1:48 - 1:51Three Swedes were arrested today
suspected of running- -
1:52 - 1:57-one of the world's biggest websites
for illegal downloading... -
1:58 - 2:02Good evening. The US government
threatened with trade sanctions- -
2:02 - 2:06-unless file sharing sites, like
the Pirate Bay, are shut down. -
2:06 - 2:11Illegal downloading has upset
big organizations in Hollywood... -
2:11 - 2:16The motion picture studios lost an estimated 6.1 billion dollars to piracy.
-
2:16 - 2:20The White House forced the
Swedish government to intervene. -
2:20 - 2:24We applaud the Swedish authorities for doing that.
This was an important site for us to get rid of. -
2:24 - 2:27The police website was attacked
on Friday- -
2:27 - 2:30-and last night
the government website. -

2:58 - 3:01(Stockholm, Sweden - February 2009)
-
3:01 - 3:05The trial against the founders of
the Pirate Bay begins tomorrow. -
3:05 - 3:07Today they met the press.
-
3:13 - 3:18What will happen to the Pirate Bay
if you're found guilty? -
3:18 - 3:20Nothing.
-
3:20 - 3:24What are they going to do about it?
They've failed shutting it down once. -
3:25 - 3:29They're welcome
to come and fail again. -
3:30 - 3:33It's not the Pirate Bay
that's going to court tomorrow. -
3:33 - 3:39It is about getting us
who are connected to the Pirate Bay- -
3:39 - 3:43-into a political trial.
-
3:43 - 3:47The trial tomorrow is not
about the law, it's about politics. -
3:49 - 3:54Half of all BitTorrent traffic is coordinated by the Pirate Bay.
(BITTORENT Helps people share files with each other) -
3:54 - 3:57It's extreme amounts of traffic.
-
3:57 - 4:01There are 22-25 million users
at this very moment. -
4:01 - 4:05A user is defined
as one ongoing upload or download. -
4:05 - 4:07Any questions? Please.
-
4:07 - 4:08Where is Fredrik?
-
4:08 - 4:10Where is Fredrik?
-
4:10 - 4:12We don't know.
-
4:12 - 4:16He was supposed to be here
but he's probably hungover. -
4:16 - 4:20The first question: Where is Fredrik?
-
4:20 - 4:24I said that Fredrik likes to party.
-
4:24 - 4:29I didn't want to lie and tell them
I knew where he was. -
4:29 - 4:33I tried to get hold of Fredrik
all day yesterday. -
4:33 - 4:40I called him a couple of times
and finally he answered. -
4:40 - 4:43He says: "Do you know where I am?"
-
4:43 - 4:47I go: "No."
"I'm at Arlanda Airport." -
4:47 - 4:51"Why is that?"
"I'm leaving." -
4:51 - 4:54What?
-
4:54 - 4:57He said that he had bought a ticket-
-
4:58 - 5:05-to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. What
a great name for an escape plan. -
5:05 - 5:12So his plan was to head home
to his girlfriend in Laos. -
5:12 - 5:19Live with her and not give a shit
about anything. -
5:20 - 5:25Then suddenly he texted me:
-
5:25 - 5:29"I think it's the Security Service.
The plane is broken." -
5:29 - 5:33"So where are you now?"
"On my way back to the hotel." -
5:33 - 5:36Phew!
-
5:40 - 5:44The interest for the file-sharing
trial in Stockholm is massive. -
5:44 - 5:48(Stocksholms Tingsrätt - District Court)
-
5:48 - 5:53You can't seriously think
that you can stop our world- -
5:53 - 5:56-our everyday, our reality.
-
6:06 - 6:08This is so gay.
-
6:28 - 6:31Monique Wadsted.
-
6:31 - 6:37I also represent
the gaming industry. But not music. -
6:37 - 6:40We have the biggest damage claim.
-
6:40 - 6:45I represent some of the
big film studios in Hollywood. -
6:45 - 6:51Warner Bros., Columbia,
20th Century Fox and MGM. -
6:51 - 6:55We're demanding compensations
of $13 million. -
6:55 - 6:59It might seem insanely high.
-
6:59 - 7:06That should be seen as an indicator
of how big this business is. -
7:07 - 7:10Because this is about
5 movies during 6 months. -
7:10 - 7:15"The Pink Panther", "Syriana",
one "Harry Potter"- -
7:15 - 7:18-"Prison Break" and "Walk The Line".
-
7:18 - 7:21There is no doubt about
what they have done. -
7:21 - 7:25They have run a commercial
business and making a profit. -
7:25 - 7:29The penalty for this type
of activity is prison. -
7:29 - 7:32Not fines.
-
7:32 - 7:37Fredrik would like to tell his
version before the prosecutor starts. -
7:37 - 7:42Is that accepted by the prosecutor?
You may begin, Fredrik Neij. -
7:42 - 7:49I want to start by saying that I have
a great interest in computers and IT. -
7:49 - 7:53And especially for internet
and networks. -
7:54 - 8:00And that I... Well...
-
8:00 - 8:04...I've lost my train of thought.
-
8:04 - 8:10You forgot what you were saying.
You had a long interest in IT. -
8:10 - 8:17I got involved in the Pirate Bay
because of my interest in IT. -
8:17 - 8:22I think it's great fun
to work with technology. -
8:23 - 8:27For me, the Pirate Bay
is a technical challenge. -
8:27 - 8:33To run such a large website
and such a large tracker technically. -
8:33 - 8:42Play with computers that I could
never afford to play with on my own. -
8:42 - 8:45First I want to ask you...
-
8:45 - 8:51The media often describes you
as a computer genius. -
8:51 - 8:55How would you describe
your competence yourself? -
8:55 - 8:58I do have a certain
technical competence, yes. -
8:58 - 9:04What does "a certain" mean,
compared to others? -
9:04 - 9:11I'm not sure this is the right time,
place or medium to post my CV. -
9:11 - 9:16But I am asking you.
Please answer politely. -
9:16 - 9:21I decline to answer that question.
It's too much of an estimation. -
9:21 - 9:24-It's what?
-Too hard to estimate. -
9:24 - 9:29-Too hard to estimate?
- It's a very difficult question. -
9:29 - 9:33How did you meet
Fredrik and Gottfrid? -
9:33 - 9:39I don't remember, but I assume
it was in a chat room on the internet. -
9:40 - 9:43When was the first time
you met IRL? -
9:43 - 9:49We don't use the expression IRL.
We say AFK. But that's another issue. -
9:49 - 9:51I don't remember that either.
-
9:52 - 9:55Got to know each other IRL?
What is that? -
9:55 - 9:58In Real Life.
-
9:58 - 10:02We don't like that expression.
We say AFK - Away From Keyboard. -
10:02 - 10:04We think that the internet
is for real. -
10:12 - 10:14This is what our office looks like.
-
10:14 - 10:19Is this inside the Pirate Bay?
-
10:19 - 10:26Yes. Here are some of
the people working on it. -
10:26 - 10:28-Are they working on it now?
-Yes. -
10:29 - 10:32Where are they based? In Sweden?
-
10:32 - 10:38Let's see. USA, USA,
USA or England, England. -
10:38 - 10:41Finland, I think.
-
11:00 - 11:03The Pirate Bay.
-
11:03 - 11:08This is the web server.
Data base and search function. -
11:08 - 11:12The trackers are over there.
-
11:13 - 11:18This little piece is the tracker.
It's the world's biggest tracker. -
11:18 - 11:22It coordinates 50%
of the world's BitTorrent traffic. -
11:22 - 11:26Not so many computers,
but powerful and well-configured. -
11:48 - 11:50Half the day has gone.
