[pp.int.general] where is the manifesto?

[Richard M Stallman]

    In sum, for the pirate party the essence is:
    YES we recognise the (human rights) protection of information (or =
    whatever overarching term you want to use) ONCE AND TO THE EXTENT IT HAS =
    BEEN ESTABLISHED

That position is morally unacceptable.  If people can change laws to
establish unjust forms of privilege, they must also be able to change
laws to eliminate those unjust forms of privilege.  It is unacceptable
to require the people to pay for their freedom.

More specifically, that position implies that copyright can never be
shortened and no new exceptions can be created.  This conflicts
directly with the Pirate Party's specific platform.
