You are reasonably suspected of violating the Copyright Act-

- alternatively aiding and abetting a crime, regarding The Pirate Bay.

Open your mouth. Could you please open your mouth?

How do you react to the suspicions?

Our site is 100% legal.

How do you explain that it contains copyrighted material?

It contains no material, only links posted by our users.

The only time The Pirate Bay removes a torrent file-

- is the name inconsistent with the content?

Then is it possible for you to remove- - a

torrent file that links to copyrighted material?

Technically, yes.

- But you don't? - No.

Gottfrid, we can sit here all night if that's what you want.

I want to admit.

I did it.

I shot Palme.

From the producer association.

Yes... It will be perfect for Johan's birthday.

We have to celebrate. Huh?

You know the guys are released pending charges right?

/PHONE RINGING/

/THE PHONE CONTINUES TO RING/

We are having some technical issues right now at PRQ...

...but we are working on a solution.

No, it... It will be difficult with a time forecast.

Cancel the contract? We are working on solving it.

Well, no, but that...

I see. Yes.

Okay. Bye then.

- Where is Gottfrid? - I don't know.

- How long did you sit? - I don't know. Like all night.

- Did you also sit with him Jim? - Yes.

- Fucking whore. - Mm.

At least I managed to back up all the tracker files.

But... Yes.

/PHONE RINGING/

- Gottfrid. What can I do for you? - I want my servers back.

They are part of the preliminary investigation.

Only 20% of servers have Pirate Bay to do. The rest belongs to PRQ.

You can't give up on a company because I do TPB on the side.

- They are part of the preliminary investigation. - And my personal computer?

- That one too. - It has nothing to do with TPB.

If you have any comments, take them to the county crime scene. Was it something else?

Enter password

185 servers left, then.

/CELL PHONE RINGING/

- Hello, Peter. It's Rasmus. - Hello.

You, what the hell is going on? I read about the crackdown.

Yes. So, the police came into PRQ and took all the Pirate Bay's servers...

Or, well, hell, they took it all.

- Huh? It's absolutely insane. - Yes, I know.

You, I know we said we were going to separate the agency and the Pirate

Bay- - but this is a bloody abuse of rights.

We cannot be silenced like this. We...have to do something.

Yes, yes. It just pours in support.

Yes. Well!

Hello, my name is Rickard Falkvinge and I am calling regarding a permit.

The torrent files are uploaded in this now.

- Great! - Send upload info.

- It must not land on my table. - Yes, but...everything is encrypted.

- Everything? - Yes.

Because damn... I thought you guys had it figured out, that it was waterproof.

- Yeah, but...that's it. - Yes? Yes.

- No more surprises, just. - Of course.

- Thank you very much. - See you soon.

I just got word from the DFA. They have servers we can borrow in Estonia.

- Can I talk to you? - Absolutely.

What is it?

- Did the police take your personal computer? - Yes.

- But you have encryption? - Of course. So what, then?

They must have taken Ana's personal computer too.

- And you don't think he has...? - No idea.

We have received the OK for the application for the demonstration.

Rasmus: Damn. I'm running the IRC now. We talk to them here in Estonia.

- Yes, we were approved. - Damn, how good!

Out with it in all channels. Now they're going to see the hell!

The attention-grabbing and criticized police raid against

The Pirate Bay - - has given the file sharers wind in their sails.

A survey shows that three out of four respondents between 18 and 21-

- think it's okay to download even though it's against the law.

It's not about paid models-

- or that certain professional groups should be paid.

It is about control over culture and knowledge.

For whoever controls it, controls the world.

The media industry is trying to get us…

- Did you catch Gottfrid? - No, he doesn't answer.

- What is he doing? - I don't know.

But now, dear friends, citizens and pirates

- I have the great privilege of handing over to the real heroes...

- You, can I take it? - It's probably easier if I take it.

- I'll fix it. - ...The Pirate Bay!

