ett svenskt politiskt parti som vill avkriminalisera piratkopiering och skydda medborgarna mot övervakning. – Piratpartiet grundades i januari 2006. Det fick 0,63 procent av rösterna i riksdagsvalet 2006, 0,65 procent 2010, 0,43 procent vid valet 2014 och 0,11 procent i valet 2019. Partiet var från 2009 representerat i Europaparlamentet, men åkte ut 2014. Det har inspirerat till piratpartier i andra länder, bland annat det tyska Piratenpartei (länk), som har varit framgångsrikt i delstatsvalen. Isländska Píratar (länk) var enligt en opinionsmätning i oktober 2015 Islands största parti med 34 procent av väljarna, men i alltingsvalet 2017 fick partiet 9,2 procent av rösterna. – Se piratpartiet.se.
