Abstract
Authors have skeptics. Patrick Burkart writes for his. Critics describe the pirate political movement as uninformed and unreliable. Burkart disagrees. He argues that pirates can help protect the digital commons from a dangerous upward ratchet of intellectual property rights (IPR). Activists within the pirate movement define the digital commons as information resources created by the Internet, including Wikipedia, remixes, and fan fiction.
