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.