/CHEERS AND APPLAUSE/

The Pirate Bay! The Pirate Bay!

During two years, The Pirate Bay has grown-

- from a small file sharing site on a crappy ADSL connection-

- to the world's largest distributor of culture and media.

Daily we have 15 million visitors-

- which every second sends enough data to fill 50 DVDs.

So you at the MPAA, the Anti-Piracy Agency, Bush and

Bodström- - or whoever ordered this pathetic attack: Stop

messing with the internet. It is a war you will never win.

It is with pleasure that I announce that The Pirate Bay is up again.

With the help of pirate friends who donated servers and

bandwidth - - we are now decentralized and unstoppable.

Now we fire the big cannon and say: In your face, Hollywood!

The Pirate Bay!

The Pirate Bay! The Pirate Bay! The Pirate Bay!

- Thank you for being able to come... - John?

- I'm going to a meeting. - You have to see this.

It's up again. And they have doubled the number of users since the raid.

- Damn. - And they have changed the logo.

I see it. - Hello to you.

With today's technology, there is no more effective attack, he said.

He has been a consultant to the FBI, so he should know.

We follow his advice and proceed with the cold boot method.

How many servers have you entered?

- None. - None? How many have you gone through?

- 20 pieces. - And how many did you have in total?

- 186 pieces in total. - My God...

But...call me as soon as you have something.

- Absolutely. - Thanks, hi.

- How's it going? - Nothing yet, unfortunately.

Let me know as soon as you make progress.

- Do you think something might have happened? - I don't know.

Ana!

Ana!

What the hell...

Gottfrid? Good Friday!

Hello! Good Friday!

Hello! Good Friday!

- Goodbye! - Shall I fix water or something?

Good Friday! Hello!

Good Friday! Gottfrid, hello!

Yes. What?

Why don't you answer when we call?

Damn miffo.

Was it something?

We are up again.

Gottfrid: Hurrah.

One thing MediaDefender does is we create dummy files.

They look like normal torrent files but link to something empty.

Then we flood torrent sites with them. So people download digital junk.

The file they download is the size of a movie file, but no movie.

When we do it on a large scale, sites like this become useless.

Any questions?

- What do you think? - I don't really know. And you?

Don't know. It feels like we're trying to give back with the same coin.

- Nothing else we've done has worked. - What do you want to do, then?

Don't know.

That sounds good. Yes, definitely.

Okay, see you. Bye then.

Damn, how cool. We are invited to a conference in Copenhagen.

This is absolutely insane, then.

I'm calling you. Good. Well.

Uh, listen... Looks like the White House is ordering the raid.

- Huh? How do you know that? - But it's clear.

My journalist friend received a press release for his editorial office.

"The MPAA congratulates Sweden on the effort." Right after it happened.

- It's fucking insane! - It's a real movie. The White House.

But hey, this is…

This is very good PR for us.

The US threatened Sweden with trade

sanctions unless file-sharing sites were stopped.

Every day, criminals steal American products and spread them on the Internet.

In cooperation with the industry, we target sites that share pirated products.

We will shut down the sites. If a site reappears, we will too.

- Damn! I'm tired of this shit. - What shit?

There is a lot of whining in the forum about crap files.

- What kind of shit files then? - Fake torrents.

Can't you post a request to bring in more moderators?

Yes. Already done.

Good.

K346 to Copenhagen is now ready for boarding.

That's us, corner. Let's go!

- You, Ana. - Yes.

Surely we have encryption on everything?

- Absolutely. - Are you sure?

Yes.

Give a big round of applause and welcome Pirate Bay's three founders to Copenhagen:

Peter, Fredrik and Gottfrid.

Tell us about The Pirate Bay. What do you want to achieve?

We want to achieve well-organized civil disobedience.

Our goal has always been to protect freedom on the Internet.

That's pretty much it.

Yes...

Intellectual property is the oil of the 21st century.

That's what Mark Getty said, founder of Getty Images.

