From PPI
World Pirate Day
Maybe International Day of Piracy sound better. : )
Why we need this
- To attract the attention to our movement;
- To find a way to promote ONE of our causes in that Day; ('Net Neutrality' for example or 'Right to share')
- To get more donations;
- To popularize Pirate Movement and ideas;
- To create a buzz; :)
What to do on that day
- Create local events worldwide; (http://onewebday.org/get-involved/)
- Talk with press and explain what is the main idea of the day and of movement as whole;
- Drink some beers with friends and talk about politics and pirate things
- Put a pirate flag on your window;
- Be a part of a great idea;
- Place a banner or logo to your website;
- Ask people to do the same and to write stories about our cause of the day.
- Sell some t-shirts and support your pirate party and/or PPI;
- Organize an in-depth lecture about our issues
- present a video like 'copyright vs. intellectual property' (best even in/near parliament, to make other politicians aware too)
- We could share CDs, DVDs, musics in MP3 players, cakes, cookies etc. in public places.
What we need
- A website and blog with more info and with useful information like 'get involved', 'theme of the year', etc (done)
- A date for this day (see bellow)
- A name of the day - World Pirate Day
