Background
Time is epic, the ecosystem of the Internet is tested and we are here to defend it. Old regimes are passing new laws and new regulations to uphold a failing system that nobody really wants.
An internet today is not some virtual entity, but a network that can materialize in everything from court systems, parliaments and phone networks to memes, music and art systems. Internet is a methodology, not a place.
The idea of an Embassy of Piracy came up when Piratbyrån and The Pirate Bay got invited to contribute to first Internet Pavilion that will be part of this years Venice Biennial. As an Embassy our task is to represent the freedom of Internet and pirates of Internet and to promote the Kopimi way of life.
The Embassy
The Embassy has multipliable and modifiable form in shape of a pyramid. By downloading and printing out the foldable paper model you can make the Embassy materialize anywhere; in public spaces, in the forest, at work, school or on your dinner table or for your pets.
Remember, when you form an Embassy, you are legally within internet territory. Together we will multiply a growing number of Embassies all over the world. Share your photos of The Embassy on the http://embassyofpiracy.org
We are all the Embassy, we are all Ambassadors of the freedom of Internet. This adventure is ours to swarm, modify and share.
The embassy present in Mendoza, Argentina!

“Old regimes are passing new laws and new regulations to uphold a failing system that nobody really wants” - correct // and good people get crushed by these new laws & regulations & they spirit is weakened by the struggle - so evenso we all feel good making paper cutup pyramid based kopy-write symbols - it doesn’t change the stark realities of what happens to people who disobey society drones // lawmakers… // jail or fines or blacklisted..
i propose “PIRATE COMPANY” instead of embassy - a registered, semi-legitimate structure which disseminates legal advice, torrent clients, & provides a nexus point for all physical agents to meet & plot…
- ways to overthrow/ undermine/ destroy & evolve the governmental & business decay systems which have a stranglehold on the mentals of the average ill informed citizens who remain passive in the face of doom..
“As an Embassy our task is to represent the freedom of Internet and pirates of Internet and to promote the Kopimi way of life.”
- as “PIRATE COMPANY” yr task would be tangible smash tactics - maintain change through direct action.
snap & im OUT
Hi there. Have you thought about than man that owns a state, I mean Sealand?
I know that with you being in an embassy only applies the law of the territory whom embassy owns. In this case Sealand. What is this dude declares piracy is legal and then we declare embassys of Sealand everywhere? looks like a great idea, doesn’t it?
Sorry for my bad english.
