I am sure that you have seen my article at
http://piratetimes.net/neither-left-nor-right-an-essay-on-pirate-politics/(but
I still link to it for anyone to check it).  My opinion is that the
pirate politics is about pragmatic revisiting of various policies in the
wake of new technological circumstances.  And so:

So if I am not mistaking the PP objectives are:

Because it is good and those new technologies make this possible.

patents) a totalitarian affair, and because the sheer amount of new
discoveries make the patent system impossible.

4- Protection and guarantee of privacy and safety.

Because new technologies make privacy very difficult so we need to defend
it.