How did it feel in court? -
11:51 - 11:53So far it's been boring.
-
11:53 - 11:58The prosecutors' strategy is to lie
as much as possible in the most boring possible way - -
11:58 - 12:02-so you fall asleep in court and become
physically undable to defend yourself. -
12:02 - 12:09Some say that you've made a lot of
money by spreading illegal material. -
12:09 - 12:14We've probably made a lot of money,
but the site costs a lot, too. -
12:15 - 12:20Hi. Okay, we're coming down. Bye.
-
12:20 - 12:25-Let's eat.
-Okay. Nothing vegetarian. -
12:25 - 12:31Aren't you working on the site
we're on trial for while in court? -
12:31 - 12:38The pirated Depeche Mode CD
I have in my laptop is even funnier. -
12:42 - 12:44He'll open in 5 minutes.
-
12:44 - 12:49How the hell can prosecutor Roswall
mix up megabit and megabyte? -
12:49 - 12:56Generally speaking, for storage you use byte and
when you measure speed you use bit. -
13:13 - 13:18It all started with Gottfrid's site
"America's Dumbest Soldiers". -
13:18 - 13:22It was a site
where you could rate from 1 to 10. -
13:22 - 13:26It was American soldiers
who died in the first Iraq war. -
13:26 - 13:30Then you could rate
how stupid they were- -
13:31 - 13:34-depending on
how silly their deaths were. -
13:34 - 13:39Neither the American government nor
anybody else appreciated the site. -
13:39 - 13:43I had a spare line
which I let him use for the site. -
13:43 - 13:45It was from British Telecom.
-
13:46 - 13:51Someone at the US State Department
called the head of British Telecom. -
13:51 - 13:57He called the head of the operator
in Sweden where I worked. -
13:57 - 14:02So the US government ordered us
to remove the site. -
14:02 - 14:05We fought them for a long time
before we removed it. -
14:05 - 14:09We argued that it was
freedom of speech and parody. -
14:09 - 14:14After a while we closed it down,
when it became too much of a fuss. -
14:15 - 14:21Two months later Gottfrid needed
more bandwidth for the Pirate Bay. -
14:21 - 14:25I still had that line available.
We used it for the Pirate Bay. -
14:32 - 14:38Hearing with the defendant Peter
Sunde. The prosecution may begin. -
14:41 - 14:45Is it true that among
the Pirate Bay computers- -
14:46 - 14:48-you stored one that you owned?
-
14:48 - 14:52I bought a computer
that I gave to the Pirate Bureau. -
14:52 - 14:55What is the Pirate Bureau?
-
14:55 - 15:00It's an organization
that discusses the internet. -
15:01 - 15:06Is copyright and file sharing
discussed on their website? -
15:06 - 15:08Probably.
-
15:08 - 15:12And they are critical to
the way copyright works today? -
15:12 - 15:18I'm not sure about that.
People have different views. -
15:19 - 15:22What's your opinion?
-
15:22 - 15:25It's hard to say.
-
15:25 - 15:29I think it's problematic.
-
15:29 - 15:32In what way?
-
15:32 - 15:37The fact that we're here today
shows that there is a problem. -
15:44 - 15:48First of all, I don't believe-
-
15:48 - 15:55-that young people today
believe that copyright is wrong. -
15:56 - 15:58I think that's a myth.
-
15:59 - 16:04This Kopimi Sect-
-
16:04 - 16:07-has been really good
at promoting it. -
16:14 - 16:16It's so fucking beautiful!
-
16:22 - 16:25We've changed it a bit.
-
16:25 - 16:28So the question
in the newspaper was: -
16:29 - 16:33"If the Pirate Bay gets convicted,
won't they become martyrs?" -
16:33 - 16:37Monique said:
"No, they don't have any followers." -
16:37 - 16:42"However, they do have a small
Kopimi sect following them". -
16:45 - 16:48So sweet. That's us!
-
16:50 - 16:54The Pirate Bureau came into
existence in the summer of 2003. -
16:54 - 16:56It was at the same time-
-
16:56 - 17:01-as the record industry
sued Napster in the US- -
17:02 - 17:08-and the medical industry sued South
Africa for copying HIV-medicine. -
17:08 - 17:12The name "the Pirate Bureau"
was an easy choice. -
17:12 - 17:17It wasn't about
romanticizing pirate stuff- -
17:17 - 17:21-with eye patches and stuff.
We've never liked that. -
17:21 - 17:24The Anti-Piracy Bureau
already existed- -
17:24 - 17:30-we wanted to state that we're
the active part in this conflict. -
17:30 - 17:33The Anti-Piracy Bureau
is the reactive part. -
17:34 - 17:36This is Henrik Pontén
from the Anti-Piracy Bureau. -
17:36 - 17:40We've been tipped off
that you're selling copies. -
17:40 - 17:45Wait, don't close the door.
The police will come with a warrant. -
17:45 - 17:52They have a built a business based
on other people committing crimes. -
17:52 - 17:58They have created an industry with
banners and porn ads to earn revenue. -
17:58 - 18:00It was very profitable.
-
18:00 - 18:04You're making your situation worse.
-
18:04 - 18:08-I must be allowed to close the door.
-Come out, then. -
18:08 - 18:11If you look at studies
about file sharing- -
18:11 - 18:16-they don't do it for the fellowship
or to support the ideology. -
18:16 - 18:20It's because it's simple and free.
-
18:20 - 18:23Then there is a small group
of people who do this... -
18:23 - 18:29...for reasons they claim
to be freedom of speech. -
18:29 - 18:33Our policy has always been
that the site is an empty page- -
18:34 - 18:39-that is created by the users.
We don't interfere with the content. -
18:39 - 18:43Freedom of speech?
-
18:43 - 18:49I'd prefer the technological
viewpoint, a contact service. -
18:49 - 18:52-For communication?
-Yes. -
18:54 - 19:01I don't care about the piracy
ideology, copyright or politics. -
19:01 - 19:05I do this because it's great fun
to run a large site. -
19:06 - 19:08Describe the importance of the Pirate Bay.
-
19:08 - 19:14It democratizes and creates great
conditions for freedom of speech. -
19:14 - 19:17What has that to do
with the copyrighted material? -
19:17 - 19:22The Pirate Bay makes it possible
for individuals to share material. -
19:22 - 19:24Even if it's copyrighted?
-
19:24 - 19:28That's a tricky consequence
that I think we have to discuss. -
19:34 - 19:35What are you hoping for?
-
19:36 - 19:40I hope we don't get a monitored,
restricted internet. -
19:40 - 19:42That's the biggest issue right now.
-
19:42 - 19:46The copyright industry
is digging a grave for the internet. -
19:46 - 19:50They don't take into account the
public benefits of a free internet. -
19:50 - 19:54The problem is that old people
are running the companies. -
19:54 - 19:59They know how you made money
before and they don't want to change. -
19:59 - 20:06They're like the Amish. They don't want electricity.
They know how to make do without electricity. -
20:07 - 20:11Roger Wallis,
please come to Court Room 9. -
20:11 - 20:15Do you think people who download
movies will go and buy them as well? -
20:15 - 20:19-If they would buy the movie?
-Yes, get it legally. -
20:19 - 20:25Yes, but it depends on the quality.
If people want better quality. -
20:25 - 20:28Or if the DVD has special features.
