From the series "Ordinary mail"
incidental question after - No (I repeat NOT ) belong to the Pirate Party and not (repeat: NO ) enters my projects in the future belong to that organization, although it is true you can never say "will not drink this water" . When you drink, if that happens, we'll talk.
The January 22 final won legal backing the English Pirate Party , which joins a long list of pirate parties in Europe and the world.
first thing, since its very inception this past summer, controversy arose was the name. And it is understood: thus, in general terms, piracy is not good from any point of view. First, because there is a law and that law must be complied with (except in the case of subversion, but the subversion requires numerous and stringent requirements) because our society is based on the rule of law and it depends, do not exaggerate- our culture itself (in its broadest sense, not of the $ EAG or in the Dixie ), secondly, because piracy damages, first, users and developers of products that can not be hacked ; classic example would be thinking about where would the free software if Window $ was real physically impossible to hack.
What happens is that the term piracy was vulgar and dirty burned by the insanity ownership, which has applied to behavior demagogically perfectly legal, perfectly ethical and, of course, completely unrelated to the true piracy, such as private copying. The thing is clear: if companies face monetary management copyright assholes are assholes because e-mails, yes, we put it through overburden, with the qualification of pirates claim and use our rights the same thing happens: pirates? as pirates. They are the enemy, who have perverted the term and, therefore, from our positions, is used in light of such distortion. Even I have to hear or read that once the stereotype that 'pirates are all ". Well, pick it up every one to where you want or can ...
The Pirate Party's ideology, philosophy, as they call it-is, moreover, perfectly acceptable for the vast majority of the members of the community of free software and of Internet users in general. It can be seen on their website, but is easily summarized:
- Drastic reduction of the duration of the rights of copyright -now 70 years since the death of the author, and free non-commercial use from the first day.
- Reform LSSI scrupulously safeguarding citizens' civil rights and privacy.
- Abolition of the digital canon.
- SEO front against software patents and conventional restriction prohibiting their use on living and active.
- Requiring the use of standards, formats and open and non proprietary software by the government.
- Judicial protection for citizens in network and specific legislation and restrictive for RFID (radio frequency identification, labeling the near future ... and maybe more than the label).
- affordable access for all (economically and technically) to the Internet. This
full agreement-in-common with other Pirate Parties around the world.
Is there anyone who does not sign at the bottom of these claims (other than the enemy, of course)?
Now ... Is it appropriate to an organization as a political party? That's where I personally am more reticent. The organizational needs of all the various pro-freedom movement in net was not discussed, in fact, reflects this need, albeit incomplete, somewhat distorted and, of course, insufficient-platform "All Against Canon » (otherwise organized in the face of a concrete goal, therefore, among other things, is a partial model). The party system is not designed for partial proposals, the parties, on their behalf and government bodies are concerned, must exercise their functions on all the events, issues and factors that generate or suffer or enjoy the entire society. This design-it's something, is, in my opinion, correct, although its actual application is more than questionable. But I never believed in monovectoriales parties even though in some cases, as the Pirate Party to arouse my sympathy.
is tempting I admit, the image of a representative of all Internet users, up to the podium of a Congress of Deputies or the Senate and the truths of the boatman singing a Dixie , to $ GAME, to the silly soup, the jet set news and the rest of the troops, and, taking advantage of parliamentary immunity, saying, well, in terms of pure and hard, calling a spade a spade without fear of lawsuits or complaints or to all rest of the repertoire. But no. The Parliament should, indeed, resolved these issues, but also others, such as fiscal and economic policy, educational policy, academic and professional, territorial, health policy welfare policy, and so forth and so on till we dropped. And in this task no one should be excluded. I do not guess about absenting Pirate Party Members of committees and debates when they do not address a matter that the party has made itself, and yes I imagine, however, serious tensions among voters and among members of the party to Pimero take this position on a particular topic and unrelated to the essence that informs the organization. Therefore we predict a poor political future Pirate Party, except that you may experience an occasional success vertex serving as an object in which the citizen anger projecting their anger, as in the Catalan regional elections Ciutadans de Catalunya. That is useful, indeed, have an invention and to throw the ball to touch the leaves of serious parties, but not really future.
I think more, I've said many times, in building lobbies . The Network itself is already one. And hard, from a few years ago, is taking his dream to more than one. And that lobby already has some leaders, some interlocutors (hated to death, yes, by the enemy). We need, rather than organization, coordination, we lack informal dinners ending tracing methodologies, tactical objectives and plans of action (no concrete actions ) joint. But everything will come. The function creates the organ and to the extent that we feel more helpless against the assault of the powers and their political factotum this body will develop more effective and faster.
I like nice, do not deny at all, the Pirate Party. I also fall well some of its promoters (ie, those who know more or less). I wish, therefore, the best and why not? many successes. My questions are this, doubts, desires do not hide at all. It is even easier you have my vote from time to time, as an alternative to abstention. It is also good to have another organizational vector within that lobby alluded to is still a sort of welter. This is to add, above all other considerations.
As I always say wait and see.
