SHOUTZ TO ANAKATA, DR_DELETE AND ALiGAT0RS

What is it?

How do you... How does this work, then?

I have a contact at Bahnhof. There 's Enigma, a major hub...

Hold on a second. Bahnhof?

Is it run by the ISPs?

I don't think Bahnhof has any control, or is even allowed to have control, of

what 's in their server rooms.

But I can get the log files and send them via chat.

I need access to the server to be able to verify the files.

-It's not possible. -$100,000 is a lot of money.

Yes, but I need it to go underground if this comes out.

We always take care of our informants.

No one will know we had this conversation.

There's so much you don't know.

If we start messing around in the group , we could both be in big trouble.

The scene doesn't like the Pirate Bay?

But you think they like the Anti-Piracy Bureau?

But sure, get 100,000 and I'll solve it.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

No, they're just kids. Three guys from Sweden.

I just saw the numbers - unbelievable.

Thanks, brother. Bye.

"Around 22.00 to 03.00, internet traffic in the world dropped significantly"

-"probably connected to technical problems linked to the Pirate Bay."

Get it? The Pirate Bay is the internet.

/SKYPE-SIGNAL/ It's him.

-How are you, Oded? -Hey, Anakata. -Hey, Anakata.

-Tiamo's here too. -Yeah. -I can't see you.

You're not supposed to.

Congratulations, Mr Oded. You're sitting on a gold mine.

But if I understand correctly, you're not making any money yet.

Frankly , our current situation is unsustainable.

We rely on donations from the Pirate Bureau, as well as money from our own pockets.

Given the rate at which the number of users is increasing,

this is not sustainable in the long term.

I understand that. What does it usually cost to run a site like this?

$10,000 a month? 20 000? You don't get that kind of money in donations.

But if you sold adverts on the site, it would be the other way round.

You'd be in control. With advertisers , you can be as revolutionary as you want.

As long as the user base keeps growing

- and the advertisers get their clicks and their money. How does that sound?

Think about our reputation. What will our supporters say if we make money?

It's not free to give out free information.

This gives us the opportunity to grow.

Isn't that what you want, Minister of Propaganda?

-Do you trust Daniel? What's the deal? -Fifty-fifty.

Kebab without red onion, extra sauce. And Coke.

It doesn't cost that much to sell advertising. We're the ones who built everything.

-It feels a bit skewed. -Yeah. -You can also try being grateful.

We just don't want it to look like we're making private money

. -Yes. Kebab plate with chips.

- Next. What are you having? -Falafel roll without sauce.

What's that?

-So Enigma is the Pirate Bay server? -No, not only.

They and other sites use the server to distribute films.

Now we have a good entry point, and we' ve worked with informants before.

-So what's the problem? -100 000.

That's nothing compared to what our customers are losing.

If we can prove that a server with copyrighted material

is hosted by an ISP , that's the chance of a lifetime.

How can we even pay out such sums? Are you going to ask for a receipt?

We can get results without these guys. Do you even know who he is?

Our mission is to stop piracy , but everywhere we go, our options are being cut off.

How many meetings have we sat in? They show no interest!

Now a door is opening into the heart of the piracy scene - inside Bahnhof.

One of the biggest internet service providers. What's that?

I'm sorry, Henrik. It's too big a risk.

-We're looking into it. -How? -How? How are you looking at it?

-That we're looking at it. -More like you look away from it.

Should it be free to download copyrighted material? Stefan?

Sweden is turning into a pirate paradise.

We have other crimes to focus on. Financial crime, child pornography.

Downloading is not a priority.

I understand that you have a lot to do, but a crime is a crime.

I AM that department. I'm the only one who works on cases like this.

If you want an investigation -

- your report should come with a thorough investigation.

Very cumbersome if I have to do both your job and mine.

/MONIQUE SUCKAR/

Hi. I'm on my way back now. Can we get everyone together?

Damn, it looks professional.

Carl thinks it looks great too.