-
20:29 - 20:34You have to increase the value of
the products in order to sell them. -
20:35 - 20:38If you want to adjust your
business model to the new world. -
20:38 - 20:43Thank you. I called your institute
and asked these questions- -
20:43 - 20:47-because we were unable to
put together your curriculum vitae. -
20:47 - 20:51You've stated in court
that you're a professor- -
20:51 - 20:56-but your institute calls you
a temporary guest lecturer. -
20:56 - 21:00-Do you know how to use Google?
-Yes. -
21:00 - 21:03Then it's really simple
to find my CV. -
21:03 - 21:07-We've moved on from that question.
-I thought so too. -
21:07 - 21:12Let's move on.
Thank you, Your Honor. -
21:12 - 21:16When you were appointed,
were there any competitors? -
21:17 - 21:20I thought we had moved on,
Your Honor? -
21:21 - 21:25-I would like an answer.
-Please answer the question. -
21:25 - 21:27I have no idea!
-
21:27 - 21:31I was asked to come and I went
through... And we're back on this! -
21:32 - 21:36...the standard selection process
at the Royal Institute of Technology. -
21:37 - 21:39All my publications were submitted.
-
21:39 - 21:43Three professors
and two international experts- -
21:43 - 21:47-deemed that I was eligible
for the appointment. -
21:49 - 21:52Thank you.
Please just answer the questions. -
21:54 - 21:57How low can you sink?
-
21:57 - 22:01They're so afraid of
the result of your research. -
22:01 - 22:06They can't attack you there, so they
attack you on a personal level. -
22:06 - 22:12The Royal Institute of Technology.
Professor Roger Wallis. -
22:12 - 22:18I think it's sick to attack
the academic world like this. -
22:18 - 22:23It's not the first time. I've heard
about professors in the US- -
22:23 - 22:29-who have indicated that file sharing
could be positive for the industry- -
22:30 - 22:33-that have been hunted down
with a whip. -
22:33 - 22:37It's sad that these American methods
are coming to Sweden. -
22:39 - 22:43Would you like any compensation
for participating today? -
22:44 - 22:49Please send flowers to my wife
for the sleepless night. -
22:49 - 22:52The court's budget
will not allow that. -
22:54 - 22:59It's now two or three days
since the court appearance. -
22:59 - 23:03I'm starting to look through
all the blogs around the world. -
23:03 - 23:05I'm looking here at "TorrentFreak":
-
23:06 - 23:08"Pirate Bay witness
overwhelmed with flowers." -
23:09 - 23:11And an awful lot
of very kind people who wrote: -
23:11 - 23:15"At last somebody from the older
generation"... I'm an old man. -
23:15 - 23:17..."seems to understand
the way we think." -
23:17 - 23:21I also make the point here
that as a composer... -
23:21 - 23:24A song I wrote
bought our first house. -
23:24 - 23:31I support copyright, but only
if it encourages creativity- -
23:31 - 23:36-or economic incitement
or is an incentive to create. -
23:36 - 23:41Not copyright
as a huge control mechanism- -
23:41 - 23:45-for people who sit
on large swathes of rights. -
23:49 - 23:54A police officer that worked with
the Pirate Bay investigation- -
23:54 - 24:00-was employed by a film studio
shortly after the investigation. -
24:00 - 24:06In an email, Warner Bros. states
that the information in the media- -
24:06 - 24:10-about an alleged conflict
of interest is pure speculation. -
24:10 - 24:16He sold his apartment and bought
a house. Just after he got the job. -
24:16 - 24:19I was disappointed
when you didn't investigate him. -
24:19 - 24:22You're claiming stuff
I don't have a clue about. -
24:22 - 24:27You should gather material
and submit it to the police. -
24:27 - 24:31I did, but they dropped the case.
-
24:31 - 24:34Well... In that case
there is nothing I can do. -
24:37 - 24:41His income that year
is higher than his police salary. -
24:41 - 24:45He has declared
capital gains of $120 000. -
24:45 - 24:50This fucking trial just gets
more and more bizarre every day. -
24:56 - 24:59I think there's been a power cut
at the Pirate Bay again. -
24:59 - 25:04-Why do you use automatic fuses?
-They're attached to the cable cover. -
25:05 - 25:10When an automatic fuse dies 5 times
you have to replace it. -
25:10 - 25:16My laptops break all the time so I
don't have time to put stickers on. -
25:16 - 25:20I spilled gin and tonic in one.
I spilled beer in another. -
25:21 - 25:25And I fell on one
and smashed the screen. -
25:25 - 25:28-Do you have WIFI here?
-Yes, it's called "bambuser". -
25:28 - 25:34-Doesn't it work?
-Key... Bambuser... -
25:34 - 25:37-WTF!
-Stop shouting. -
25:37 - 25:41I have abstinence! I haven't
been on the internet all day. -
25:50 - 25:55On page 24
you have received an email- -
25:55 - 26:01-that you forwarded
to Gottfrid and Peter Sunde. -
26:02 - 26:05Why did you forward it?
-
26:05 - 26:08I didn't. Every mail
that contains DMCA- -
26:09 - 26:12-is automatically forwarded
to Gottfrid and Peter. -
26:12 - 26:16I have a lot of abbreviations
in my filter. -
26:16 - 26:20-Who programmed the abbreviations?
-I did. -
26:20 - 26:23-Why?
-Because I got a lot of spam. -
26:23 - 26:28Why would you consider an email-
-
26:28 - 26:32-called "Copyright Claim" as spam?
-
26:32 - 26:37Spam are emails
that I haven't requested. -
26:37 - 26:42Fredrik Neij stated
that as soon as he got an email- -
26:43 - 26:47-from someone
representing copyright owners- -
26:47 - 26:53-it was forwarded to you
from his computer. Is that correct? -
26:53 - 26:56Since no one seems capable
to do what we've told them- -
26:56 - 27:00-i.e. contact the user
that uploaded the material- -
27:00 - 27:05-those complaints
have either been ignored- -
27:05 - 27:10-or been replied to
in more or less well-phrased ways. -
27:13 - 27:17Why was it sent to you?
-
27:17 - 27:21I express myself well in writing,
as opposed to Fredrik. -
27:21 - 27:26But such a claim didn't result
in anything but scorn and ridicule? -
27:26 - 27:34The first 100 times it resulted in us
saying: "Contact the uploader." -
27:34 - 27:38-And the following 100 times?
-Then we lost our patience. -
27:50 - 27:54The Company PRQ...
-
27:54 - 28:00-Was it a web hotel?
-Yes, it had just been founded. -
28:01 - 28:06Is it correct that the prosecution
confiscated 195 servers- -
28:06 - 28:09-and that 11
belonged to the Pirate Bay? -
28:10 - 28:1311 or 13, I don't remember exactly.
-
28:13 - 28:17This is outrageous.
This is a true injustice. -
28:17 - 28:22They're attacking a company that has
nothing to do with the Pirate Bay. -
28:22 - 28:29Simply because the co-founders were
involved with the Pirate Bay for fun. -
28:31 - 28:35Thanks to the raid
PRQ got a lot of attention. -
28:35 - 28:40Everybody knew that we never
give any information to the police. -
28:40 - 28:42Our customer database
was encrypted. -
28:42 - 28:48The police seized our servers, but
didn't get any customer information. -
28:49 - 28:53When the Pirate Bay
was shut down after the raid- -
28:53 - 28:56-you didn't have
any servers left, right? -
28:56 - 28:59You were back online after three days.
Where did you get the servers? -
28:59 - 29:03We leased servers from a company
called NFOrce in Holland. -
29:03 - 29:05It's a co-location company.
-
29:05 - 29:08-How was that received?
