Nelson Pavlosky of FreeCulture.org says,

As mentioned earlier on BoingBoing, FreeCulture.org is having a student summit at Swarthmore College April 21-23. On Saturday the 22nd we will be throwing a pirate-themed party, for which we require remixed music videos featuring pirates!

Snip from a project description on the group's blog:

FreeCulture.org is calling for video remixes to be used for the upcoming party and future Pirate Parties. The videos should be set to danceable music, have at least ten seconds of pirate footage, and be in a VLC-friendly format. The remixes need to be in by April 21st to be used for the first Pirate Party, though we will accept submissions later than that for other pirate parties.
