would have been nice to see some presence from the party out in the street, banners etc. i didn’t see a thing but may have voted if I had have seen something and new something about the party and what it stood for.

Note the Pirate Party is NOT pro-cannabis! As “some” people I know have mistaken while reading this page (you know who you are …).

Pro-cannabis referring to the Legalise Cannabis Party that took place on the same election.

It’s not a donation, NZ electoral law requires us to have 500 *financial* members before we can register or run in the election. (specifically, the party vote)

UPDATE: people can now join for just $2. Hopefully this will help.

“The Pirate Party is pleased to note that the Green MP Gareth Hughes was vocal in his opposition to the bill during debate and should be commended.”

MP Gareth Hughes(@GarethMP) was also one of the few MPs that seemed to have even a rudimentary understanding of the issues and the technology involved.

This is not the kind of attention New Zealand should want to have. Oppressing the people’s right and freedom to communicate is loathesome. This will not decrease but rather increase the degree of civil disobedience in this country. It only hurts people for the continued windfall of greedy and obsolete publishers and rights hoarders.

Re: What should PPNZ policy be for the length of copyright?
It’s a pity the options weren’t a little more fine-grained. I’m currently leaning towards preferring a 14 year term, but voted 10 years because this was the closest option.