-With standing ovations. -
29:09 - 29:14It's a pleasure to announce
that the Pirate Bay is back online! -
29:14 - 29:17In your face, Hollywood!
-
29:26 - 29:30-Peter!
-Yes? I'll be there soon! -
29:30 - 29:36That's how you have treated me. I get
letters from your lawyers saying: -
29:37 - 29:41"Swedish law cannot protect you.
US law will get you". -
29:41 - 29:45You put private detectives on us.
I've had two outside my house. -
29:46 - 29:50-I know nothing about that.
-But it's your responsibility. -
29:50 - 29:52It could have been the film industry.
-
29:52 - 29:53-No, it was the music industry.
-Ok. -
29:53 - 29:56TPB isn't interested
in music and movies. -
29:56 - 30:01TPB is a generic medium for
distribution of all types of files. -
30:01 - 30:07People shouldn't say that TPB only is about
spreading illegal movies and music. -
30:07 - 30:11Then your world is this small.
It's your loss. -
30:11 - 30:14Instead we could say
that file sharing is good. -
30:14 - 30:19Then we could focus on ways
to let artists make money. -
30:19 - 30:24-We think file sharing is good.
-Sure, but you sue everyone. -
30:24 - 30:27No. We don't want
to prosecute anyone. -
30:27 - 30:32We just want people in Sweden
to start respecting copyright laws. -
30:54 - 31:00What was the purpose of
the Pirate Bay in your opinion? -
31:00 - 31:04We never spoke about purposes.
-
31:04 - 31:09If it was about reforming laws
or if it was about- -
31:09 - 31:15-hatred against some Americans.
I don't know their purpose. -
31:15 - 31:20But for Fredrik, and it was
Fredrik I was dealing with- -
31:20 - 31:26-the purpose was to make it
a big site. The biggest site in the world. -
31:26 - 31:31From my point of view I liked the
idea of the world's biggest site. -
31:31 - 31:36-How is the Pirate Bay financed?
-How the website is financed? -
31:37 - 31:40We have ads on the site
that generate money. -
31:41 - 31:45A guy called Lundström
helped you financially, didn't he? -
31:46 - 31:49Yes, we we're sponsored
by a company called Rix Telecom. -
31:49 - 31:54-What was his purpose?
-Free advertising for his company. -
31:54 - 31:56Carl Lundström is an interesting guy.
-
31:57 - 32:01He's behind
many right-wing organizations. -
32:01 - 32:05Carl Lundström
has apparently given money to... -
32:05 - 32:09Answer the question!
Did he represent these organizations? -
32:09 - 32:13It really bugs me-
-
32:14 - 32:18-that everybody looks at us
as right-wing extremists. -
32:18 - 32:23It makes me really hurt and angry.
My brother is a convicted anarchist. -
32:23 - 32:29He's been in court,
defending his opinions. -
32:29 - 32:32We've both been on
a neo-Nazi organization's hit list. -
32:32 - 32:37It feels strange to be accused of
founding that neo-Nazi organization. -
32:37 - 32:38It's really hard.
-
32:39 - 32:42I can only stand behind
my own politics. -
32:46 - 32:49When you have some influence
and people listen to you- -
32:49 - 32:54-you should use that position
to do something good. -
32:58 - 33:02When did you become
the Pirate Bay's spokesperson? -
33:02 - 33:07Well, it's not an official title, but
a function that has been given to me. -
33:07 - 33:12Nobody wanted to do that part,
but it was important to communicate- -
33:12 - 33:15-that the Pirate Bay
was doing something important. -
33:15 - 33:19Since nobody else wanted to,
I started doing it. -
33:20 - 33:27What was Peter Sunde's role
during that time? -
33:27 - 33:32He showed up
when we needed a public face. -
33:32 - 33:37Since neither I nor Fredrik
are suited in furnished rooms. -
33:37 - 33:41So he had nothing
to do with running the site. -
33:41 - 33:44-Or any design?
-No. -
33:44 - 33:46-Funding?
-No. -
33:51 - 33:55It's AIM. You told me it was MSN.
-
33:55 - 33:56What's the fucking difference?
-
33:57 - 34:01They're two different networks.
It's like IRCnet and EFnet. -
34:01 - 34:04-Come on!
-It was the Museum of Modern Art... -
34:04 - 34:07You're so loud!
You give me a headache. -
34:07 - 34:13-I'm half deaf, of course I shout.
-You're making me deaf. -
34:13 - 34:16He wants to spread his misery.
-
34:16 - 34:22-Why can't you hear anything?
-Sex, drugs and industry! -
34:22 - 34:25Sex?
-
34:26 - 34:30I've heard your sex stories.
-
34:33 - 34:35How much does a banner cost?
-
34:36 - 34:40You are asking me about
5-year-old figures again. -
34:40 - 34:45If you give me a day I can
probably find some examples. -
34:45 - 34:49But I can't give you
any exact figures. -
34:49 - 34:54Does $500 per week sound
like a reasonable amount? -
34:54 - 34:57That sounds about right.
It's within the right range at least. -
34:57 - 35:00Within the right range, you say.
-
35:00 - 35:06Was there an agreement about how
the ad revenue was to be divided? -
35:06 - 35:11-I have no idea.
-You don't. Fine. -
35:11 - 35:16-I'm so fucking tired.
-This will be your life for 5 years. -
35:16 - 35:19Are you Kafka or what?
-
35:19 - 35:22It feels like "The Trial"
all over again. -
35:22 - 35:25I might wake up as Gregor Samsa
and can't go to work- -
35:25 - 35:29-because I've turned into a beetle.
-
35:30 - 35:33When do you go back to Cambodia?
-
35:33 - 35:37-As soon as this shit is over.
-Quiet. It's a secret. -
35:51 - 35:55What are your thoughts
in general about the case? -
35:55 - 36:01It will be nice when it's over.
Tomorrow it's just half the day. -
36:01 - 36:05And after the closing arguments
we're finished. -
36:05 - 36:07How much money
are they looking for? -
36:07 - 36:11They want around
20 million Euro in damages. -
36:12 - 36:16But good luck finding that money.
I don't have that kind of money. -
36:17 - 36:21If they knew that our entire office
is a chat room on IRC- -
36:21 - 36:24-they wouldn't believe it.
-
36:25 - 36:30And they don't because they've been
asking questions about companies. -
36:30 - 36:34Yeah, we tried to get organized,
but we failed every single time. -
36:34 - 36:41I don't think they can grasp the idea
of an organization without a boss. -
36:41 - 36:46People have no idea how small we are.
We're just a couple of guys in a chat room. -
37:06 - 37:12I've argued that the yearly
profit is at least $170,000. -
37:12 - 37:15And that's the minimum.
-
37:16 - 37:20Gottfrid Svartholm Warg stated-
-
37:20 - 37:26-that the price for an ad on TPB
was $500 per week. -
37:26 - 37:30The report from
the Forensic Laboratory- -
37:31 - 37:36-states that
at the time of the raid- -
37:36 - 37:40- there were 64 unique ads.
-
37:40 - 37:46A rough estimate...
-
37:46 - 37:52$500 times 64-
-
37:52 - 37:55- gives us $34 000 per week.
-
37:56 - 38:02That amount times 52 weeks,
i.e. weeks per year- -
38:02 - 38:09-makes a yearly
revenue of $ 1700 000. -
38:09 - 38:13Thus The Pirate Bay isn't idealistic.
-
38:13 - 38:17It's pure commercial business.
-
38:27 - 38:31Here we go. 4 times 52.
-
38:34 - 38:38$110 000. That's a massive sum.
