The Pirate Bay

The series is inspired by real events.

The course of events has been dramatized.

Did you read this morning's Dagens Nyheter? - No.

There it was contemplated, that if Pirate Bay is convicted,

the people will be considered martyrs.

Monique had replied, that they don't have followers.

"A little copy me cult."

A cult that only has a couple of hundred million...

Copy me cult!

Peter, what mindset are you in for today's trial? - Good.

And you? - Really good.

And Anakata? - This man will save us today.

The film industry lost 18.2 billion dollars due to piracy.

and with the click of a mouse, millions of copies spread around the world.

The villains of the internet are shaking the American economy.

The raid is the result of high-level political games.

Four men are accused in the major Pirate Bay case.

The trial is politically motivated.

We must defend the right to receive and distribute information.

Anakata!

Gottfrid and his accomplices are being charged, -

and they could face imprisonment for violating copyright law.

They are in deep trouble!

MEXICO ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO

I can't now.

What don't you understand? Why can't you...

Hey! You idiot! What do you think you're doing?

THE DUMBEST SOLDIERS IN AMERICA

Don't assume that it's 7-zip when it's not.

Rsms: How is the tracker coming along?

When will it be ready?

Fraux: I need it for the party.

Anakata: Don't sweat it.

Inside! - Could you turn down the music?

We're behind schedule with the IBM script.

Could you help us? - Sure.

It’s needed in two days.

Gottfrid. - Yeah. I’ll take care of it. I just need to do one thing first.

Thank you.

Anakata: It's coming tomorrow.

Did you read the article...

Did you read the article I sent about the Toronto Mail?

Not yet. - It's quite a scary thing.

It talks about a care company that...

implemented a new registration system.

With it, they tracked undocumented individuals... - Peter.

Come to my room.

About the email you sent to everyone... at 03:14 AM...

What did you think about it? - 03:14?

I haven't read it.

The article talks about aToronto care company that...

implemented a new registration system.

With it, undocumented individuals are tracked. - Peter...

The system is very similar to the fingerprint system we developed...

You can't send an email to the entire staff -

about some obscure and random case.

It's about human rights... - Stop.

Here, you are free to express your opinion.

Criticism can be voiced, but it must also be tolerated.

Many say that it is difficult to work with you.

You question and have a negative attitude. You're stubborn.

We need to help each other, -

but above all, we help people with technical innovations.

That is the foundation of our values. And our line.

If you don't share our values, this may not be the right place for you.

Is this the right place for you, Peter?

Is this your place?

I interpret that as a sign of agreement.

Alright then. You can return to work.

Oh right, that sticker.

Take it off.

My life is like "The Office". Kill me.

Anakata: Kill yourself.

I recommend hanging yourself. Easy and effective.

Pirate Office party on Saturday! Important!

The address is Studentbacken 34, Gärdet.

Is it on? - Yes.

Yes, yes. Of course.

How many should we put?

Ready?

It will be taken care of.

Hi. Henrik Pontén from the Anti-Piracy Office. - Okay, hi.

According to the tip, you are selling pirated copies protected by copyright.

You probably know what this is about. - Are you from the police?

No, but the police will definitely arrive quickly.

Don't close the door if you want to avoid a home search.

You would only make your situation worse.

Listen, I think... - Oh come on now.

Otherwise, the police will break down the door, -

and the blue lights are flashing in front of the neighbors.

That wouldn't be very nice.

I'm just trying to handle this smoothly and tactfully.

Okay? - Yeah.

PARTY IN THE LIVING ROOM

Be quiet!

It should be free. Public transport is essential for the city's livelihood.

Hey! - Hi.

A hopeless situation. - They are interconnected.

I know. - Culture belongs to everyone.

Absolutely. - It's the foundation of everything.

Hey. I don't think we've introduced ourselves. Rasmus. - Peter Sunde.

Or rather Brokep. We've been writing about No Logo.

Look, Brokep in the flesh.

Welcome... to the crowd.

To the multitude, like in Negri and Hardt's Empire.

Exactly. An amazing book. - Really.

