What are their IP policies? Do they want to abolish all copyrights and patents? ...

According to their latest election manifesto (https://wiki.piratenpartei.de/Bundestagswahl_2009/Wahlprogra...) their main points are:

* legalisation of non-commercial copying

* prohibition of DRM technologies

* right to derive from existing works

* reduction of copyright terms (expiration with death of the author or earlier)

* (continued) prohibition of patents on software, business models, genes and seeds

This are their current goals. They want to allow private copying. So selling the copy would still be illegal.

Concerning patents: "We reject patents unanimously onto organisms and genes on business ideas and also to software"
