Way Off-Topic Pirate Party - no joke
 

We have a new political party in the UK. It's not a joke, though you'd have no sense of humour if you couldn't raise a huge smile or little chuckle....

It's no joke. They are a bona fide registered political party....lmao

The world is changing. The Pirate Party understands that the law needs to change to match the realities of life in the 21st century.
We have 3 core policies:

• Reform copyright and patent law. We want to legalise non-commercial file sharing and reduce the excessive length of copyright protection, while ensuring that when creative works are sold, it's the artists who benefit, not monopoly rights holders. We want a patent system that doesn't stifle innovation or make life saving drugs so expensive that patients die.
• End the excessive surveillance, profiling, tracking and monitoring of innocent people by Government and big businesses.
• Ensure that everyone has real freedom of speech and real freedom to enjoy and participate in our shared culture.
