Because kidnapping and killing people on the high seas is exactly the same as sharing music(videos) with your friends!

• The remixes/mash-ups should feature at least 10 seconds of recognizeable pirates (the traditional ARRR MATEY sea-going pirates). The entire video doesn't have to be pirates, but there should be a few clips to remind people that this is in fact a pirate party.
• The music needs a beat that people can groove to. Extra points if the music is plunderphonics or otherwise exercises your fair use rights, but the primary requirement is that the music be danceable.
• The music video should be placed somewhere online where we can download it, in a format that VLC can play. MP4 or MOV will work fine.
• The deadline is April 21st.

The Pirate Parrrty will be held on Saturday, April 22nd, 10pm-2am, at the Upper Tarble, Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, PA, 19081; there will be costumes, remixes, eyepatches, and ARRRR.
