[pp.int.general] The true core Pirates principles -Serious attempt to get a workable consensus - TLDR version

[Antior]

TLDR; Pirate core values according to me.

This is the last part of my previous mail. If you don't want to read 
through all the extra crap I've written there, at least read this message.

It doesnt't matter what I do or do not like. The only thing that matters 
is what pirates in general agree on. It is very very difficult to speak 
for everyone, but it is not too hard to look beyond my own views. I 
tried to do that here.

And I think it all boils down to the following very general goals:
- General freedom of information
- - Right to access of information
- - Right to internet access
- - Right of freedom of expression
- - Right to re-use and remix information
- - Obligation to give credit where credit's due

 From this follows:
- -  Reforms of 'intellectual property' laws. Copyright laws need to be 
changed for the right to access of information and the right to re-use 
and remix information. Patent laws need to be changed for the right to 
re-use information. Trademarks can be used for recognition purposes for 
the credit where credit's due obligation, but this obligation also needs 
to be part of any law that gives people the right to re-use or remix 
copyrighted and patented data.

- Right of personal privacy
- - Access to personal data
- -  Right to comment (or delete?) personal data

- Transparancy of legislations (although... in a sense this could even 
fit with freedom of information)
- - Accountability of legislators (Do we agree on this one?)
- - Transparancy of the law-making process
- - Transparancy of the governing process, including government finances.

Freedom of information, right of personal privacy and transparancy of 
legislations are the core goals. The sub-points are more of an 
explanation or example of how these three issues could be 'covered' in law.

I never saw the Pirate movement as an organisation that tries to fix ALL 
the world's problems. We try to fix a tiny part of it, that is important 
to US, and hopefully to many voters as well. Let the big parties think 
about solving all other issues. We will free information and protect 
privacy and keep to that. Please don't claim any personal points of view 
as Pirate issues. We have chosen to not go beyond a small set of 
*directly achievable* goals for a reason.

I think local pirate parties are free to add as many other issues to 
their programme as they like, as long as they don't directly oppose the 
core goals. It may even be necessary in order to deal with local laws. 
But internationally, we need to keep to our original limited purpose, 
and not widen it in any way.
