Rickard Falkvinge, chairman of the Swedish Piracy Party, said: "The ultimate goal of the Piracy Party is to launch a global intellectual property revolution. Many countries have set up pirate parties. If we win the parliamentary seat again, we will definitely make the world look impressive. "
They think that organizations such as Motion Picture Association of America (Motion Picture Association of America) and Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) often sue others, but they don't allow others to use P2P. They also often call on others to donate money to sponsor anti-piracy activities. In fact, they do whatever it takes for their own interests, even the biggest obstacle to scientific and technological progress and personal freedom.
There are three main points that the pirate party advocates: one is to reform the copyright law, the other is to abolish patents, and the third is to respect privacy. Rick Falkvinge once said that he believes that the original intention of copyright law is to create monopoly, not to protect authors; Under today's technology, the cost of information dissemination is extremely low, and monopoly is unnecessary. Even in order to maintain the monopoly of copyright, it will definitely infringe on personal privacy. The patent system has nothing to do with encouraging creativity. Rick pointed out that research shows that the patent system is mostly used by large companies, which is not helpful for creativity and will only increase the cost of large companies.
Browse the official website of the "Piracy Party", which contains various contents, including the introduction of copyright knowledge, the schedule of activities, and the party's purpose and work outline. The party has won the enthusiastic support and active participation of many young people. A supporter commented: "Knowledge resources belong to open source users all over the world, and the proceeds from commercial copyright should become free resources enjoyed by users.". Downloading files on the Internet should not be banned, but we can consider charging some royalties like Sony and BMG for MP3. " Another supporter believes that it is good for non-governmental parties to consider the special needs of ordinary people, but he is worried that it is difficult for the "pirate party" to win the election with such a narrow political proposition.