We never got that kind of money back then. -
38:38 - 38:42If you calculate with the right
number of ads - 4 instead of 64- -
38:42 - 38:44-you get a much more
realistic figure. -
38:44 - 38:47But he has miscalculated
so many things. -
38:47 - 38:53Did Roswall mean 64 different ads,
or 4 ads times a bunch of pages? -
38:53 - 38:57-Yes.
-What the hell! Is he insane? -
38:57 - 38:59He's right behind you.
-
39:02 - 39:06We're thinking of doing a
Bambuser press conference. -
39:06 - 39:10Hell no!! No! No!
They keep calling us organized. -
39:10 - 39:13They don't understand
what a joke that is. -
39:13 - 39:18It's disorganized crime.
-
39:19 - 39:24You mean for all of you? I think
you are going to get convicted. -
39:29 - 39:33Take a picture of Monique.
It's her copyright. -
39:34 - 39:37-I'm leaving.
-Bye bye. -
39:39 - 39:42Do you need a hand?
-
39:42 - 39:45This is the only help
you'll ever get from me. -
39:45 - 39:48-That's so kind.
-I am kind. -
39:49 - 39:52And I still have my soul, too.
-
39:52 - 39:55Here's Fredrik,
let's get out of here. -
39:59 - 40:04Let's calculate
how much money we have earned. -
40:04 - 40:08Let's start with
an exponential function. -
40:11 - 40:14-You can add times 64.
-Right. -
40:14 - 40:18And for N we choose
a random number. -
40:18 - 40:22Between 10 and 5 200.
Do you write code in Swedish? -
40:22 - 40:26Now take the square root
to see what Monique's soul costs. -
40:28 - 40:31The answer?
-
40:33 - 40:36Do it mathematically correct.
-
40:36 - 40:39Come on, not Pi.
-
40:43 - 40:48He's mad.
Go check that it's correct. -
40:48 - 40:51Okay. I'll give you some cred.
-
40:51 - 40:56It's in my muscle memory. I can't
remember it writing with a pen. -
40:56 - 40:58I have to emulate a keyboard.
-
40:58 - 41:01So what are you doing
at 11.00 on the 17th of April? -
41:02 - 41:04Queuing outside the court?
-
41:04 - 41:09-11 am means 5 pm local time.
-I was thinking the same thing. -
41:09 - 41:12Gottfrid, can you sit over here?
-
41:12 - 41:17I'm not taking part in any fucking
press conference. I'm sick of it! -
41:17 - 41:23-It's in English.
-I'm so fucking tired of cameras. -
41:24 - 41:27-And fucking bullshit!
-Sit here anyway. It's the last time. -
41:27 - 41:30Nein.
-
41:33 - 41:35Hi everybody.
-
41:35 - 41:39I'm here and together with me
I have some of the guys from TPB. -
41:39 - 41:43Take your time and ask
some questions to the guys- -
41:43 - 41:47-and see what they have to say.
-
41:48 - 41:51-I didn't know we were that boring.
-You are that boring. -
41:51 - 41:56Because you're not part of this.
Film him! -
41:57 - 41:59Anakata!
-
42:10 - 42:14Today the court will decide if
the men behind the Pirate Bay- -
42:15 - 42:17-are guilty of
copyright infringement. -
42:17 - 42:22Follow the verdict live on svt.se
from 11.00. -
42:25 - 42:31No, but... Sure, but don't worry.
-
42:31 - 42:36Because I'm not worried myself.
But I'll talk to you later. Bye. -
42:38 - 42:42Dad was more nervous than I am.
-
42:46 - 42:52The verdict is in for the Pirate
Bay trial. It's 11 o'clock. -
42:52 - 42:57All four defendants are sentenced
to one year in prison. -
42:57 - 43:02The offense is called "assisting
copyright infringement". -
43:02 - 43:07- So one year imprisonment...
-This is so insane! -
43:14 - 43:17This must be a joke.
-
43:22 - 43:26Take it easy, mom.
Nothing will happen. -
43:26 - 43:28This is going to take 5 years.
Take it easy. -
43:29 - 43:35The District Court is ruled by
politicians. We call it the Dice Court. -
43:41 - 43:44Just stay calm.
-
43:45 - 43:51But I can't talk right now. I have
to watch the press conference. -
43:51 - 43:55Okay. Take care.
-
43:55 - 44:00The District Court has announced
the verdict in the Pirate Bay trial. -
44:00 - 44:06We have estimated the damages
to approximately $4,5 million. -
44:06 - 44:10Fuck you. He's going to get
a good job in Hollywood after this. -
44:15 - 44:18This is so insane!
-
44:25 - 44:27The hottest set up ever.
-
44:28 - 44:31I don't have time right now,
I have to decline. -
44:32 - 44:36No, I'm the only one in Sweden. The
others are in the desert or the jungle. -
44:36 - 44:41No, they are not going
to send us to jail whatsoever. -
44:41 - 44:45The way it works in Sweden
is that they can't... -
44:45 - 44:50...do anything about the case
before we can't appeal anymore. -
44:54 - 44:58-What are we going to call this?
-LOL? -
44:58 - 45:01For the lulz.
-
45:01 - 45:04If this was a movie
this is where the heroes- -
45:04 - 45:07-encounter their first problem.
-
45:07 - 45:11Karate Kid got bullied in the
beginning and got beaten up. -
45:11 - 45:14And we've just been beaten up.
-
45:14 - 45:20Thanks, Hollywood, for teaching
us that the good guys win in the end. -
45:20 - 45:25In total they wanted around
100 million Swedish crowns, right? -
45:26 - 45:29And they got 30 million.
-
45:29 - 45:34But they could have gotten 1 billion,
it doesn't matter because... -
45:34 - 45:38We can't pay and we wouldn't pay.
-
45:38 - 45:42This verdict makes me upset
to the bone. -
45:42 - 45:47There is no chance in hell
this verdict will hold in an appeal. -
45:47 - 45:53I will cross the creek, the stream
and the Atlantic for a redress. -
45:53 - 45:57It means a lot
to have taken a stand. -
45:57 - 46:02It's important to re-establish Sweden
as a state governed by law. -
46:02 - 46:06The judge in the Pirate Bay trial
is accused of bias. -
46:06 - 46:10People are demanding a retrial.
-
46:10 - 46:17Last night I learned about
the news that blew up today. -
46:17 - 46:20The judge in the Pirate Bay trial-
-
46:20 - 46:26-is a member of organizations that
are working with copyright issues. -
46:26 - 46:30Organizations that the attorneys
from the plaintiff's are part of. -
46:31 - 46:35I was horrified and shocked
to learn about this. -
46:35 - 46:40-Why didn't you inform the court?
-Good question. I didn't. -
46:40 - 46:43Yes, I know how he thought.
-
46:43 - 46:47"My friends will be happy
if I rule in their favor." -
46:47 - 46:50It's ridiculous. I didn't think
the legal system was that bad. -
46:50 - 46:55-Was it a correct decision?
-That's for others to decide. -
47:11 - 47:18It's Tomas, the judge.
He's the judge in the District Court. -
47:18 - 47:24He's a member of the
Swedish Association for Copyright. -
47:24 - 47:27That's the whole point.
