V Praze dne 14. července 2012 …........................................ podpis studenta Abstrakt Předložená bakalářská práce se zabývá historií, vznikem, principy a konkrétními aktivitami pirátských stran ve světě a v České republice. V úvodu autor představuje historii a kontext pirátského hnutí, konkrétně na příkladech skupin kolem hackingu, svobodného softwaru či open access. Více rozebírá i myšlenky zastávané zakladatelem Free software foundation Richardem Stallmanem a známým americkým právníkem Lawrence Lessigem, ze kterých vychází základní pirátské principy, jako je svoboda informací, ochrana soukromí, nebo reforma autorského práva. Po definici vybraných základních informačních politik je v práci popsán vznik a činnosti samotných pirátských stran v Evropě. Důraz je kladen na první Piráty ve Švédsku, na úspěšnou německou Pirátskou stranu, na problémy internetové politiky ve Francii (zejména zákony DADVSI a HADOPI) a na situaci v Evropské unii (s důrazem na mezinárodní smlouvu ACTA). Závěrem je představena historie a informační politika České pirátské strany, jež autor porovnává s informační politikou České republiky ve světle základních principů pirátského hnutí. -
Bradley Manning Nobel Peace Prize Nomination 2013
Bradley Manning Nobel Peace Prize Nomination 2013 By Global Research News Theme: Law and Justice Global Research, March 04, 2013 Birgitta Jónsdóttir official blog and news- beacon-ireland.info by Birgitta Jónsdóttir February 1st 2013 the entire parliamentary group of The Movement in the Icelandic Parliament, the Pirates of the EU; representatives from the Swedish Pirate Party, the former Secretary of State in Tunisia for Sport & Youth nominated Private Bradley Manning for the Nobel Peace Prize. Following is the reasoning we sent to the committee explaining why we felt compelled to nominate Private Bradley Manning for this important recognition of an individual effort to have an impact for peace in our world. The lengthy personal statement to the pre-trial hearing February 28th by Bradley Manning in his own words validate that his motives were for the greater good of humankind. Read his full statement Our letter to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee Reykjavík, Iceland 1st of February 2013 Dear Norwegian Nobel Committee, We have the great honour of nominating Private First Class Bradley Manning for the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize. Manning is a soldier in the United States army who stands accused of releasing hundreds of thousands of documents to the whistleblower website WikiLeaks. The leaked documents pointed to a long history of corruption, war crimes, and a lack of respect for the sovereignty of other democratic nations by the United States government in international dealings. These revelations have fueled democratic uprisings around the world, including a democratic revolution in Tunisia. According to journalists, his alleged actions helped motivate the democratic Arab Spring movements, shed light on secret corporate influence on the foreign and domestic policies of European nations, and most recently contributed to the Obama Administration agreeing to withdraw all U.S.troops from the occupation in Iraq. -

Piracy and the Politics of Social Media
social sciences $€ £ ¥ Article Piracy and the Politics of Social Media Martin Fredriksson Almqvist Department for Culture Studies, Linköping University, 601 74 Norrköping, Sweden; [email protected]; Tel.: +46-11-363-492 Academic Editor: Terri Towner Received: 13 June 2016; Accepted: 20 July 2016; Published: 5 August 2016 Abstract: Since the 1990s, the understanding of how and where politics are made has changed radically. Scholars such as Ulrich Beck and Maria Bakardjieva have discussed how political agency is enacted outside of conventional party organizations, and political struggles increasingly focus on single issues. Over the past two decades, this transformation of politics has become common knowledge, not only in academic research but also in the general political discourse. Recently, the proliferation of digital activism and the political use of social media are often understood to enforce these tendencies. This article analyzes the Pirate Party in relation to these theories, relying on almost 30 interviews with active Pirate Party members from different parts of the world. The Pirate Party was initially formed in 2006, focusing on copyright, piracy, and digital privacy. Over the years, it has developed into a more general democracy movement, with an interest in a wider range of issues. This article analyzes how the party’s initial focus on information politics and social media connects to a wider range of political issues and to other social movements, such as Arab Spring protests and Occupy Wall Street. Finally, it discusses how this challenges the understanding of information politics as a single issue agenda.

The Pirate Party and the Politics of Communication
International Journal of Communication 9(2015), 909–924 1932–8036/20150005 The Pirate Party and the Politics of Communication MARTIN FREDRIKSSON Linköping University, Sweden1 This article draws on a series of interviews with members of the Pirate Party, a political party focusing on copyright and information politics, in different countries. It discusses the interviewees’ visions of democracy and technology and explains that copyright is seen as not only an obstacle to the free consumption of music and movies but a threat to the freedom of speech, the right to privacy, and a thriving public sphere. The first part of this article briefly sketches how the Pirate Party’s commitment to the democratic potential of new communication technologies can be interpreted as a defense of a digitally expanded lifeworld against the attempts at colonization by market forces and state bureaucracies. The second part problematizes this assumption by discussing the interactions between the Pirate movement and the tech industry in relation to recent theories on the connection between political agency and social media. Keywords: piracy, Pirate Party, copyright, social movement Introduction In the wake of the Arab Spring, much hope was invested in social media as a means to mobilize popular resistance. New technologies for decentralized popular communication, such as Twitter and Facebook, were celebrated as tools in the struggle against authoritarian regimes. Later in 2011, the U.S. Congress experienced the impact of digital mobilization when the proposed bills of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) were withdrawn due to massive protests. Digital rights activists were alarmed by what was perceived as limitations of free speech, and tech Martin Fredriksson: [email protected] Date submitted: 2015–02–03 1 I would like to thank Professor William Uricchio for inviting me to the Comparative Media Studies Program at MIT to conduct a pilot study in 2011 and 2012. -

WP109 Bouhdiba
African Studies Centre Leiden, The Netherlands Will Sub-Saharan Africa follow North Africa? Backgrounds and preconditions of popular revolt in the light of the ‘Arab spring’ Sofiane Bouhdiba ASC Working Paper 109/2013 University of Tunis 1 African Studies Centre P.O. Box 9555 2300 RB Leiden The Netherlands Telephone +31 71 5273372 Email [email protected] Website www.ascleiden.nl [email protected] © Sofiane Bouhdiba, 2013 2 INTRODUCTION 1 The year 2011 has undeniably been a special one for the African continent. On 14 January 2011 massive street protests in Tunisia ousted President Z. Ben Ali, a long-time North African leader, 2 leading to what has been called the ‘Jasmine Revolution’. 3 Two weeks later, Egypt successfully engaged in its own revolutionary movement. The totalitarian Libyan regime would end one year later with the brutal death of Mouammar al- Gaddafi on 20 October 2011. In the space of one year and a half, three serving presidents were forced out of office by their own people. In a contagious movement, this seemingly unstoppable wave of revolution inspired popular rebellion movements in other Arab countries. In some of them, such as Algeria, Morocco, or Bahrain, the popular contestation seems to have been abandoned by late 2012, while other countries, such as Yemen and especially Syria, are still today immersed in civil war. In 1992 Samuel Huntington referred to the political liberalization movements in Central Europe as the ‘ third democratic wave in history’.4 In the same spirit, and following the chronology of events, we could consider the Arab Spring as the ‘ fourth wave’ .
