			== Three Pirate Rule ==

			The Three Pirate Rule is a fundamental principle of the Pirate movement. The idea behind the Three Pirate Rule is to guarantee the freedom of initiative, vision and opinion for everyone.

			The Three Pirate Rule tells us that only three pirates are necessary to execute an idea. They don't need any further “Permission” to continue and run this idea as an “official” Pirate Party activity.

			There are three exceptions to the Three Pirate Rule:

			1. Don't do anything illegal
			2. Don't do anything that can damage the good name or the reputation of the party.
			3. Don't use any funds of the party. You may ask for funds.