...a violation of copyright...

Fuck, they don't get it!

Those idiots at the MPAA are sending their fucking Hollywood lawyers after us again!

MPAA - Motion Picture of Anakata's Ass.

Can you just... Oh, for fuck's sake.

"Dear recipient. I wish to inform you that any further contact with us, regardless of..."

Now you're getting very close. ..."regardless of procedure will result in:"

"A: a harassment suit."

"B: a complaint to your bar association for sending unfounded threats."

"We and our attorney think you're a bunch of fucking idiots and that you should..."

-Hey, John. -"We think you're fucking idiots..."

..."and that you should stick batons up your arse. Fuck off."

Always so polite. "Anakata." What the fuck is going on? Have you spoken to the police yet?

Yes, but unfortunately, piracy is not a priority for the cybercrime department.

It's your job to get them to prioritise it!

The thing is , we have to do the investigation for the police.

That's great. Can you organise that?

-Hi. Monique Wadsted. -Robert.

-David. -Welcome. -Welcome. Come on in.

Anakata and Tiamo are the aliases we can link to the website -

- but there may be more.

We can ping the server IP address to the Stockholm region.

That's as close as we can get. They're extremely careful.

Of course they are. They're aware they're doing something illegal. How do we proceed?

Classic reconnaissance work. Identify server centres that can handle the traffic -

and want the sites as customers. Cases like this are nothing new to us.

-Sooner or later we'll find them. -If not sooner.

The site has to stand on its own two feet. We cannot depend on the Pirate Bureau.

But do you want to depend on the market via adverts?

-It ends up with someone taking the credit. -But all the money goes to the operation.

The Pirate Bay is the world's most widely used form of information distribution.

30% of the world's internet traffic.

We could build an entire ecosystem around the Pirate Bay

- with communication tools and meeting places.

We could become the great social equaliser.

That's great, but maybe not at any price.

-What do you mean...? -Have you talked to Mikaela?

The site isn't illegal, so neither is advertising.

No, but I think like this...

You don't want it to look like you're making money from it.

-Hello! -Masterchef! Thanks, mate.

Why don't you double-check with Mikaela? -Yeah, okay.

Well, well, well!

We have a free film festival where we show downloaded films.

-That's great! -Yeah. -And we can find new members.

Annoying for the industry. A finger in the eye of Pontén.

I'm in.

-Okay. So you're in now? -Yes, I told you. -Yes.

Can start by searching film files.

Oh, shit!

-That's quite a lot, isn't it? -Yes, you could say that.

Take that file. See if it's on the Pirate Bay too.

Mm.

There's only ONE server, and it contains copyrighted material.

But the raid needs to be executed the day after tomorrow, so secure the staff.

I checked with Softronic. They have a couple of guys you need to bring in externally.

Oh, yeah? Then I'll need the court order on the trespassing investigation.

Of course you do.

The suspicion concerns unauthorised access to films.

-How do you know that Bahnhof has knowledge of this? -We apply the third party principle:

search of a third party who may not be aware of the offence.

The search is carried out by the Swedish Enforcement Authority

I have discussed this with Lars-Owe. All that is needed is an OK from you.

I'll see what I can do.

-Have you heard anything? -Nothing.

-I see. I'll see you tomorrow then. -Sleep well.

/TELEPHONE SIGNAL/

-Pontén. -Tomas Norström here.

-I've gone through everything. -Okay.

You get your authorisation. You have it with you tomorrow morning.

Did we get it?

We just have to sort it out...

Lars-Owe Kjellquist, Swedish Enforcement Authority.

Everyone should stop working and turn the keyboards upside down.

-Kronofogdemyndigheten. Who are you? -Jon Karlung, CEO.

We need access to the server room.

This way, please.

Here you go.

Micke. Go in there and keep an eye on that they do not open anything.

Hi, Ann. Jon Karlung, Bahnhof.

I wonder if you have the opportunity to come down to us.

