in the Pirate Party we have always stood up against site blocking
it's ineffective
and it's wholly disproportionate
it certainly
shouldn't be a tool of culture policy
i've always warned that we hand censorship powers to governments and
courts at our peril.
But it's important not just a have principles but to act on them.
For some months now
we in the pirate party have been running proxy for the pirate bay
this is a legitimate service for legitimate political end.
But now
this is under threat.
I have received a email from the BPI
the music industry body here in the united kingdom
asking us to remove
the proxy
this is not something that I or the party can agree to.
I have also received an email
threatening legal action
this is a serious threat.
We're going to need your support at this difficult time,
and we're also going to need money
we will need money to be able to fight this
and we need to be able to fight this well.
Not just for the sake of the party
but for the sake of the principles at stake.
If you can give what you can
I promise to give everything I've got.
I promised to stand up for a free internet
I stand by that promise
even when times get tough.
So we are going to need your support
tell your friends about this fight
share it with your networks share this video
Then we will be able to stand up for our shared values and our shared principles
but we can only do this if we pull together.
