One of the main goal of the pirate party is to open the debate that 
keeps being dodged by officials all over the world by the defendants of 
the outdated copyright model : Now that a million copies of a work can 
be made by a single individual at almost no cost, how is copyright 
relevant ? The only alternative to this debate is to kill the internet 
as we know it.

TPB is a way of making their point. If you can't see past that, read a 
bit more about net neutrality and net censorship. Read a bit more 
technical details about what TPB is now (a search engine), read about 
ACTA, read about the various three-strikes laws proposed in many 
countries...