-
47:27 - 47:32He sits in the board for the Swedish
Association for Industrial Rights. -
47:32 - 47:38These two organizations
have a common publication, NIR. -
47:38 - 47:43And all the lawyers
that assist the prosecution: -
47:43 - 47:46Peter Danowsky, Henrik Pontén
and Monique Wadsted. -
47:46 - 47:50They're all members
of the same organization. -
47:54 - 48:00So he looks very mixed up
in these people's world. -
48:00 - 48:05From a graphical point of view
it's very obvious. -
48:05 - 48:07I can't say if he was biased-
-
48:07 - 48:11-but just the fact that he
withheld this information- -
48:11 - 48:16-makes him unsuitable
as a judge in this case. -
48:16 - 48:20The verdict is questionable, since he
might be perceived as being biased. -
48:47 - 48:52-Here's my pirate copy.
-I have a parasite. -
49:26 - 49:29-Is this you? Fredrik?
-Yes. -
49:29 - 49:35-What's your job?
- IT. Internet. -
49:35 - 49:40Because of our tradition
and the regulations of the village- -
49:40 - 49:43-you have to pay for the engagement.
-
49:43 - 49:48How much would you like
to pay for the engagement? -
49:49 - 49:54$6,000?
-
49:58 - 50:04If you leave her you have to pay
the bride dowry times two. -
50:04 - 50:08That means $12,000. Agreed?
-
50:08 - 50:13Please write your name and sign it.
-
50:19 - 50:22Do you like it? Good.
-
50:28 - 50:33-Yummy! Yummy!
-Hello! -
50:33 - 50:37If it didn't cost me $12,000
I would divorce you. -
50:45 - 50:51It's always this way with the
Pirate Bay. Chaos and cheating. -
50:52 - 50:56Last Monday a verdict came
from the Stockholm District court- -
50:56 - 50:58-where Judge Norström is chairman.
-
50:58 - 51:05Black Internet, the ISP
for Pirate Bay's ISP must quit- -
51:05 - 51:08-and if they continue to
give access to the Pirate Bay- -
51:09 - 51:12-they will be fined $75 000 per day.
-
51:12 - 51:16Then all hell broke loose.
-
51:19 - 51:23So they're trying legal tricks
and we're trying technical tricks. -
51:23 - 51:29It's like a constant tactical game
with different weapons. -
51:33 - 51:37When we realized that
the Pirate Bay was down- -
51:37 - 51:41-we looked around,
because we always have backups. -
51:41 - 51:48Then I realized that the Pirate Party
had registered their own ISP. -
51:48 - 51:52The Pirate Party works for reformed
copyright laws, an open internet- -
51:52 - 51:54-and free access to culture.
-
51:56 - 51:59I realized that if we're hosted
by the Pirate Party- -
51:59 - 52:06-it means that if someone closes them
down, they're closing down the party. -
52:06 - 52:11That means closing down a party
that represents Sweden in the EU. -
52:11 - 52:15That would be political censorship
on the highest level. -
52:17 - 52:21If you're hosted by the Pirate Party
you get political protection. -
52:22 - 52:25You could say that you get
diplomatic immunity. -
52:28 - 52:32After days of speculation "Rapport"
can now reveal that the Pirate Party- -
52:33 - 52:37-takes over the responsibility for
the security of WikiLeaks' servers. -
52:38 - 52:42WikiLeaks or the Pirate Party copied
what they had done with TPB. -
52:43 - 52:47Giving WikiLeaks protection
by a political party- -
52:47 - 52:51-by sharing
the same internet connection. -
52:51 - 52:56Every leak on WikiLeaks has been released on
TPB since there is no censorship there. -
52:58 - 53:01Gottfrid is good at tech stuff
and encryption- -
53:02 - 53:05-and he's worked on
many important projects. -
53:05 - 53:08Like "Collateral Murder"
that made WikiLeaks famous. -
53:15 - 53:17"Look at those dead bastards"
-
53:23 - 53:27Julian has a lot of respect
for Gottfrid. -
53:27 - 53:32I remember when Gottfrid said:
"There's a new customer, WikiLeaks." -
53:32 - 53:35"They need help
because they're under attack." -
53:36 - 53:40The first time I got in contact
was when we had to pay a bill. -
53:41 - 53:44Because no one, and
that was a constant problem... -
53:44 - 53:46No one remembered
the stupid customer number. -
53:47 - 53:50And no one wanted to say
anything on the phone. -
53:50 - 53:56In 2008 I flew to Sweden
to pay the bill in cash. -
53:56 - 53:59Gottfrid always said he didn't
want money from WikiLeaks. -
53:59 - 54:04I flew there and paid for
one year and a bit in advance. -
54:04 - 54:08Julian was with me.
He flew in as well. -
54:08 - 54:13And we arranged this meeting
with Gottfrid to hand over the money. -
54:13 - 54:17And it was one of the
weirdest incidents in my life. -
54:17 - 54:23He came to the hotel and he had
someone waiting outside in a car. -
54:23 - 54:31And they had an agreement that
Gottfrid would be near a window. -
54:31 - 54:35So he stood there in this lobby.
-
54:35 - 54:40With his long hair,
looking completely... -
54:40 - 54:44-Strange! Fucked up.
-And he behaved really strange. -
54:44 - 54:51And every 30 seconds he turned to
see if the guy in the car was there. -
54:51 - 54:55And Julian and I were standing
there and we basically thought- -
54:55 - 54:59-that we would go hang out
or something. -
54:59 - 55:04So we asked him if he
wanted to come up to the room. -
55:04 - 55:10And he was like: "No, no, I can't."
He was turning around. -
55:10 - 55:12Never heard that before.
-
55:12 - 55:16And then handing over some cash
and the guy jumped in the car- -
55:16 - 55:20-and they drove off
and we felt like... -
55:20 - 55:23That was meeting PRQ for us.
-
55:26 - 55:29A warm welcome to Peter Sunde.
-
55:31 - 55:36First question: Are you a killer
that ruined the whole industry? -
55:36 - 55:40I would love to take credit for it but I can't.
Sorry. They did it themselves. -
55:40 - 55:44-There is a law case now with you.
-Just one? -
55:44 - 55:47I don't know how many but
some discussions going around. -
55:48 - 55:51You had a new idea: Flattr.
-
55:51 - 55:55It comes from the discussions
we had during the Pirate Bay. -
55:55 - 56:01There were two sides. One side said
there is no problem with downloading. -
56:01 - 56:05The other side said they're not
making any money from the internet. -
56:05 - 56:11-And there was nothing happening.
-Can you explain how Flattr works? -
56:12 - 56:17You as a user sign up
and you put money into an account. -
56:17 - 56:19You decide how much
you want to spend per month. -
56:19 - 56:25Then you find Flattr buttons. They
look like the Facebook Like buttons. -
56:25 - 56:28If you click it we remember it
until the end of the month. -
56:28 - 56:30At the end of the month
we count your clicks- -
56:31 - 56:33-and we share your money equally
amongst them. -
56:33 - 56:39-Where is the money going?
-It's going to the creators. -
56:39 - 56:41That's the whole concept.
-
56:49 - 56:55The trial in the Court of Appeal
against the Pirate Bay began today. -
56:55 - 56:58Let's shake hands today again.
-
56:58 - 57:02-It's a sick team, right?
-I'm soaking wet. -
57:03 - 57:07To rent a car costs $400 per week.
-
57:07 - 57:10I bought that one for $600.
I'll use it for 6 weeks. -
57:10 - 57:14-Is it legal?
-Sure. I've even paid the taxes. -
57:15 - 57:22I don't really care about parking
tickets - I have a $7 million debt. -
57:25 - 57:30The Court of Appeal, please.
-
57:32 - 57:36-Is Gottfrid coming?
-I highly doubt that. -
57:36 - 57:39-Unless he teleports himself.
