商品簡介
The Swedish Pirate Party emerged as a political force in 2006 when a group ofsoftware programmers and file-sharing geeks protested the police takedown of The Pirate Bay, aSwedish file-sharing search engine. The Swedish Pirate Party, and later the German Pirate Party,came to be identified with a "free culture" message that came into conflict with theEuropean Union's legal system. In this book, Patrick Burkart examines the emergence of Piratepolitics as an umbrella cyberlibertarian movement that views file sharing as a form of freeexpression and advocates for the preservation of the Internet as a commons. He links the Piratemovement to the Green movement, arguing that they share a moral consciousness and an explicitecological agenda based on the notion of a commons, or public domain. The Pirate parties, like theGreen Party, must weigh ideological purity against pragmatism as they move into practical nationaland regional politics. Burkart uses second-generation critical theory and new social movement theoryas theoretical perspectives for his analysis of the democratic potential of Pirate politics. Aftersetting the Pirate parties in conceptual and political contexts, Burkart examines Europeanantipiracy initiatives, the influence of the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, and thepressure exerted on European governance by American software and digital exporters. He argues thatpirate politics can be seen as "cultural environmentalism," a defense of Internet cultureagainst both corporate and state colonization.
