In January 2006 Sweden was the first to have a pirate party called the Swedish Piratpartiet. The Swedish pirate party was created by Rick Falkvinge who was frustrated with his government's slow response to challenges with copyright laws.
Pirate parties support civil rights, direct democracy (including e-democracy) or alternatively participation in government, reform of copyright and patent laws to make them more flexible and open to encourage innovation and creativity, use of free and open-source software, free sharing of knowledge (open content and open access), information privacy, transparency, freedom of information, free speech, anti-corruption, net neutrality and oppose mass surveillance, censorship and Big Tech.
