Passing through CPH:DOX, Swedish director Simon Klose has outlined the groundbreaking release plans for the doc, which tells the inside story of how a cluster of “hacktivists” built the internet’s largest file-sharing site. TPB AFK, though partially crowd funded through a kickstarter campaign, has many mainstream backers, among them DR, NRK, BBC, ARTE, VRPO and the Swedish Film Institute. It is being targeted for launch at an early 2013 festival and theatrical distributors are keen to show it. However, Klose has insisted that all of its partners have to accept the “free” release model he has chosen.

Download music, movies, games, software and much more. The Pirate Bay is the galaxy's most resilient BitTorrent site. For download only. The game was released in Europe on PC-DVD with a. Aggression reign over europe 1.23. Tpb afk the pirate bay away from.

“That has been the deal from the beginning from our side,” Klose commented. “We really wanted to release the film in a radically different way. We don’t think the system works today.” “The inspiration we got from Radiohead was to use many different ways to sell the film,” Klose said of the self-releasing strategy adopted by the British rock band. “We are giving out our film for freewe really think that with this topic, the film should be free. It should be given to the grassroots community. By having it on as many platforms as possible, to share it for free, will also be good for business” Those who watch the film will reportedly also have an option to pay.

Klose was introduced to three founders of The Pirate Bay in 2008 through his friend, Swedish rapper Timbuktu. The director and the hacktivists campaigned together against Sweden’s hugely contentious FRA law, which gives the Swedish State the right to spy on phone and internet activity. “Since a lot of us live online these days, we felt [state snooping] was very scary and we protested strongly against it,” Klose commented. Two of the three founder members of The Pirate Bay have already seen a cut of the doc.

A third, Gottfrid Svartholm, is currently in prison for breaching copyright laws. The director denied that he is supporting piracy and copyright theft. Rather, Klose said, he was calling for outdated distribution models to be overhauled to ensure that the role of the “middlemen” is reduced and that filmmakers get a better deal. He was also hoping to draw attention to the way “large corporations are trying to legislate against civil liberties in the name of artists”. “I am not saying [piracy] is not a problem,” he said. “I am just saying that the focus should be on finding new business models.

“We should focus on the great powers of the open internetthe best way to fight piracy is to make a better model that people want. As long as people are not going to make new films available for streaming online the way we want to consume them, there will be piracy.” The director acknowledged that he was “trying to create a debate” with TPB AFM.

However, he added that his film was an observational documentary,not an activist polemic.

You'll remember last month's news that regarding my novel. This is hardly an isolated incident: the studios routinely exhibit depraved indifference to the inaccuracies in their automated censorship threats to search engines and webhosts. This is especially troubling when the studios' notices catch media made specifically to criticize them and their legal strategies. When that happens, they haven't caught a few dolphins in the tuna net -- they've caught some rival activists in the net, activists who're trying to get them to take more care with their dragnet techniques. A case in point: a brilliantly made documentary about the MPAA-directed attacks on The Pirate Bay's servers in Sweden, funded through a highly successful Kickstarter. The documentary is Creative Commons licensed and can be freely distributed across the Internet, but Viacom, Paramount, Fox and Lionsgate have been sending takedown notices to services all over the Internet -- notices in which they aver, on penalty of perjury, that they have a good faith basis for asserting that they represent the people who made 'TPB:AFK.'

Which they don't. Over the past weeks several movie studios have been trying to suppress the availability of TPB-AFK by asking Google to remove links to the documentary from its search engine. The links are carefully hidden in standard DMCA takedown notices for popular movies and TV-shows. The silent attacks come from multiple Hollywood sources including Viacom, Paramount, Fox and Lionsgate and are being sent out by multiple anti-piracy outfits. It's kind of a 'That's no moon' moment in real life — a series of discoveries in the 1960s and 1970s led geologists to realize that most of Yellowstone National Park was one giant volcanic caldera. If you've seen the cable TV specials, you've probably come to the conclusion that an eruption of this supervolcano could doom humanity and that said eruption is bound to happen at any time.

Not only is a Yellowstone eruption not imminent, but there's also more than one way it could erupt — and the most likely scenarios don't equate to worldwide horror. Entomologist Piotr Naskrecki found this fantastic centipede hiding under the smushy bark of a fallen log in Mozambique. What makes this centipede particularly interesting (besides that great handlebar moustache it's sporting) is the long, fuchsia appendages on its rear end, each one topped with a feathery, yellow bit, like a flag on a pole.

According to Naskrecki, nobody knows what those appendages are for. They seem to have evolved from the animal's rear-most legs, but their function is a total mystery. Conservative industrialist and Tea Party godfather has given $23 million to public television—a very, very good thing, many would argue, because government funding amounts to only around 12% of PBS' operating budget, and the fundraising climate for private sponsorship is grim. PBS is, I'd argue, the last place on television for serious news and investigative documentary filmmaking.

