The pirates are a global movement represented as a party in nearly fifty countries around the world. International cooperation is an important issue. We had a very intense discussions about possible upcoming cooperation on future reforms of the European copyright frameworks.
The meeting touched upon the influence of Polish demonstrations on the European Parliament in the ACTA debates and the evolution of political situation in Poland after these protests.
Poland is facing a lot of challenges, but they also represent a lot of hope. It is my hope, and that of many pirates, that together we will seize the future and create a legal framework for communications and interactions that we all accept
says Amelia Andersdotter, Pirate MEP.
We also talked about the usage of the Liquid Feedback voting application and the broadening of Pirate politics in Germany and other European countries. We are very happy that we could met our colleagues from the other European Pirate Parties and exchanged ideas with them.The Polish Pirates contributed with a presentation of their most recent action to promote the knowledge about Polish copyrights and the real rights of people to freely communicate and create: http://badzbardziejswiadomy.pl/.
