TPB AFK

You may already have seen it elsewhere, but TPB AFK is a documentary on the people behind The Pirate Bay and, to a lesser extent, their legal issues. Whether or not file sharing is right or wrong, whether or not the entertainment industry is fighting progress, etc. is left up to the viewer to decide. But whereas TPB is often presented as a criminal organisation, what I saw was just a bunch of people with their own ideals and flaws...


Interestingly, if you're in Belgium and you go to the official website for this documentary and finally choose to download the movie's torrent (set up by the movie's makers), you get the following page:


Make of that what you will... (Never knew there was a Small Internet Wall of Belgium though; somewhat surprising to me.)
