<pre wrap="">Brazilian Pirate Party
Hi folks,
I send you this message just to inform you about our status and introduce some ideas of other pirate parties.
We realized our first official meeting ("I Pirate Insurgence") in Sao Paulo in March 09. There we decided our strategies and campaigns:
<b>Project "Odereza"</b>
The Project is named after the senator Azeredo (written in reverse order). He submitted a project of law, which should a) allow the monitoring of the Internet and b) force the ISPs to save personal data and logs of Internet users).
Our aim is to work collaboratively and to submit a new proposal of law that obliges the access of all public data (exceptions just properly justified). The project will promote the transparency as well as the access of all the content produced or owned by government, public agencies, universities, libraries, etc.
<b>"Pirate School"</b>
We have a group that will produce information material to be distributed to students and teachers. It will show the advantages of sharing for students and public agencies. The intention is to deconstruct the discourse of the Industry (The American Chamber of Commerce has a project named "Legal School"). : )
<b>Campaign and manifestation to support the lan houses/Cyber Coffees</b>
Here in Brazil the Cyber Coffees - there are about 90.000 (!!) - are under attack of the APCM ("anti-piracy linked to RIAA/MPAA).
<b>Pirate Blog</b>
We will investigate the point of view of specialists and artists that support our campaigns and do not wish to see the Internet under control. We will interview them about themes like copyright, privacy, sharing etc, control of Internet/network neutrality. This action will give more credibility to our projects and party purpose.
We hope to maintain the contact with other pirate parties for taking advantage of synergy effects.
Best regards,
Jorge
Brazilian Pirate Party
