Dohnal, Jakub ; Šisler, Vít (advisor) ; Šlerka, Josef (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with history, foundation, principles and specific activities of Pirate parties in the world and the Czech Republic. In the beginning, author introduces history and context of the pirate movement, specifically by describing groups around hacking, free software or open access. Ideas of the Free Software Foundation founder, Richard Stallman and of the well-known American lawyer Lawrence Lessig are thoroughly described, since they work as a substance for the fundamental pirate principles, like freedom of information, privacy protection or copyright law revision. After defining selected information policies, author describes foundation and activities of the European Pirate parties. It lays emphasis on the first Pirates in Sweden, the successful German Pirate party, the problems of internet policy in France and on the European union topics, specifically the international ACTA treaty. In the final part, author introduces the history and information policy of the Czech Pirate party, which is compared with the information policy of the Czech Republic in the light of fundamental principles of the pirate movement.