Oil, as you all know, means war.

Every day we delete hundreds of threat emails from Forbes 500 companies-

- who want us to pay millions for alleged loss of income.

But then we read things like this.

Hollywood actors bought pygmy heads and two castles

Yes... Poor Hollywood.

...change to a name that works globally...

- Thank you for being able to come. - Everything to assist the investigation.

I was thinking about your own investigation of The Pirate Bay.

Could there be something there that you didn't see as relevant-

- which can be of help to us now?

Stefan has received all the material.

- Is there anything in particular you have in mind? - No, we just want to be extra careful.

- But everything is going well? - Yes, absolutely. It rolls on.

But thanks for taking the time.

- Will you let me know when you have something new? - Yes, absolutely. Directly.

- You must have a good day. - The same.

How are they to work with? The Americans?

- Good. - Yeah.

Have a nice time.

They haven't gotten a crap out of all the servers.

- Are you sure? - He didn't say it outright.

But why else ask for my old report, which they already received?

- If they can't access the servers... - It's back to square one.

Yes.

Thanks for hosting us, Berlin.

Or as John F. Kennedy said: "Ich bin ein Berliner." The

Pirate Bay handles up to 70% of all bittorrent traffic on the internet.

And of all information sent across the world, bittorrent traffic makes up 80-82%.

If you calculate it, Pirate Bay accounts for more than half of the world's internet traffic.

A site that started as a hobby project.

Me and Gottfrid built the site in our basement.

Yes, it's a funny story.

Invitation to Belgrade But it scares the

crap out of those who control the culture

and knowledge- - what we consume, and how.

But the world, as you can see, is changing.

Thanks for having us, Belgrade. Who here has downloaded from Pirate Bay?

About half. The rest of you are clearly lying.

With the internet they can no longer force us to use their old methods-

- and not exploit what should be a human right.

They are the past, and we are the future.

They just don't know about it yet. Thanks.

- Our purpose was never to exist forever. - Sorry?

The Pirate Bay wouldn't exist forever. But the problem is that we have a stalemate.

We are not going away, and neither is the copyright mafia. Hence the stalemate.

- For a beer in Sweden? - SEK 50.

Or maybe 39, if you go to a "sunken pub".

Dump beer and dump people everywhere.

Damn, how cool! They have approved us. It cost like 500 bucks.

I hereby ordain you as a priest of the Church of Kopimism.

- Not that damn nonsense! - What then? They call us a sect.

The judicial system must not take part in the

communication- - between a priest and his followers.

Listen! Everyone!

The internet is sacred and code is law. And copying is a human right.

Cheers to the internet!

This is crazy. Some seem to worship technology, but now it is recognized as religion.

Yes, in Sweden. A church whose central creed is the right to share files - has

been recognized by the Swedish government.

The so-called Kopimistsamfundet claims- - that

sharing information through copying is a religious act.

Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V, copy and paste- - are sacred

symbols of the Copyist...Copyist community.

- Your thoughts on this? - When I saw Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V...

MediaDefender estimates that the Pirate Bay has lost 7% of its user base.

- So? Then it works. - The companies seem to think so anyway.

They are trying to push more resources via MediaDefender.

Fantastic. See you up there.

It's obvious that someone is messing with us. The junk files only increase.

- Damn, I thought it was solved. - Because you stopped thinking about it?

I just mean that it is important that the site flows well now.

- Huh? - Yeah.

- Ana, what number did you have? - 1.

- I have 2. - I have 3. Then we are all this way.

Here I am.

See you in two hours, so shall we go out to eat?

That's good. Now I am in Kuala Lumpur.

Yes, that's as good as it gets.

I told you not to worry.

The police strike was illegal. It's nothing.

/COMPUTER RINGING/

Mom... I'll call you back. Bye then.

WORLD'S SMALLEST NATION - BUY SEALAND

- Internet for two hours. - Number 5.

We have set up a page where people can donate money.

