The @PiratePartyUK to Close Down

On August 30th, Pirate Party UK announced their plans to hold a vote on whether or not to dissolve their Party: Dear Party members, It is with great sadness that we have reached the conclusion that PPUK has run out of steam.

ECHR asks Russia to friendly settle the case with the Pirate Party of Russia

Gregory Engels October 12, 2020 October 15, 2020

Do you remember the seemingly never-ending story of the refusal of Russia’s authorities to register the Pirate Party of Russia? It first started in March 2011, when “In a bizarre twist, the Justice Ministry has failed to distinguish between sea robbers and copyright infringers” as Moscow Times put it. Then a second refusal was received in December 2012 (Pirate Times reported) and a third followed in October 2013. The Russian Pirate had tried to take this decision to court, but by the end of 2014 was running out of options, as all Russian courts upheld the decision of the Russian Ministry of Justice not to register the Pirates in Russia. …

About Us – Pirate Times

admin October 3, 2020 October 8, 2020

About Us Why the Pirate Times? The pirate movement has been an international force right from the start. Today +40 countries have started their own active pirate parties. This creates a need for the interchange of information, news and tips between the parties. Although there are several opportunities to interact between countries, for example within the PPI, there has still been little exchange of information. We aim to change that by setting up an international news service for pirates. We want to inform pirates and everyone interested in pirate politics about topics that are relevant to all of us from an international perspective. Main goals. Our main goals are: More …
