TPB AFK

i just watched this long-pending movie ThePirateBay - Away From Keyboard & here's my review. not really. its just what i felt like (m/t)aking a note of.
IRL [in Real Life], TPB [the world-famous Swedish file sharing platform] is embroiled in a legal battle with Hollywood. At stake is the future of the Internet. See how Subject and Predicate positioning makes a difference. Napster was going down and TPB was just under construction.
Founders of The Pirate Bay :

  • Peter Sunde Kolmisoppi [brokep],
  • Hans Fredrik Lennart Neij [TiAMO]
  • Per Gottfrid Svartholm Warg [anakata]
Seeing themselves as technicians whose aim is to run the world's largest web platform, they claim indignantly that their actions are about freedom, not money
They are not hard-nosed rip-off merchants but rather unworldly nerds, whose social skills and ability to comprehend the analogue world are somewhat limited.

Of course, i took screenshots while i was watching the movie and here are two of them! my favorite ones.





The movie explores the issues the new generation of media consumers has brought into question: free Internet, free speech and the future of creativity in the digital age.

I did a quick Who.is on the following

[All above URLS redirect to thepiratebay.sx/]

This is 3rd-party unrelated stuff i guess - piratebay.com - Just performs Google Custom Search
whois? The site was registered December 19, 2003 and updated December 06, 2012
and then their co-website.

  • flattr.com - registered April 5,2007 & updated March 14,2013
  • flattr.org {says "Welcome to nginx" [so we know what software they use]} - registered Sep 14,2007 & updated March 23,2011
  • flattr.net [redirects to flattr.com] - registered Sep 14,2007 & updated March 14,2013.


And above (to the right) - are the results - the domain owners [ad per registrar info]
Host-country: Sweden [supporter]
The Judge Norstrom was clean - no conflicts - no political associations.
Just some mutual publications - newspapers and magazines - and journals doesn't make enough for proof.
Countries that blame TPB for copyright infringement:
US, UK, Italy, Holland, Denmark, Kuwait, Ireland
Countries involved somehow: Cambodia, Thailand, Finland
Locations worth exploring: Stockholm,Sweden [esp. the HackSpace, maybe without the camelHump and hence just plain text in lower case, that i have been following for long, i always thought it was HackerSpace though, now its clear]

Find something on The Pirate Party, The Pirate Bureau, Pionen, TorrentFreak, PRQ & Flattr
I even tried wikileaks. It is dead as i already knew. Julian Assange et al.
All - com,org,net - are dead/redirect to unrelated stuff.

Techincal stuff and imagery noticed [worth mentioning or not]: trackers, servers, racks, RJ45 LAN cords, Ubuntu, Live Streaming, special and well-known Volume Up and Down Beeps on Ubuntu for media playback control via an audio system, Tunneling Servers, Konami, Nonami, Anagram

Line 1: Sex, drugs and industry
Line 2: Terror, piracy and drugs.

Think xenophobia!
Worth a watch!
Get ready to pirate the pirates — legally

IMDB puts it simply as - "An intellectual freedoms documentary based around the interpersonal triumphs, and defeats of the three main characters against the largest industry in the known universe - The media industry."

This one is a documentary film with the real life characters themselves posing as actors. Just one of a kind. Share the movie online with friends and family and FOAFs too. Spread the love! Watch here.

I have a TPB account. Do you?
