                                                        <p>The Pirate party was officially founded in Bulgaria Sunday <a href="http://piratskapartia.bg">piratskapartia.bg</a>
informs.</p>
<p>Two party members will travel to Brussels to attend the World Pirate
Conference held between April 16 and 18 with representatives of 45
countries.</p>
<p>The idea to establish such party has been in the works for a year now
while its Initiative Committee began functioning several months ago.
The process of the party’s founding concluded with a Forum in Sofia
where delegates from 20 cities and towns voted the party’s code and
program and elected its national leadership.</p>
<p>The party insists that copyrights are revoked because they lead to
the creation of cartels, loss of democratic values and obstacles for
culture and knowledge to reach ordinary people.</p>
<p>Main party principles include: protection of citizens rights,
legislative reform in the areas of patent and copyright laws, fight
against monopolies, making the right of internet access an essential
human right, legal protection and guarantees of free access to
information and culture.</p>
<p>In adherence to widespread internet terminology, the party members
call themselves moderators and administrators. The Chair of the
Initiative Committee, Angel Todorov was elected National Party
Administrator. Todorov, along with the member of the party’s National
Council, Bogomil Shopov, are the delegates for the Brussels forum.</p>
<p>The Bulgarian Pirate Party was officially congratulated by the
country’s Green Party, which reminded the new structure about the
partnership between the Greens and the Pirates in the European
Parliament.</p>
<p>The Pirates also received congratulation notes from similar
formations in Canada, the UK, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, France, the
Czech Republic, Russia, Serbia, Luxembourg and Romania while the
congress was attended in person by representatives of the Serbian
Pirates Party.</p>
