   I want to like this party, but it's been partially compromised by non-pirate politics, such as "trans rights", and it says that the civil liberties it believes in must be "exercised responsibly", whatever that means.
   
   Maybe I should become a member and try to change it from the inside.

     I mean, to be fair, "pirate" was an insult from media company associations, not a self-description.

     Indeed. Pirates are also champions of consent

     I am not familiar with it, but I'm guessing it's about digital piracy (obviously) and freedom and supports breaking any laws that don't allow that?
     Maybe, but you'd expect them to at least in appearance be pro-law when they make a political party.
     Although, I wonder if there's anything actually stopping them from coming out and saying "you can break the law if the law is unjust"?

     A pirate is someone who commits theft, kidnap and murder etc with the assistance of a boat.
     
     A some point, authors re-used the term to refer to publishers who made unauthorized publications of their books overseas (with the assistance of a boat), made a large profit and proceeded to pay such authors nothing.
     
     Publishers then turned it around and removed any semblance of meaning by using it to refer to cases of unauthorized copying, where people individually share information to their neighbors (just to be nice), without any boat assistance, even when the form of sharing is legally not prohibited.
     
     @sun >there is a term for it, it's called "Kopimi"
     "Kopimi" is a big fail as the works are still restricted by copyright and is therefore proprietary.
     
     If a "Kopimi" mark is on a work, all that means is that the author intends to informally allow non-commercial distribution and nothing else.
