TPB AFK: The Pirate Bay Away from Keyboard

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.

OK, so we all know ThePirateBay and the majority of netizens have visited it on at least one occasion to share files. What do we really know about the Pirate Bay ? Not a lot it seems. I was luckily invited to see an advanced screening of this documentary. I expected it to be an interesting story. I got what I expected and more. The twists and turns of the reality of how The Pirate Bay was formed, how the authorities went after them and how much The Pirate Bay has affected the lives of so many people, is such an intriguing tale. I definitely recommend this film to all netizens as a 100% must watch film about our generation and at it's core, our online culture and the attempts of the powerful to control the internet. Even if you are just a casual internet user who is mildly curious about internet culture, this is a must watch documentary. 10/10 because... gripping story that has never been told and doesn't end up as you expected... is truly... "gripping story"

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.

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!
