Barbara Pasa investigates the contemporary phenomenon of digital piracy, starting with Carl Schmitt’s political theory. Drawing connections between maritime piracy and today’s digital pirates, the author explores how copyright law, institutional power, and technological control shape access to information. Examples such as Sci-Hub, UbuWeb, and the Guerilla Open Access Manifesto by Aaron Swartz highlight the tension between intellectual property regimes and the ethical imperative to share knowledge. The recent Italian legislation introducing the Piracy Shield system is critically examined as a case of how legal frameworks increasingly reflect monopolistic tendencies in the digital domain.

Abstract
Barbara Pasa investigates the contemporary phenomenon of digital piracy, starting with Carl Schmitt’s political theory. Drawing connections between maritime piracy and today’s digital pirates, the author explores how copyright law, institutional power, and technological control shape access to information. Examples such as Sci-Hub, UbuWeb, and the Guerilla Open Access Manifesto by Aaron Swartz highlight the tension between intellectual property regimes and the ethical imperative to share knowledge. The recent Italian legislation introducing the Piracy Shield system is critically examined as a case of how legal frameworks increasingly reflect monopolistic tendencies in the digital domain.