There are some things happening here that may be of interest to you at DN.

/MOBILSIGNAL/

-Lars-Owe. -Pontén. How is it going?

-No servers yet, so it takes time. -Okay.

But you know what you're looking for, right? The server should be clearly labelled.

Yeah, I'll let you know when... Bye. Bye.

Ann, Dagens Nyheter. Why is the Swedish Enforcement Authority raiding your house?

We've found something.

Check it out.

Can you stop taking pictures?

It's connected to their network. Should I disconnect it?

Yes, you should.

Police IT department. -Henrik Pontén, Antipiratbyrån.

I want to report a crime in progress.

-What kind of crime? -Against the Copyright Act.

-How long do you think? -It's hard to say.

It's pretty solid encryption

. -Absolutely.

Police.

Police. Police.

We're here to seize the server.

This is an ongoing investigation. Why are the police here?

Now this is a police matter. An ongoing violation of copyright law.

Get out of my office.

-Get out of my office. -Talk to the police if you have any questions.

You're not the police. Get out of my office!

Talk to you later, Jon. Hey, thanks.

/ELDKVARN: "LOVE'S HEAVY"/

-Hello? -Hey!

Wow! That went well, I see.

-Yes, it went well. -Hey!

Fucking muppet!

The world's largest illegal download network .

We can't have them encouraging people to steal.

You read the whole article, right? The part where Pontén complains that:

"You don't need 10 Mbit for e-mail. It's for downloading films."

Fucking idiot. You shouldn't have raided Bahnhof.

It'll never happen to us. -How the hell do you know that?

Pontén, MPAA... They're obsessed with us.

That's why we're building a fucking fortress!

A free zone where all websites are welcome.

We'll move our servers from Carl.

-What? -Here? -Here. -Here. Pirate Bay too.

We should have done it from the start. We need to have our own hosting.

With total anonymity for all our customers. That's where the money will go.

-We'll be called PRQ. -PRQ?

PeRiQuito. Budgie in Spanish.

Small, colourful, beautiful. Live mainly in small flocks.

They want to be free.

-Okay. -Okay. What about Peter? -No, we do this.

This is our thing.

OK, OK, OK. PRQ. That's great.

"The Anti-Piracy Agency is outstanding"

- "and has cracked down on piracy across Europe."

It's a press release from the MPAA

. -Finally.

-Redo? -Yes.

Check it out. Now it's time.

Welcome to the press conference on

the raid on the internet provider Bahnhof.

I'll hand over to Henrik Pontén who will give a brief statement.

-After that we can answer questions. -Thanks.

On 10 March, the police, in cooperation with the Swedish Enforcement Authority

- following a court ruling based on information from the Swedish Anti-Piracy Bureau

- searched the premises of the internet service provider Bahnhof.

The aim was to find the server called Enigma

- which contains copyrighted material.

The server has now undergone a digital forensic analysis

- which determined that the server contained 1,800 films -

5,000 software programmes and 450,000 audio files.

A significant blow to the piracy scene, and a great day for those of us who believe that

artists, writers and directors should be paid for their work

. -Hello. Caroline Olsson, Aftonbladet.

How do you respond to the accusations from Jon Karlung, CEO of Bahnhof -

that you hired an infiltrator who planted evidence at Bahnhof?

Firstly, we did not use an infiltrator, but an informant.

Secondly , nobody planted any evidence.

We were informed that the server existed, and we hit it.

Jon Karlung says that the infiltrator, who calls himself Rouge,

-should have received SEK 200,000 from you-

-and set up the server himself and uploaded 68,111 files.

That is not true.

We got... We got information from very reliable sources.

Jon claims to have evidence in the form of log files and chat messages

- -between the infiltrator and a network technician at Bahnhof-

-and that you bought hard drives for the infiltrator worth 20,000.

-You yourself have reported the Antipiratbyrån. -I would like to see the evidence.

There has been no irregularity in this case.

I have seen the evidence. It seems that Jon's information is correct.

