| Message | International response to the IIP has been as expected, with backlash from potential allies. |
| Date | 01:09:25, April 28, 2005 CET | From | Leviathan Party | To | Debating the Free States of Privateers |
| Message | This bill is so juvenille as to be laughable. The 'backlash' is from two parties from one nation, one of whom still backs the IPT and is merely complaining that we are too 'aggressive.' Of course, they would rather we sit by while the products of our citizens are taken and used for profit by unscrupulous profiteers in other countries. Their criticisms are short sighted, and our position will be vindicated in the longview. |

| Message | If only I knew what the IPT and the IIP where. But anyway, no. |

| Message | The IPT is the Information Purchase Treaty, found: http://www.takeforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=392&mforum=particracy The IIP is the International Information Policy recently adopted my Malivia that states we will not recognize copyrights of non-signatories of the IPT. |

| Message | IIP: international information policy That's when a majority voted to steal the work of anyone who has not signed the IPT with us. IPT: see http://www.takeforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2947&mforum=particracy#2947 This was the treaty to exchange copyrighted or creative commons material. |
| Date | 02:24:08, April 28, 2005 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Free States of Privateers |
| Message | quotes from the backer of the IPT that the LevP speaks of: This decision will not atract more countries to signing the IPT, but, on the opposite, it will cause widespread anger at the Malivian government and rejection of the Treaty itself, undermining it. Whether Beluzia signs the IPT or not, we demand nevertheless that the Malivian parliament retracts the IIP. Otherwise, we promise to start a public and international campaign against your country, until we ensure that all authors are properly recognized and rewarded by your nation. |

| Message | Nice work PP! Most amusing. |
| Date | 02:26:33, April 28, 2005 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Free States of Privateers |
| Message | or did the LevP mean the other party which has responded to the passing of the IPP. "We will call for the non-ratification of the IPT if this behavior continues, but we can certainly say that we will not call for the theft of other nations' property, whether we're part of a treaty or not. If you retract the IIP, then we may continue to support the IPT." |
| Date | 02:34:12, April 28, 2005 CET | From | Labour Party | To | Debating the Free States of Privateers |
| Message | Ahh...that IPT and IIP. This is a very juvenile way of contesting legislation. |
| Date | 02:39:50, April 28, 2005 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Free States of Privateers |
| Message | Please not there has been no support of the IIP at the conference, thus far two parties have spoken against it. |
| Date | 03:36:54, April 28, 2005 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Free States of Privateers |
| Message | that should read 'please note' |
| Date | 05:58:56, April 28, 2005 CET | From | Leviathan Party | To | Debating the Free States of Privateers |
| Message | Why would anyone announce they support it? What do you want them to say, congragulations Malivia on protecting your national interests? That's absurd; most parties in other nations have the decency not get involved in the national politics of their neighbors. |
| Date | 18:44:07, April 28, 2005 CET | From | United Socialist Party | To | Debating the Free States of Privateers |
| Message | Congratulations us for protecting our own national interests! |
| Date | 21:36:59, April 28, 2005 CET | From | Protectorate Party | To | Debating the Free States of Privateers |
| Message | So how is it in our interest to drive potential allies with unfocused attacks? Better means is to locate nations abusing our open society and direct our actions on them, not wildly flinging around the world grabbing patents left and right. |
