The Finnish Pirate Party, known in Finnish as Piraattipuolue, is a political party in Finland that is part of the global Pirate Party movement. This movement, which has counterparts in various countries around the world, primarily focuses on issues related to internet freedom, privacy, and copyright reform. The Finnish Pirate Party, like its international counterparts, emerged from the digital culture and is deeply rooted in the principles of the information society.

One of the core values of the Finnish Pirate Party is the advocacy for transparency in government and the protection…   of individual privacy. The party argues that in the digital age, privacy is a fundamental right that must be vigorously defended against encroachments by both governmental and corporate actors. This includes opposing mass surveillance and data collection practices that infringe on personal privacy.

Another key aspect of the party's platform is the reform of copyright and patent laws. The Finnish Pirate Party believes that current copyright laws are too restrictive and serve to hinder creativity and innovation rather than promote them. They advocate for a more balanced approach that allows for the free sharing of information and culture, while still protecting the rights of creators. This includes supporting the use of open licenses and encouraging the development and use of open-source software.

The party also emphasizes the importance of internet freedom, arguing that access to the internet should be considered a basic right in the modern world. They oppose censorship and any attempts to limit the free flow of information online. The Finnish Pirate Party believes that a free and open internet is essential for democratic participation and the exchange of ideas.

In addition to these digital rights issues, the Finnish Pirate Party also addresses a broader range of policy areas, including education, environmental policy, and social justice. However, their stances in these areas are often informed by their core principles of transparency, freedom, and individual rights.

Overall, the Finnish Pirate Party represents a response to the challenges and opportunities of the digital age, advocating for policies that protect individual freedoms and promote openness and innovation in society.
