the pirate party. Thus, the Pirate Party provided a mayor for the first time. On December 31, 2014 Bonitz left the Pirate Party and continued his work as a non-party mayor.
In the state elections in Schleswig-Holstein on May 6, 2012 , the Pirate Party achieved a result of 8.2% and thus six of the 69 seats in the Schleswig-Holstein state parliament . A week later, the party received 7.8% of the vote in the state elections in North Rhine-Westphalia , making 20 of the 237 members of the state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia .
In the 2013 Bundestag election , however, the Pirate Party was barely able to grow with a result of 2.2% compared to 2009 and clearly missed the leap into the Bundestag.
In the election for the Berlin House of Representatives on September 18, 2016 , the party clearly missed re-entry with less than 2% of the vote. A large part of their former voters turned to other parties, in particular the party Die Linke (22,000), the Greens (11,000) and the AfD (12,000), or migrated to the camp of non-voters (18,000).
In the 2017 federal election , the party achieved 0.4%. In 2019 she won 0.7% in the European elections and thus 1 seat in the European Parliament.
Iceland: Píratar
The Icelandic pirate party Píratar was founded on November 24, 2012. She was represented in the Icelandic parliament Althing from the beginning , since the co-founder and first party president Birgitta Jónsdóttir already belonged to it (previously as a member of the “ citizens' movement ” and the “movement” that emerged from it). In the 2013 parliamentary elections in Iceland , the Píratar won 3 seats in the 63-member Althing, 10 seats in the 2016 election and 6 in the 2017 election . The party chairmanship rotates annually. In 2015 the Píratar decided to leave the umbrella organization Pirate Parties International .
Luxembourg: Lëtzebuerg pirate party
.svg){kind=logo}
The Pirate Party of Luxembourg (own name Piratepartei Lëtzebuerg ; French Parti pirate du Luxembourg ) was founded on October 4th, 2009 in Luxembourg City . She is committed to civil rights, improved data protection and more privacy for private individuals. She calls for more transparency in the state, free access to information and education. In addition, she calls for a fundamental reform of the copyright and patent system and is against any kind of censorship. The basic principle is grassroots democracy, which allows all members to actively shape the future of the party. Like most parties in Luxembourg, the Pirate Party is strongly pro-European (“Europe without borders”).
The president and co-founder Sven Clement is also a member of the Pirate Party Germany and the Pirate Party Switzerland . Marc Goergen has been the party's vice-president since October 2012. Founding member and longtime Vice President Jerry Weyer also acted as one of the two co-presidents of Pirate Parties International (PPI) from March 2010 to February 2011.
The pirate party first appeared in the 2013 chamber election . She received 2.9% of the vote, but missed a mandate. In the 2018 chamber election , the Pirate Party won two seats.
New Zealand: The Pirate Party of New Zealand (PPNZ)
The PPNZ was modeled on the Swedish Pirate Party 2007. On March 5, 2011, it stood for the first time in the by-elections for the New Zealand House of Representatives . The candidate in the Botany constituency , Hussain Al-Saady, received 0.2%. In the general election on November 26, 2011 , she ran with candidates in the constituencies of Hamilton East and Wellington Central.

The pirates do not have a federal chairman , but a federal executive board, which currently consists of five members with equal rights. In the interests of grassroots democracy, the pirates consciously forego a “ party leader ” in order to keep the structures flat and free of hierarchies and to put the program in the foreground instead of a public focus on the personnel.
Tyrol: Pirate Party Tyrol (PPT)
Originally founded as a regional organization of the Austrian Pirate Party, the Tyrolean Pirate Party was excluded in January 2011 following internal disputes and then existed as an independent party.
In the April 2012 election for the Innsbruck municipal council , 3.8% of the votes fell on the Pirate Party, which gave them a mandate. The Pirate Party's first councilor was Alexander Ofer, at that time one of the party's two board members. In May 2012, Ofer was expelled from the party and voted out of the party executive committee, the reason for this, according to the party executive committee, was its authoritarian leadership style. Since the then board of directors was voted out of office, the Austrian Pirate Party and the PPT have come closer together again, and the party represented in the Innsbruck municipal council is now called Inn Piraten . On January 11, 2019, the Pirate Party Tyrol announced its dissolution.
Russia: Pirate Party Russia (PPRU)
The Pirate Party of Russia ( Russian: Пиратская партия России ) is a Russian party that advocates reform of copyright and freedom of speech and was founded in 2009 with Pavel Rasudov as party leader. The Pirate Party was unable to register as a party because of its name, but unofficially describes itself as the Pirate Party of Russia . The Justice Department considered the word pirate to be a criminal. Lola Woronina , a member of the Russian Pirate Party, was Secretary General of the international umbrella organization PPI from 2011 to 2012 and has been co-chair there since April 2012 alongside the German Grégory Engels, who was also born in Russia . In January 2013, the registration under the name "Pirate Party" was again refused because, according to the Ministry of Justice, "the name of the party contravened the objectives set out in the statutes".
On October 14, the party took part in the mayoral election of Kaliningrad . Its candidate Dmitry Evsyutkin received 2.17% of the vote.
Sweden: pirate party
The Swedish Pirate Party was the first pirate party in the world. It was founded on January 1, 2006. In the 2009 European elections, Piratpartiet initially won one seat with 7.1 percent of the Swedish vote, and a second seat in the European Parliament after the enlargement of the Parliament through the ratification of the Treaty of Lisbon . Numerous media falsely equated the pirate party with the BitTorrent tracker The Pirate Bay . The next member of parliament, Amelia Andersdotter, is also the youngest member of parliament at the age of 24. In the 2010 Reichstag election , the Pirate Party recorded slight gains with 38,491 votes and 0.65 percent of the vote. In 2011, more than two years after the European Parliament election, the Swedish Pirate Party was finally able to occupy its second seat in parliament.

Slim Amamou , a blogger close to the party, eventually became State Secretary in Tunisia's transitional government . Formal admission was initially denied to the party, which meant that it was unable to participate in the 2011 elections to the Constituent Assembly of Tunisia . It was finally registered on March 12, 2012. It is thus the first official pirate party on the African continent.
Hungary: Kalózpárt
The Hungarian pirate party Kalózpárt was originally not organized as a party, but as a political organization . This worked closely with the Lehet Más a Politika (LMP) party. Among other things, Kalózpárt founding member Mária Hajdú was LMP board spokeswoman. The LMP moved into the Hungarian Parliament in 2010 with 16 members . The Kalózpárt only existed as a working group in the LMP. In 2011 the members of the working group left the LMP and finally founded the Kalózpárt officially as a party in April 2012.