-Okay. -
57:39 - 57:45He wrote this morning that he's hospitalized
with a parasite infection in Cambodia. -
57:47 - 57:51So yes, it's highly unlikely
that he'll come. -
57:54 - 57:59-Do you have any other trials?
-The civil cases. -
57:59 - 58:02-The penalty fine stuff.
-How many are they? -
58:03 - 58:07One in Italy, one in Holland...
-
58:07 - 58:12One in Denmark that we're not
summoned to, and one in Norway. -
58:12 - 58:16Kuwait, Ireland. Anything else?
-
58:27 - 58:29What is the most important?
-
58:30 - 58:36I believe it's very important to look
at how our society ought to be. -
58:36 - 58:39Not just rule so that big companies
can make a bigger profit. -
58:41 - 58:44How does this feel? 8 days to go.
-
58:44 - 58:47It's boring
that we're just watching video. -
58:47 - 58:52You wanted to speak for yourself
but weren't allowed to, right? -
58:52 - 58:55I think the new court system
is really bad. -
58:55 - 59:00You can't introduce new material.
We don't even need to be in court. -
59:00 - 59:04They could just take the old material
and rule from that. -
59:05 - 59:07Hey, thanks for coming!
-
59:08 - 59:12-How are you?
-I'm really sick. -
59:12 - 59:16Then why the hell
are you shaking my hand? -
59:16 - 59:21-He's also sick.
-What's wrong with you? -
59:21 - 59:26I have a cold and an eye infection.
I didn't sleep at all last night. -
59:26 - 59:30I just got an SMS
from Gottfrid's mother. -
59:30 - 59:37She wrote that he is still
in Cambodia. -
59:37 - 59:43She said that he is really ill.
-
59:43 - 59:47He's had problems before as well.
-
59:47 - 59:52When you look at him, health
isn't the first thing you think of. -
59:56 - 60:01-What are you working with today?
-I run websites. -
60:01 - 60:04In Cambodia or Thailand?
-
60:04 - 60:09With the internet you can work anywhere
as long as you have Internet access. -
60:14 - 60:17State prosecutor Roswall accused
the defendants of contempt- -
60:17 - 60:21-since they have continued
to run the site after the verdict. -
60:21 - 60:25He wants the one year imprisonment
for all four to be affirmed. -
61:08 - 61:12The tunnel computer is located in
Pionen with the Pirate Party. -
61:15 - 61:19Pionen is a show-off in Apple style.
-
61:22 - 61:27The tunnel computer is the entrance
from the internet to the Pirate Bay. -
61:27 - 61:30Then everything happens
in the background somewhere. -
61:31 - 61:35On the real servers,
that are hidden. -
61:38 - 61:41Right now we're on our way
to the real mountain. -
62:34 - 62:37That's an expensive table.
-
62:39 - 62:43-6 cores?
-12 cores. -
62:43 - 62:464 CPU's with 12 cores.
-
62:46 - 62:51Here. The Pirate Bay.
And that's all. -
62:51 - 62:53We run an efficient ship.
-
63:02 - 63:07Where are the people
who run the Pirate Bay based now? -
63:07 - 63:12I don't know. Ask the Pirate Party,
they are hosting the bandwidth. -
63:12 - 63:21But it has changed owners after
we passed it on, too. Once or twice. -
63:21 - 63:25We miss the support from the
Pirate Party in the District Court. -
63:26 - 63:29-With buses and stuff.
-The buses were the Pirate Bureau. -
63:29 - 63:34Was it the Pirate Bureau?
With trumpets and flags and stuff. -
63:34 - 63:38It feels like they
have forgotten about us. -
63:41 - 63:45The pirate movement's idea
to fight for free file sharing- -
63:45 - 63:49-just isn't accepted anymore.
-
63:49 - 63:55It was just a little fad.
I never thought it would survive. -
64:02 - 64:05-I don't want them.
-You don't have to sign them. -
64:05 - 64:08But by law you have been served.
-
64:08 - 64:12What does that mean?
-
64:13 - 64:17-I can't force you to sign.
-No, you can't. -
64:17 - 64:20-But you've been served.
-Who are you? -
64:20 - 64:24-I'm the subpoena server.
-Can I see your ID? -
64:30 - 64:36Can I see the last 4 digits, please?
-
64:36 - 64:41-You should quit smoking.
-Do I smell? -
64:41 - 64:46This is stressful for me, too.
-
64:46 - 64:49-Does it feel bad to do this?
-Kind of. -
64:49 - 64:51-But they pay you well?
-No. -
64:51 - 64:53-Why do you do it?
-It's my job. -
64:53 - 64:57Do you have kids? Then I
understand, but get a better job. -
64:57 - 64:59I've been thinking about that.
-
64:59 - 65:05-Is this from Danowsky?
-I don't know what it's about. -
65:05 - 65:08-So you don't know where it's from?
-Holland. -
65:09 - 65:13-Okay. Good luck.
-Thanks. Likewise. -
65:16 - 65:19-He's got a great job.
-I feel sorry for him. -
65:19 - 65:22I don't. He's like a meter maid.
-
65:24 - 65:26Did you see the debate on TV?
-
65:26 - 65:32A young girl said: "This is not about
young people wanting to commit crimes." -
65:33 - 65:36"They just have
a different consumption pattern." -
65:36 - 65:41"They just want to consume
movies and records that way." -
65:41 - 65:47"It's horrible to hunt them.
The market must adjust instead." -
66:08 - 66:12Life is cooler
than the internet. -
66:12 - 66:19That's probably a really
radical opinion around here. -
66:19 - 66:23After the cold war
they had to invent enemies- -
66:24 - 66:28-that you couldn't even kill.
-
66:28 - 66:31Terror, piracy and drugs.
-
66:31 - 66:35It's obvious that PRQ
has had customers- -
66:35 - 66:41-that some say are connected to
terror, piracy and drugs. -
66:41 - 66:44That can't be denied.
-
66:44 - 66:48I guess all three of them at the
same time for one single customer. -
66:48 - 66:52You mean Gottfrid Svartholm Warg!
-
66:52 - 66:55He's a pirate and a junkie.
-
66:55 - 66:59And when you talk to him
you get a little scared. -
66:59 - 67:02You could say he's a Taliban.
-
67:11 - 67:19I'm back from Cambodia.
I've been there for a month. -
67:19 - 67:23I've been really worried
about Gottfrid's health. -
67:25 - 67:28I don't want to talk
too much about... -
67:28 - 67:32He hasn't been using stuff
constantly. -
67:32 - 67:36It's been every now and then.
When he has a deadline. -
67:36 - 67:41He gets stressed by his work
when something has to be done. -
67:41 - 67:44So then he does
a whole lot of drugs. -
67:45 - 67:49I just couldn't stand by and watch.
-
67:49 - 67:53I've seen friends struggle
with drugs before. -
67:53 - 68:00And it's... What can I say?
It's tough. -
68:00 - 68:05It's not something you want
to see a friend go through. -
68:25 - 68:28-What are we gonna do?
-Crush racism! -
68:28 - 68:30-When?
-Now! -
68:31 - 68:33-When, when, when?
-Now, now, now! -
68:33 - 68:36-What are we gonna do?
-Crush racism! -
68:38 - 68:43Brokep/Peter is a fucking
vegetarian leftist bitch ass bastard. -
68:43 - 68:46But he's got balls because
he's in the Pirate Bay? -
68:46 - 68:49-He's giving all the interviews.
