TPB AFK: The Pirate Bay Away from Keyboard

As one of the 25 million users TPB i feel incensed at the forces at work to shut down this amazing site. They claim to be protecting the Artists who make music and movies possible, but all they are worried about is 'the old way of making money'. It is a clash of generations, on the one hand you have the dinosaurs, driven by greed & getting filthy rich from the efforts of others. On the other, you have a bunch of realists, people who have realised that times are changing faster than anyone could have imagined.

The current model of Copyright has no future, it is an over priced relic from a time where the ability to share so easily was impossible. The Spotify/Netflix model is the only future for this industry.

The film is excellent at portraying how corrupt large corporations are especially the Media, they will stop at nothing to squeeze every penny they can out of your pockets and Piratebay are liberators, they allow us to download the movie then decide if we want to pay for it or not it's a truly fair system, I bought Avatar, Batman, Saw series, Harry Potter etc. Disappointing films like the Skyline will not see a penny from my pocket.

A Big thank out to the creators of the Piratebay, you have truly changed the world!

Who would have guessed 20 years ago that Petabytes of information and data would be available for everyone with just a few clicks? Who would have guessed that millions of people would be sharing stuff with other people that they'll never know?

ARPANet was the beginning of a huge phenomena: the Internet. It's something you can't actually touch, yet it's there. It connects everyone, even if they are in opposite sides of the world. The Internet is more than a network, it's a part of OUR life!

Can you imagine spending a whole year without coming to the Internet? Not catching up with your friends, not playing online games, not researching for that work you're making, not seeing the latest viral videos, not writing about what you're eating. The Internet became the world! The Pirate Bay is just a proof of how the Internet rules over everything!

Because you see, TPB is not a warehouse where you can pick up anything you want. No. TPB is a gate. What TPB does is allowing you and me to share things with each other. What we used to do by re-writing CD's and VHS is what TPb is allowing us to do. And it's one of the greatest ideas ever!

I know so many things mainly because of everything I download from the Internet. Movies, documentaries, series, books, music... Everything contributes to our culture, to our wisdom! Hell, it contributes to the evolution of the HUMANITY! Why stop our own advance just because some companies lose little money a year? Yes, they lose LITTLE money. Take the example of videogames: most of them have online features nowadays; you can't play online in most hacked versions, so you have to buy the game. But at least, when you buy it, you know you like it! The same applies for everything else! COMPANIES NEVER LOSE MONEY, THEY JUST WANT TO MONOPOLIZE EVERYTHING!

This documentary shows that pretty well, and shows that all it takes to change the Internet, to change the world, is an idea and work. They're just 3 and they created the biggest thing in the whole Internet. We're more than 6 billion! Can't we change the world as well?

Excellent story about real people taking the blame for dinosaurs failure to evolve. It is amazing too see how different generations fail to communicate. Please give the power and money back to the artists, make them understand they have to work to have an income, that culture is a commodity that is cheap because of the extreme supply and abolish the right to own other peoples copyrights.

Simon Klose makes an objective documentation of our time and puts the people ahead of the story. This is not a film in the end about piracy, it is a film about however unlikely an insurgent, an ideologist and a techie ended up together against the rest of the organised world. About individual loss but the win of a just cause.

I give it a nine for the cause.

The movie really showed me how stupid the system is getting into jail because of a crime they did not commit, only because of the pressure from other countries. Thats just wrong.

Altho the movie showed us a lot there was many things forgotten. I wanted to know more about the crew, how they started the site, finance and personally stuff about them. I feel like the movie was to short... It didn't really gave us the whole picture of it all. Also I would like to know more about the technology stuff about the servers and programing about the site.

I did find it very different to other movies because it was made for geeks like my self and therefor i found it very good.
