Activism is usually considered to be political action. Members of the Pirate party, because it advances political positions, would be appropriate, I think. I don't know enough about the people who started downloading sites -- oink, piratebay, etc. -- to say whether they did it as a form of activism out of a principled disagreement with the current state of copyright law, or whether they did it to make money (which is what I had always assumed). If the latter, then I think they would form a poor fit with the rest of the folks in the "
Category:Activists" tree. --