-He's still a bitch. -
68:50 - 68:57He does it because of ideological
pussy-inflicted instincts. -
68:57 - 69:02He needs to look himself in the ass
and take his own life in his hands. -
69:03 - 69:08If he's had a beer or two, he becomes
the most annoying person on earth. -
69:08 - 69:11The problem is he takes a
couple of beers at least everyday. -
69:12 - 69:16Isn't there some connection
to right-wing parties in Sweden? -
69:16 - 69:20Carl Lundström,
one of the co-defendants- -
69:20 - 69:24-was a right-wing extremist before.
-
69:25 - 69:28He founded a lot of crap.
But in the end- -
69:28 - 69:32-he married a Jewish girl.
He has four kids. -
69:32 - 69:39To call him a right-wing extremist
was correct 10-20 years ago. -
69:40 - 69:42Now I wouldn't say that.
-
69:42 - 69:47If Carl Lundström
is xenophobic then so am I. -
69:47 - 69:52Every time I've been beaten or
robbed, it's been by immigrants. -
69:53 - 69:57And I don't mean seventh-generation
Finnish immigrants. -
69:57 - 69:59I mean these
dirty fucking immigrants. -
69:59 - 70:05What can I say. He's stupid
when it comes to things like that. -
70:05 - 70:10He has never thought for himself.
He just says what his parents say. -
70:10 - 70:14He's an alcoholic racist asshole.
-
70:14 - 70:17-But I still love him.
-And you know what? -
70:17 - 70:23All the emails in the Pirate Bay
trial comes from Anakata. -
70:23 - 70:27Anakata the don't-know-how
to-fucking-encrypt-his-computer! -
70:27 - 70:34Even Peter and I encrypted
our emails. But Gottfrid didn't! -
70:34 - 70:39Gottfrid is the stupidest person
in the entire history of IT. -
70:43 - 70:46Yeah, the Pirate Bay is really tight!
-
70:51 - 70:54I have no batteries left.
-
71:02 - 71:05I'm surprised there are no cameras.
-
71:09 - 71:12-Yes, today is the last day.
-Finally! I'm going home. -
71:14 - 71:19-You can throw them away.
-You've been served anyway. -
71:19 - 71:22Is this gonna come on YouTube?
-
71:22 - 71:25-You can throw them away.
-You do it. -
71:25 - 71:30-You can't force me to take them.
-You've been served. -
71:30 - 71:33It was you who dropped the papers.
-
71:51 - 71:54Come on!
-
71:54 - 71:57I want to sleep.
-
72:10 - 72:12Sabaidee!
-
72:17 - 72:20When I get acquitted tomorrow
I'm going to sue them for millions. -
72:20 - 72:23Billions! At least!
-
72:23 - 72:29We can't be worse than they are with fantasy
numbers. I landed in Sweden on Saturday. -
72:29 - 72:35I'm helping out with the new Leaks
project's servers in the server hall. -
72:36 - 72:40Everybody has left WikiLeaks
except for Julian and maybe Anakata. -
72:40 - 72:43Because he's like
in love with Julian. -
72:43 - 72:48Fuck! Blink if you're gonna
turn, you fucking anus! -
72:48 - 72:51Goddamnit!
-
72:56 - 72:59-How are you?
-I'm fine. -
73:02 - 73:05Nice to see you again.
You're good? -
73:15 - 73:20Do these people know what's
happening in your life today? -
73:20 - 73:22-No.
-Not even your wife? -
73:22 - 73:24Yes.
-
73:40 - 73:46I don't know. For Fredrik it's easy.
He can just avoid going home. -
73:46 - 73:50What do you mean? I don't have
any plans on going home. -
73:50 - 73:53I really don't know.
I don't have a clue. -
73:53 - 73:57I'm hesitating. But I won't
accept a conviction. -
73:57 - 74:02I can serve a prison sentence.
But why do it if I don't have to? -
74:02 - 74:06There's really no reason
for you to do that. -
74:06 - 74:09Look around. Why shouldn't I
stay here for 5 years? -
74:13 - 74:16You can't go to jail for something
you haven't done. -
74:16 - 74:19Political exile is what it's about.
-
74:22 - 74:26I don't want to become a martyr.
-
74:26 - 74:29But I don't think I'll be convicted.
-
74:29 - 74:34Knock on wood... But we'll see.
-
74:36 - 74:38Cheers!
-
74:55 - 74:57Beer man!
-
75:04 - 75:08Are you going to get drunk
from happiness or sadness? -
75:08 - 75:11Can I tell you in 12 minutes?
-
75:13 - 75:18Hey! The internet just synched up!
I think it's an omen. -
75:18 - 75:20Stop lagging!
-
75:20 - 75:25"If TPB founders are acquitted, it's
a victory for internet freedom." -
75:25 - 75:28Check out my eye infection!
-
75:28 - 75:33"The pirate Gottfrid Svartholm Warg
handed in a medical statement." -
75:33 - 75:36Gottfrid Svartholm was "sick".
-
75:45 - 75:49"...was shortened but the damages
were raised." We're convicted. -
75:49 - 75:53We're convicted. Domstol.se. It's Spam.
-
75:54 - 75:59Copy the link.
The link underneath! -
76:04 - 76:09"The Court of Appeal considers the
defendants' contribution proven." -
76:09 - 76:12"Fredrik Neij is sentenced
to 10 months, Peter Sunde 8"- -
76:13 - 76:15-"and Carl Lundström to 4 months."
-
76:15 - 76:17-What about Gottfrid?
-He's not in the case. -
76:17 - 76:19Right.
-
76:21 - 76:25The damages went up
from $4,5 million to $6,6 million. -
76:28 - 76:32Well... We lost.
Fucking idiots. -
76:33 - 76:36I'm calling my mom.
-
76:36 - 76:41Hi. I just wanted to say that they
gave us a shorter sentence. -
76:43 - 76:47But we're appealing.
8 months instead of one year. -
76:47 - 76:52I just wanted to call and
tell you that. So don't be worried. -
76:52 - 76:56I have 59 pages I have to read.
-
76:57 - 77:00Okay, great. Take care.
-
77:10 - 77:13Fucking idiots.
-
77:13 - 77:18-The internet just died!
-Goddamnit! Yes, it did. -
77:18 - 77:21Fucking Windows crap!
-
77:21 - 77:24The statute of limitation is 5 years.
-
77:24 - 77:26They can't issue an international
warrant of arrest. -
77:26 - 77:30I can sit here and jerk off
for 5 years. And I will. -
77:31 - 77:33Are you gonna masturbate
for 5 years? In one go? -
77:33 - 77:35I'll do it on and off.
-
77:36 - 77:39This means that
the internet is criminalized. -
77:39 - 77:44They label the internet as a place where
crimes are committed. "Close it down." -
77:44 - 77:50We're not even on BBC or CNN yet!
That irritates me! Come on! -
77:51 - 77:57I guess we have to live with the fact
that we're not important anymore. -
78:02 - 78:07-The Bay!
-When does the internet come back? -
78:07 - 78:11Maybe in 2 hours. If we're lucky.
-
79:15 - 79:18Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends.
-
79:18 - 79:22We are meeting today to discuss-
-
79:23 - 79:27-one of the hot issues right now
in the European Parliament. -
79:27 - 79:32Thank you very much for having me.
It's very brave to invite me here. -
79:32 - 79:36I've been a pain in the ass for the
copyright industry for a long time. -
79:36 - 79:41I'm one of the spokespersons
for the Pirate Bay. -
79:41 - 79:46TPB is the largest file
sharing system in the world. -
79:46 - 79:51It's ten times larger than Napster
at it's peak, and it's still growing.
