The Pirate Party of the United States is an American political party, with goals originating from Piratpartiet, a Swedish political party that wants to "fundamentally reform copyright law, reform of the patent system, and ensure that citizens' rights to privacy are respected." As a fraternal party, the PPUS shares similar goals while working within the political context of the United States to achieve them.
The main directive of the Pirate Party is to strengthen privacy and the rights of the individual, while increasing the ability of the individual to share information and services with the group. This ideology is their main issue, although their stance on more issues will become apparent as the party grows.
