Which pirate party is that?
It’s noteworthy that patent law is 20 years to this day. It has survived with its core fairly intact, the main change being that you can no longer get a patent for bringing an invention into the country. Today that is called piracy (poor China).
I believe that is because patents simply have to work for the whole country in encouraging progress. If cultural production is stifled, well… Who cares? The elites in the copyright industry benefit, and they have an outsize influence on public discourse.
Ironic, given that Krita came out against AI.
Isn’t it a challenge?
Yes. Or maybe you dreamt it and were a bit confused on waking up. Perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.

Thanks, looks like a good resource.
So acquiring and distributing pirated materials like college textbooks and otherwise expensive software is one example.
That’s an interesting example, because in threads on AI lawsuits there are many calls for expanding intellectual property, without any consideration for public benefit. It’s such an outright doubling down on all the pathological aspects of capitalism. It made me look whether there are any equally concrete demands going the other way and eventually make this post.
Thanks, I’m lining this up for listening.
Part of the platform of the Swedish Pirate Party?
Can’t find it in the Election Manifesto 2022, that they have in English. Sounds more like they want copyright to serve society, not to protect interests.
