I have also struggled with the connotations of the name "Pirate Party" to a most honorable movement and have seen many others do the same. For me the moment of insight that this name is ultimately both correct and powerful is when a friend equated the Pirates of this movement with the Rebel movement of the Star Wars saga. We are Rebels, we are Pirates, we oppose tyranny, monopolism, though oppression and attacks on our rights and liberties. Go Pirates!