But Koch's backing comes with unambiguous pressure to alter the network's editorial content, and indeed, already has in at least one insance, according to. The story centers around WNET's attempts to placate Koch as it aired Alex Gibney's “,” a documentary critical of Koch and other 'one-percenters.' So critical, it was referred to as 'Citizen Koch.' NEW YORK—Media consumers across the United States are reporting this week that sponsored content—articles and videos paid for by advertisers and distributed by print and digital publications—is easily the coolest fucking published material anyone could ever read or watch. “I love, love, fucking love sponsored content,” said news and entertainment reader Erica Olson, adding that when she can tell a corporation is financially behind a piece of writing, she is even more inclined to click on it. “First off, it’s cool.

That’s not debatable. Second, I don’t find it in any way insulting to my intelligence. In fact, it makes me feel smarter. And third, did I mention that sponsored content is just really fucking cool?”. Julian Assange has presented a set of freedom-of-information data protection act liberated messages from GCHQ, the UK spy headquarters, concerning his own case. According to Assange, the messages reveal that UK spies believed that the Swedish rape inquiry against him was a 'fit up' aimed at punishing him for his involvement in Wikileaks (many believe that the Swedish government would have aided in Assange's extradition to the USA, where there is a sealed Grand Jury indictment against him).

He also revealed cables relating to the spies' candid opinion about his sheltering in the Ecuadorian embassy: A message from September 2012, read out by Assange, apparently says: 'They are trying to arrest him on suspicion of XYZ It is definitely a fit-up Their timings are too convenient right after Cablegate.' .A second instant message conversation from August last year between two unknown people saw them call Assange a fool for thinking Sweden would drop its attempt to extradite him. The conversation, as read out by Assange, goes: 'He reckons he will stay in the Ecuadorian embassy for six to 12 months when the charges against him will be dropped, but that is not really how it works now is it? He's a fool Yeah A highly optimistic fool.' GCHQ acknowledges that the messages are real, but, 'The disclosed material includes personal comments between some members of staff and do not reflect GCHQ's policies or views in any way.'

OK, so we all know ThePirateBay and the majority of netizens have visited it on at least one occasion to share files. What do we really know about the Pirate Bay? Not a lot it seems.

I was luckily invited to see an advanced screening of this documentary. I expected it to be an interesting story. I got what I expected and more. The twists and turns of the reality of how The Pirate Bay was formed, how the authorities went after them and how much The Pirate Bay has affected the lives of so many people, is such an intriguing tale.

I definitely recommend this film to all netizens as a 100% must watch film about our generation and at it's core, our online culture and the attempts of the powerful to control the internet. Even if you are just a casual internet user who is mildly curious about internet culture, this is a must watch documentary. 10/10 because. Gripping story that has never been told and doesn't end up as you expected. 'gripping story'. Excellent story about real people taking the blame for dinosaurs failure to evolve. It is amazing too see how different generations fail to communicate.

Please give the power and money back to the artists, make them understand they have to work to have an income, that culture is a commodity that is cheap because of the extreme supply and abolish the right to own other peoples copyrights. Simon Klose makes an objective documentation of our time and puts the people ahead of the story. This is not a film in the end about piracy, it is a film about however unlikely an insurgent, an ideologist and a techie ended up together against the rest of the organised world. About individual loss but the win of a just cause. The film is excellent at portraying how corrupt large corporations are especially the Media, they will stop at nothing to squeeze every penny they can out of your pockets and Piratebay are liberators, they allow us to download the movie then decide if we want to pay for it or not it's a truly fair system, I bought Avatar, Batman, Saw series, Harry Potter etc. Disappointing films like the Skyline will not see a penny from my pocket.

A Big thank out to the creators of the Piratebay, you have truly changed the world! Excellent film. This is one film that took very long to make and was long expected. It gives you an excellent overview to what Piratebay is and what is its vision and mission ( although if you are a internet user, its highly unlikely that you are not already familiar with TPB) we get to go around on the journey with 3 people who have the most influence on PirateBay and see the story and their troubles from their view points, not based on the lies that's being spread in the media. I personally had a immediate attachment to these people and I respect their work. We get to see how far corporate giants in Hollywood will go to bring down these who are essentially creating buzz for them. Hollywood does not realize that the file sharing sites such as TPB does not damage their companies but rather by sharing the files online, they create an unwanted 'buzz' that eventually leads to more profits for the companies.

This point is very well shown in the film. One interesting aspect is that you can see how the US ( mainly Hollywood) companies try to bully these guys off their ground. As if they also have such power in other lands. It is really sickening. Recommended to everyone.

As one of the 25 million users TPB i feel incensed at the forces at work to shut down this amazing site. They claim to be protecting the Artists who make music and movies possible, but all they are worried about is 'the old way of making money'.