- This could be big. - It will be messy.

Nice? We are talking about ONE donation of 30 euros per skull.

- Have you heard from Gottfrid? - He'll come.

We have 25 million users, so we'll get to that quickly.

Here, check! It was annexed in 1967-

- by some crazy major who wanted to start a pirate radio channel. It's a given!

- Should we run an entire country? - A copyright pirate paradise!

- John? You won't believe it. - What is it?

Pirate Bay has hacked MediaDefender.

All emails between MediaDefender and the companies are now up on the site.

Both L.A. The Times and the Guardian have written about it.

It's not flattering.

- The companies break with MediaDefender. - My God...

This is why the Pirate Bay exists at all.

But the internet is not just a technology but a foundation for democracy.

And yes, I know that sounds pretentious.

But the Internet will become an intricate part

of our lives - - and permeate everything we do.

And that...

And that's why...we can't let it be controlled by the big companies.

/FREDRIK LAUGHING/

I love that site.

Do you? Me along.

I am actually...

It was nothing.

Maybe I can get...buy one for you?

Or I'll buy you one.

Sure.

- How much? - 200.

Thanks.

- Strong? - Yes.

- What do you usually download? - Movies and books.

I love audio books. Good for learning English.

- What are you doing here? - We are here for a conference.

We ride around and talk, just for a few days.

Until we're done, I can't say anything. But it's pretty sad, actually.

Do you live around here?

- In Laos. - Well, in Laos? Okay.

- Does that mean you work here? - Yes.

But my family lives in Laos.

Does your family live in Sweden?

Well... Well, they do.

So we're pretty far from home, both of them.

You are right about that.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Why did you pull? - I bought T-shirts.

- Have you seen Ana? - No.

Excuse? A beer, please.

I passed by the hotel. Shit, his stuff is gone.

- Gone? Has he pulled? - I don't know.

Without saying anything?

Thanks.

But we still need to roll home soon, because I am invited to SVT Debatt.

After that I'm invited to a Wired conference in London.

It's still cool, right?

What is it?

I'm just so damn tired of all the damn talk.

Damn, we're just going around like a fucking circus.

What circus? What are you talking about? We stand up for Pirate Bay.

- "We"? - Yes. This is really important.

What really? It's Sealand and no religion, just bullshit.

- What nonsense? What the hell is wrong with you? - The Pirate Bay speaks for itself.

Sorry, I didn't know that only I was invited to speak.

Do you think that's about it? You always do this.

- Stroke your ego with Pirate Bay. - Okay, that was WHAT it was about.

- You put the business at risk. - Damn, you don't even understand what we do!

It's a business! Oded said we received complaints from the advertisers.

Maybe you should just broaden your horizons and learn to think for yourself.

I am who I am.

A stupid pig who drinks too much?

You know what's really sad?

That you based your entire personality on something that Gottfrid and I built.

What the hell does that say about you?

Or is it just bloody sad that you think you created it?

Thousands of technicians could have done exactly what you are doing.

But now I was the one who did it.

Fuck you.

This was a bit unexpected.

- How soon can I get a copy? - A day or two.

Here we have another Svartholm Warg.

- This is one month's income. - Oh, then.

/CELL PHONE RINGING/

- So they got to the servers in the end? - No.

Gottfrid Svartholm Warg-

- one of Europe's best hackers-

- had not encrypted his laptop.

He didn't even have a password for it.

- What have they found? - Everything.

- Everything? - Absolutely everything.

Can we have the menus please?

What are you saying? Prepared?

I don't know. I think so. And you?

Always ready.

Hi Monique.

what did you say

Now we buy Sealand

0.01% of target achieved

/THE DOOR RINGS/

- Peter Sunde? - Yes.

You are served. Good evening.

Four men were charged today-

- suspected of helping others download music and movies.

Among users it has been called God's own VCR.

The prosecutor's wording sounds different.

The prosecutor claims that those involved earned millions of kroner on the site.
