Free Culture Manifesto
The mission of the Free Culture movement is to build a bottom-up, participatory structure to society and culture, rather than a top-down, closed, proprietary structure. Through the democratizing power of digital technology and the Internet, we can place the tools of creation and distribution, communication and collaboration, teaching and learning into the hands of the common person -- and with a truly active, connected, informed citizenry, injustice and oppression will slowly but surely vanish from the earth.
We believe that culture should be a two-way affair, about participation, not merely consumption. We will not be content to sit passively at the end of a one-way media tube. With the Internet and other advances, the technology exists for a new paradigm of creation, one where anyone can be an artist, and anyone can succeed, based not on their industry connections, but on their merit.
We refuse to accept a future of digital feudalism where we do not actually own the products we buy, but we are merely granted limited uses of them as long as we pay the rent. We must halt and reverse the recent radical expansion of intellectual property rights, which threaten to reach the point where they trump any and all other rights of the individual and society. ........

A declaration of a new Pirate Party

French Pirate Party is born !
Dimanche 25 juin 2006 at 14:33

"We, French Internauts, presently observe the confiscation, by a few partisan and powerful groups, of the French Internet Domain, therefore leading to a prejudice for the vast majority of Internauts.
With the upcoming promulgation of the law about Author Rights - EUCD - , these rights being now seen as the ennemy of the network and of the internauts, we demand the abrogation of the whole set of laws that define intellectual property on the French soil and encourage the internauts to forget these notions in their everyday lives.
The party also demands the legalisation of P2P networks for non-lucrative use as a natural consequence of the suppression of the author right.
The French Pirate Party plan 6 major reforms :
1 - > Total and unlimited liberty of speech
2 - > The end of the author rights as they exist in 2006
3 - > The right to browse anonimously on Internet
4 - > The legalization of P2P Networks when used in a non-lucrative purpose
5 - > The suppression of all taxes on empty hardware
6 - > Free Internet access to all "