But hey, make yourself at home.

Damn, Sorribada in Korea... - eDonkey.

That too. In the USA, Direct Connect.

The latest raid was on Torrentz... - Hi.

Why are you so surprised?

Capital always tries to control and govern the internet.

It's damn wonderful to live in Sweden. - Indeed.

Find a chair for yourselves. Let those who can't stand take a seat.

There is definitely a place for everyone.

Well then. Good friends, buddies.

Freedom of speech is under attack.

Rights are being violated around the world, -

as file-sharing sites are shut down.

The only one left is actually Suprnova in Slovenia.

Here in Sweden, Henrik Pontén and the Anti-Piracy Office are playing police.

It's ridiculous! - But let's stop joking.

At the request of the film industry and the copyright mafia -

Henrik Pontén and the Anti-Piracy Office send out threatening letters.

They are addressed to ordinary people.

They demand ridiculous amounts of damages to be paid -

to big movie and game companies.

Just because a person has copied a few discs for their friends.

People reached out to us, -

because they are worried and don’t know what they should do.

We would do this.

But now it's really serious.

We can no longer just stand by, -

but the Pirate Office must take the next step.

We are here celebrating a little revolution.

"The revolution will not be televised!"

The thing is that...

I won't prolong it any further. Dear friends...

May I introduce our very own file-sharing tracker, -

which is the handiwork of Anakata.

The first of its kind in Sweden!

PIRATE OFFICE, OFFICIAL TRACKER

ANTI-PIRATE OFFICE

DO YOU SHOW MOVIES? MAKE SURE TO HAVE SCREENING RIGHTS!

COPYING PROHIBITED

WE PROTECT COPYRIGHTS.

Hi! - How did yesterday go?

Quite well. About 200 devices. - Great job.

Good morning. - Good morning.

It came with the mail in the morning. - Do you think we can evacuate the place?

THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION XOXO. - PIRATE OFFICE

May I introduce our very own file-sharing tracker, -

which is the handiwork of Anakata.

The first of its kind in Sweden!

Previously, libraries enabled everyone to have free access to information.

The internet must provide similar opportunities to modern individuals -

for the sake of democracy.

Copyrights are an old relic that must be relinquished -

for society to evolve.

The consequences for the film and music industry... Who cares!

Like some student play.

CELEBRATION OF DEMOCRACY AND THE FUTURE OF THE INFORMATION SOCIETY!

BITTORRENT TRACKER HAS BEEN LAUNCHED!

You can download and share games, movies, music, TV shows, and much more.

Hey, Fredrik! - Hi.

Good to see you, Fredrik. - Hello. Sorry, I got caught in traffic.

Do you know anything about this?

America's dumbest soldiers? - Yeah, I might have...

So, did I understand correctly that this is a critique, -

in what silly ways soldiers have died in Iraq?

Yeah. - How the hell does our server have such a terrible page?

It wasn't me, but my friend who...

Tell your friend that they called from British Telecom.

William Allen was really angry, -

because he had been called from the U.S. Department of State.

He thinks we enabled access to the site, -

even though I didn't know anything about it.

The whole thing was meant as a joke.

Tell me, what's funny about this! What is supposed to make you laugh?

Be that as it may, the Pentagon ordered to remove that crap.

Pentagon! Pentagon.

You're not in Mexico, are you? - What? No, but...

Why is the dumbest page in America down? - Aha, okay.

"Hi, Fredrik." "Hi, Gottfrid. Nice to see you!"

Don't mess around. Now tell me, why is it down?

Turn to the other side!

They can freely start an oil crisis and destroy civilians, -

But just a little poke at their ego...

I know. I did resist. - I don't believe it.

I said it was just a game. - We're being censored.

What about freedom of speech? Isn't there such a thing in Sweden?

What was it like in Mexico? - Dry.

Right... - The pirate office's tracker needs a stable network.

My ADSL connection isn't enough.

I need to switch to something better, to a workplace network.

Your workplace network?

No, damn it... - Why not?

The Pentagon and the boss are nagging. I can't afford to get fired.