We've been working with an informant named Rouge. That's no secret.

What has been your association with Rouge? What has he done?

-That's not true, is it? -Of course not.

Not even the money?

-Henrik? -Yes, I paid him.

But what the hell!

We do this all the time. They give us information in exchange for money.

You realise what this looks like, right?

It's part of the game.

I'm sorry, but... We'll figure it out.

-How many days after the opening weekend? -We got two.

Cam versions aren't so bad. The screener leaks are worse.

Insiders! Do you know how much it costs to run background checks on 5,000 employees?

You have to find them. We've fired over a dozen.

-Not much of a morale booster. -Hey, we're here to see John Malcolm.

-What's your name? -Stuart, Warner Bros. Alan, Paramount.

You still got that job, Rob? - He's from Columbia.

Many of the people who download don't see it as a crime.

So an awareness campaign would be good, on their own turf.

Banners on popular sites like Tumblr, Yahoo, and that new one, Facebook.

-Is that the one with the pictures? -Yes. -Yes.

Should we buy adverts on the internet to stop people downloading films from the internet?

How small are they? Are they even visible?

We make films. but we run the biggest film company in Hollywood.

We need to get them to step up. Why don't we use Brad Pitt, Clooney, Roberts?

Banners... That's not even our target audience. The average filmgoer is 25 to 45 years old

. -Scott.

Sorry, mate.

DVD revenues are down from 15.7 billion to 11 billion in one year

. -But our regional manager in Asia...

Listen to me. We're losing billions every month and you're suggesting small ads.

We have to shut down the site.

I agree with you. But we need to attack this problem from multiple angles.

Our lawyer is working closely with the authorities.

They're looking for the people responsible, and shutting down the site is a top priority.

Okay. That's all we need to hear. That's all we needed to hear. Get it done.

-Are we done? -Shut it down.

We already have 22 customers. We have to say no to new ones.

This is unbelievable!

It's going to get bigger. We're expanding the server farm.

-You can sit down. -Yes. -Thank you.

"Kavkaz Centre". Hasn't Putin tried to silence them?

Yeah, he hates them. He forced a web hosting company in Lithuania to shut down

- So now we host them.

- What if they come after you? - Well, they can try.

But we are completely anonymous. The project will be a safe, anonymous place.

A sanctuary for pages that are being pressurised.

We don't interfere with what's on their pages.

Freedom can be ugly and on the fringes of society -

but freedom is always better than the alternative.

Yes, maybe it is.

Hello, Henrik. Welcome to Gothenburg.

Hi, Jens.

-You've received death threats. -Yes.

How does it feel?

It's not something you want. The tone of the debate is heightened now.

You have used an infiltrator ...

Yes, informant. It is one of several working methods.

There are extremely closed groups -

- whose goal is to find early copies and spread them on the Internet.

They're not Svenssons pirates.

Jens Nylander, CEO of Jens of Sweden.

You sell MP3 players, which you can download music to from the internet.

Today you reported Pontén.

Pontén is responsible for raising the tone by

using Stasi methods and terror

. -We'll take it one at a time.

I've filed a complaint against the Enforcement Authority

, which carried out the raid Pontén is behind.

There is probably misconduct, as he knows a lot about the raid.

During the raid, the police came there and pointed. "We will have servers here."

They were labelled with stickers. How appropriate!

What do you say, Henrik?

We learnt that the company had copyrighted material.

We got an infringement order from the district court and then used the Enforcement Service.

It's often said that piracy has become a popular movement.

- Can it be stopped, do you think? -Jens: Yes.

Jens: It can't be stopped! These are young people we're talking about.

Take three deep breaths and lower your shoulders, Henrik Pontén.

YOU SHOULDN'T STEAL A CAR

DOWNLOADING A PIRATED FILM IS THEFT

PIRATE COPYING IS A CRIME

/PUBLIC BOOING/

Hello, comrades! /APPLAYS/

Yes! This advert is dedicated to you. That is the power that you have.

