==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
