The Pirate Party
Participation Transparency + Human rights guarantees
For the Pirate party, since politicians do not comply, there must be direct citizen participation
The pirate party, in imitation of the pirate parties of northern Europe and Germany, advocates direct citizen participation. They ask citizens to get more involved and participate more.

The EESC proposes to carry out measures against the banks that launder the money of pirates and not of them can be to draw up a black list where those banks that use the ransom money paid to the pirates are listed.

The dangerous new traps
Pirates on the Internet: Next to the video they install a spy program
Highly significant sporting or social events are used by hackers to break into computers. Wanting to be informed or know too much can be very expensive.
Along with the information that is usually video of accidents, attacks, wars, musicals, etc., a program is installed that makes the control of the computer pass to the power of one of the pirates, thus increasing the number of machines under their control. Later they will use them for their purposes, from stealing information, to being puppets and used to attack other computers.
Sanctions on Pirate Banks
They break the law for years in the USA
The North American authorities have opened a file with a bank for not declaring the movements of the operations carried out for more than 250,000 million dollars. The Standard Chartered jeopardized security
Spain to the limit
Criticisms of the draft reform of the Intellectual Property Law continue. The new law will be the most restrictive in Europe and makes virtually all copying illegal. The project has also not taken into account the European Community Directives on illegal copies.
Only the copy made from the television and temporarily will be legal. Therefore, it will be difficult to find a citizen who does not have an illegal copy in his house. The organizations urge the government to rectify before it is too late.
Increase in Pirates and Mules on the Internet
Mules try to earn money easily
The need to earn some money makes it easier and easier to establish contact online and respond to an announcement to work part-time. Thanks to these types of advertisements, pirates stock up on email addresses and volunteers who, in exchange for earning some money, act like mules.
Mules are used to make links and transfer money from the account of the victims who suffer the scam by means of a deception, usually through PHISHING (Simulation of the website of their bank). The mule therefore acts as an intermediate account so that the money does not reach the pirate directly.
Commerce, industrial and military espionage, cyber warfare
Entrepreneurs and industrial espionage
Spain
Hackers are no longer used just to take credit card data from banks, or to attack large companies, and even as a social complaint. The danger of industrial espionage is becoming more and more important.
Sometimes companies are spied on by the competition to anticipate plans for new product launches, or new promotions. For this reason, more and more attempts are being made to maximize the security measures of companies.
Asphalt pirates arrested
Paraguay
The new pirates are no longer limited to boarding galleons with treasures, now they are served by trucks and better if they are of large tonnage. The arrest of a group of asphalt pirates who had been stealing Brazilian trucks for years has been an important but belated action.
The pirates’ mode of action was simple to kidnap a driver and seize his truck. The driver was normally abandoned many kilometers from the place of the assault. Language difficulties delayed the start of the investigation by giving the pirates time to put the truck in a safe place.
Music piracy encourages sales
Brussels
Contrary to what was considered until now, it seems that online sales are not affected by music piracy. A study by the European Commission sees correlations between downloads and online sales. But if you consider that music piracy sinks the physical sales of music, although you also consider that the habits have changed.
By countries, those who pirate the least and buy the most are the Germans. And those who buy the least are the Spanish and Italians.
Margaret Thatcher, a pirate in Argentina
Argentina
England occupied the Falkland Islands in the 19th century, totally unilaterally. From that moment it was claimed by Argentina, for 2 century, without paying attention to her claims. The occupation of the Malvinas by Argentine troops marked the beginning of the war with England.
Argentina once again lost the islands thanks to the fact that England had North American support, in addition to the land bases and the information that Chile gave it at that time, directed by the dictator Pinochet.
Hachear tenaciously devoted himself to war as a political solution to his low popularity. Her disproportionate economic cuts and the privatization of important public sectors in the country, had politically sunk her. Her triumph in this war saved her politically.
But from the Argentine point of view, knowing the long history of English pirates and corsairs, Margaret has gone down in Argentine history as a Pirate, who once again snatched the Falkland Islands from them.
Pirate landing on the beach
Barcelona
During the festivities a pirate landing takes place in the so-called Playa de los Pescadores. There will also be a fight between the pirates and the villagers, which will end with a pact between the two. These combats recall the pirate attacks that the town suffered between the 16th and 18th centuries.
Related to intellectual and commercial piracy in Spain
According to investigations carried out by the international police agency INTERPOL, there is a link between piracy and human trafficking.
The large debt pending payment for the illegal transport of people to Europe makes the mafias collect it with illegal activities. For this reason, a large number of people who have come to the peninsula illegally are forced by the mafias to sell pirated products through the streets and small markets. In the case of women, they can be forced to prostitute themselves on the roads or in brothels, especially outside the cities.
The WCO against pharmaceutical piracy

Law against Internet Piracy
Brazil
Brazil already applies the new law against electronic piracy. People who get data from other computers without their permission will be punished.
This law tries to punish hackers who obtain data, photos and passwords to access computer systems and make inappropriate use of them.
Chinese sanitary pirates
China
Taking advantage of the fact that nearly 300 million Chinese have emigrated from their rural provinces and therefore do not have the right to medical care, pirate clinics proliferate. In China, to be able to emigrate to another province, you need a permit. His absence does not allow emigration, a labor contract, or health care.
Health pirates treat desperate patients like abusively priced merchandise, leaving them stranded even locked up if they show up if they suspect the police are coming.

A hacker to influence the Stock Market

Economic wars and scams can already be done through Intered. The global network of networks can be influenced if you manage to modify economic news.

Subsequently, the alteration of the values of the Stock Market and the sale and purchase can be carried out at a frantic speed.
Difficulty stopping
Hackers for its flat structure. Detained member of the LulzSec group
As a result of the arrest of a member of LulzSec, the effectiveness of the arrest has been questioned due to the virtual non-existence of commanders in the hacker groups.

It is expected that Spain will not authorize the extradition to Switzerland, since there is no bank secrecy.