By opposing outdated laws -

which exist to feed big business - Hollywood is now terrified of you.

Welcome to the Pirate Cinema, everyone.

A cosy neighbourhood cinema, but also a joint action

- - to show Hollywood and their lackeys at the Anti-Piracy Bureau...

Hello, mate. Hey, mate...

What gives you the right to control my work and my livelihood?

It's impossible to understand what you're talking about...

You're talking about Hollywood. Do I look like Hollywood?

It took me nine years of my life to finish a film -

- which appears on your site in a piss poor copy after only a few days.

-Woman in the audience: Go home! -Listen to me.

The consequences of your behaviour have a direct impact on my life.

My ability to make a living from my job, from my passion.

-You are stealing from me! -We hear you, absolutely.

But stealing is taking something from someone else so that they don't have it anymore.

Exactly. Your film is not stolen, it is copied. Your film is still there.

This whole argument is completely dishonest.

-You all know that here. -I don't agree with you.

-Have a good show! -Stay here, so we can discuss.

No, no, no, no. You want to leave? Okay.

- Excuse me? What do you mean, dishonest? -What do I mean?

I guess that's what society is like. We learn by copying from others.

We read books, we copy thoughts and ideas. It's always been like that.

Books that someone has written, put their soul into to put food on the table.

Absolutely, yes. But if people want to, they can still pay to see your film

- because they liked it or want to support you.

Culture cannot be limited to those with resources.

I agree with that, but I'm not the only one who has worked on this film.

There are many others who have made things and who have to live on their work.

Yes, but then companies have to adapt to how people want to consume today.

We also want to help you market your work -

so that it reaches a larger audience than you would otherwise have.

Any way you slice it, you're stealing from me.

Civil disobedience has always been a method of social change.

Who the hell do you think you are? Martin Luther King?

All of you are just here to watch free films - that's it!

Why am I even talking to you? Fuck!

/BANGING SOUND/

Fuck!

-Fucking idiot! -What's going on?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you okay, or what?

-What the hell has happened? -Egg.

Our site has been hacked.

-"AUH"? -Angry Young Hackers, apparently.

Yeah, well... They've posted Rouge's identity too.

Invalid subscriber number.

/MOBILE VIBRATES/

/MOBILE VIBRATES/

did you sleep well ?

we know where you live soon you will die

/TELEPHONE SIGNAL/ Hello?

Hey, Dad.

What's the matter, Dad?

Has something happened? What happened?

They told me to be careful.

-Did you recognise the voice? -No, I didn't.

Well... It's happened before.

-That someone has called like this? -Mm.

-I'm glad you told me. That's great. -Very good. -Yes. That's great, Markus.

But there's no danger.

No, but it's obviously very unpleasant.

So now you have your own hosting here, then?

Web hosting, virtual servers, tunnels...

-But the Pirate Bay, we're still going to... -The Pirate Bay is already here.

-What? -Yes. Here we have total anonymity.

Lithuanian police raided a web hosting company.

Outflanked by Lithuania... It was nothing. Keep going.

They seized a computer

- where they traced the transfer of the Kavkaz Centre website

- to one of the people behind The Pirate Bay - Anakata.

The Kavkaz Centre is hosted by a web hosting company called PRQ.

We believe that Anakata runs PRQ, and that PRQ hosts The Pirate Bay.

Answer.

-Didn't we have to talk about this stuff before? -This is the best thing for the site.

Would you rather have stayed with Carl and ended up as Bahnhof?

Pontén's fiasco makes him even more angry. Here we have safe, anonymous hosting.

-What other sites do you have here? -You don't need to know that!

Unfortunately, we don't know where the servers are , because PRQ only has one PO box.

But we have monitored it.

And we suspect that this is Anakata.

shoutz to all ALiGAt0RZ (lol), dr_delete & anakata! FUCK THE MPAA FUCK THE RIAA SUPPORT LIBGEN