It is a clash of generations, on the one hand you have the dinosaurs, driven by greed & getting filthy rich from the efforts of others. On the other, you have a bunch of realists, people who have realised that times are changing faster than anyone could have imagined. The current model of Copyright has no future, it is an over priced relic from a time where the ability to share so easily was impossible. The Spotify/Netflix model is the only future for this industry.

I really enjoyed this documentary because the people being filmed were the ones who told the story. There was no narration, no script, just the wit, humor, and emotion of those involved with the case For me, the main message this documentary portrays is the absolute inability of the legal systems and the content industries themselves to see what the world is demanding right now, at this very point in time. The way the world wants, and is, consuming content is far different to how the major studios want the world to consume content.

Pckeeper Keygen Cracks more. It is blindingly obvious, and it is at their peril that they continue to ignore what the world wants. If I'm honest, the founders of The Pirate Bay are a bit loony - the documentary doesn't try to disguise this at all, but I have nothing but the utmost respect for them as people, for what they have been through, what they will continue to go through, but most importantly, for what they stand for. My life is far more enriched and satisfying because these three guys had the guts to stand up on behalf of the world. The 20th Century has been and gone. Now it's the 21st Century. It's time to see some 21st Century thinking, ideas, business models, and solutions from the content industry to give the world what it wants.

However it seems like it's up to the rest of the world to force their hand by costing them more and more money through piracy. Maybe when their earnings actually do start to drop - and we see some proof of that drop - then things will change Time will tell. Maybe a good first step would be for 20th Century Fox to change its name to 21st Century Fox. It lessens that stone age first impression that you get when you hear the name. Who would have guessed 20 years ago that Petabytes of information and data would be available for everyone with just a few clicks? Who would have guessed that millions of people would be sharing stuff with other people that they'll never know? ARPANet was the beginning of a huge phenomena: the Internet.

It's something you can't actually touch, yet it's there. It connects everyone, even if they are in opposite sides of the world. The Internet is more than a network, it's a part of OUR life! Can you imagine spending a whole year without coming to the Internet? Not catching up with your friends, not playing online games, not researching for that work you're making, not seeing the latest viral videos, not writing about what you're eating.

The Internet became the world! The Pirate Bay is just a proof of how the Internet rules over everything! Because you see, TPB is not a warehouse where you can pick up anything you want. TPB is a gate. What TPB does is allowing you and me to share things with each other. What we used to do by re-writing CD's and VHS is what TPb is allowing us to do. And it's one of the greatest ideas ever!

I know so many things mainly because of everything I download from the Internet. Movies, documentaries, series, books, music. Everything contributes to our culture, to our wisdom! Hell, it contributes to the evolution of the HUMANITY! Why stop our own advance just because some companies lose little money a year?

Yes, they lose LITTLE money. Take the example of videogames: most of them have online features nowadays; you can't play online in most hacked versions, so you have to buy the game. But at least, when you buy it, you know you like it! The same applies for everything else!

COMPANIES NEVER LOSE MONEY, THEY JUST WANT TO MONOPOLIZE EVERYTHING! This documentary shows that pretty well, and shows that all it takes to change the Internet, to change the world, is an idea and work. They're just 3 and they created the biggest thing in the whole Internet. We're more than 6 billion! Can't we change the world as well?

This movie is simply Breathtaking. It's a must watched movie from anyone that call himself political- activated and also a Pirate.

The documentary contain everything that we must know about the founders, the crew, the story, the enemy and the pirates(peers). Learn about the role of Hollywood, Swedish government, people and File-Sharing's future! All The story behind the curtains of a Huge historical Ship, its captains and all of us; its pirates! The movie will motivated you to continue support of the ship and its founders.By the way, it will definitely make you smile/cry in the end! I think enough said....

I give it a nine for the cause. The movie really showed me how stupid the system is getting into jail because of a crime they did not commit, only because of the pressure from other countries. Thats just wrong. Altho the movie showed us a lot there was many things forgotten.

I wanted to know more about the crew, how they started the site, finance and personally stuff about them. I feel like the movie was to short. It didn't really gave us the whole picture of it all. Also I would like to know more about the technology stuff about the servers and programing about the site. I did find it very different to other movies because it was made for geeks like my self and therefor i found it very good. TPB - AFK is a documentary structured like a political thriller and vice versa.

It employs traditional film-making conventions (irony, drama, fact presentation) although the means by which it is produced, shot and distributed, are highly unconventional. It chronicles the persecution of the founding members of The Pirate Bay by members an objectively corrupt force. The film remains open-ended which is not only the right choice (dramatically) but also a realistic choice, as the ghosts of copyright infringement will probably haunt us longer than the war on drugs or terror. So, watch this first and pay later (or don't) if you like it, which is a far better deal than most cultural objects require from their audience nowadays.
