• TPBAFK The documentary about TPB
    7 replies, posted
I am not sure if there's already a thread, if yes, ignore this one. So i clicked the banner on The Pirate Bay because piracy and copyright stuff interests me. And i am sure knowing a large portion of FP is politically left-winged, it may also interests many of you. Apparently this director is working on making a docu about TPB. Not to glorify TPB, but to get the true story out about the guys who started it. He's already got the footage and everything, but is raising money to make his footage become a true docu. Althought he could do it himself, he wants a professional editor to make it into something great so that it may touch more people. [quote=Simon Klose]Two years in the making, TPB AFK is a documentary about three computer addicts who revolutionized the world of media distribution with their hobby homepage. How did Tiamo, a beer crazy hardware fanatic, Brokep a tree hugging eco activist and Anakata, a paranoid cyber libertarian, get the White House to threaten the Swedish government with trade sanctions? TPB AFK explores what Hollywood's most hated pirates go through on a personal level. Trailer and more info here: [url]http://www.tpbafk.tv[/url] This campaign starts exactly one month before the Court of Appeal hearings start in The Pirate Bay trial in Stockholm, Sweden. In 2009 the founders of The Pirate Bay were convicted to 1 year in jail and to pay damages of around 4 million dollars for having 'assisted in making copyrighted content available'. The precedent in the Pirate Bay case will have consequences for the future of the internet. We will cover the upcoming trial closely. After the court case we'll sit down with two years of footage and start editing a first roughcut. The money we raise here will go to studio rent and an editor. Thanks for showing interest in our project, all support is deeply appreciated! Simon Klose Director [/quote] I personally feel like i have an obligation to support these kinds of activities. Activities that may fix the industry without putting restrictions on everything. And i hope some of you feel the same way. While people in nice suits spend years trying to defend hopeless ideas, we can fight to improve how things work. Let's find those "new ways of rewarding culture".

I would watch it.
I'll be sure to torrent that movie when it comes out.
[QUOTE=Onlyonebowman;24416908]I'll be sure to torrent that movie when it comes out.[/QUOTE] Good for you? :raise:
Can't wait to see it.
I hope it comes out well.
It will probably top the "Most torrented movie" list.
They will most likely distribute it for free on the site.
