All language subtitles for The.Pirate.Bay.2024.S01.E03.REPACK.1080p.WEB-DL.H264-FLIX.en

The series is inspired by true events.

The course of events has been dramatized.

So?

What... what are we supposed to do now?

I have a contact at Bahnhof.

There is an Enigma server there, which is an important central server... - Wait a second.

At Bahnhof?

Is the operation run by internet service providers?

I don't believe that Bahnhof even gets to know -

what is in its data center.

I can obtain the log files and send them to you in the chat. - That's not enough.

I need to access the server to verify the files. - That's not possible.

100,000 is a lot of money. I want concrete evidence.

I have to go underground if this gets revealed.

We take care of our information sources. Our conversation will not be exposed.

If only you knew.

Interfering with the community could cause problems for both.

But Scene doesn't like Pirate Bay.

Not at all, but it doesn't like the Anti-Piracy Office either.

If you arrange 100,000 crowns, I'll take care of it.

Wait a moment.

No, just kids. Three Swedish guys.

I just saw the numbers – unbelievable.

Thanks, brother. Bye, bye.

"Between 10:00 PM and 3:00 AM, internet traffic dropped sharply, -

which is likely due to technical issues related to The Pirate Bay."

Do you understand? Pirate Bay is the internet.

He's calling.

How's it going, Oded? - Hi, Anakata. All good?

Yeah. Tiamo is here too. - I don't see you.

That's the point. - Got it.

Congratulations! You’ve discovered the money pit.

Although if I understand correctly, you’re not making any money from it.

True. To be honest, our situation is now unsustainable.

We are dependent on donations from the Pirate Bureau -

and our own savings.

Considering how quickly the number of users is growing, -

this can’t continue in the long run.

I understand. How much does it cost to run a site like this?

$10,000 a month? $20,000?

Donations don’t add up to such sums. - True.

The situation would be different if you sold advertising space on your site.

With advertisers' help, you could be as revolutionary as you want.

As long as the user base grows, -

and advertisers get their clicks and money.

What do you say?

We need to consider our reputation. What would the supporters say if we earned money from this?

Sharing free information is not free.

Money enables growth to be even bigger.

Don’t you want that, Minister of Propaganda?

Do you trust that Daniel? What kind of deal? - Fifty-fifty.

Kebab without red onion, extra sauce. And a Coke.

Acquiring ads doesn’t really cost that much. We developed everything.

It feels a bit wrong. - What if you were just grateful?

It must not be revealed that we are getting private money. - Of course not.

Does everything go to expenses? - Yeah. Kebab plate with fries.

Next. What would you like? - Falafel wrap without sauce. What?

So Enigma is the server for Pirate Bay? - Not just that.

It and other sites use the server for movie distribution.

I don't know... - We would now have access to it.

Sources have been used before. So what’s the hold-up? - 100,000.

That’s pocket change compared to how much our clients are losing.

If we can prove that one service provider's server -

is full of copyrighted material, -

we can make something happen.

How could we even pay such sums? Are you asking for a receipt?

We can manage without guys like that. Do you even know who he is?

We should stop piracy, but the means are limited.

How many meetings have we sat in?

They don't care one bit!

Now there would be a door open to the heart of piracy, Bahnhof.

It’s one of our largest service providers. What?

I'm sorry, Henrik. The risk is too great.

As I said, we're looking into it. - How exactly are you looking into it?

We are looking into it. - Rather, you are turning a blind eye.

Should copyrighted content be freely downloadable?

Stefan. Sweden is becoming a paradise for piracy.

We need to focus on other crimes. There are economic crimes, child pornography.

Downloading is not at the top of the priority list.

I understand you have your hands full, but a crime is a crime.

I am the whole department. Only I am investigating these cases.

The investigation requires that we receive a justified request for investigation.

Quite complicated if I have to do both your job and mine.

Hey, I'm on my way now. Can we all gather together?

Looks really professional.

Carlin thinks it looks really good.

...copyright crime...

They don't understand anything then!

The MPAA idiots are sending lawyers after us again!

MPAA stands for this: Motion Picture of Anakata's Ass.

Could you... Damn it.

Good recipient.

From now on, contact us regardless... You're too close.

...regardless of the approach will lead to the following actions:

A: we will file a lawsuit for harassment, -

B: we will notify your bar association about it, -

that you are sending unfounded threats.

We and our lawyers believe that you are damn idiots...

Hey, John. - "We believe that you are damn idiots."

"You should shove the batons up your ass. Go to hell."

Always just as polite, Anakata.

What’s really going on there? Have you talked to the police yet?

I have, but the cybercrime unit isn’t focusing on investigating piracy.

What? It’s your job to get them to focus!

This is progressing too slowly.

We need to prepare the case for the police.

Alright. Could you take care of it?

Hey. Monique Wadsted. - Robert.

David. - Welcome. Let’s go over here.

We can link the aliases Anakata and Tiamo to the homepage, -

but there might be more of them.

The server's IP address can be traced to the Stockholm area.

We don’t know much more than that, because they are cautious. - That’s clear.

They know they are operating illegally. How do we proceed?

By tracing data centers that can handle such traffic -

and want the sites as their clients.

This is familiar to us.

We will find them sooner or later. - Preferably sooner.

The site must be independent. It cannot rely on the Pirate Bureau.

Are ads really the only way to get to market?

It happens at someone else's expense. - The money goes to maintenance.

Pirate Bay is the world's most used and efficient information distribution channel.

30 percent of the world's internet traffic.

An entire ecosystem could be created around Pirate Bay, -

where people could discuss and meet.

We could be a significant equalizer in society.

That would be great, but not at any cost.

What do you mean... - Did you talk to Mikael?

The site is not illegal, so advertising it isn't either.

No, I was just thinking...

It just can't look like you are getting rich off of this.

Hello! - Master Chef! Thanks.

Make sure to confirm with Mikael. - Let's do that.

Hi!

A free movie festival showing downloaded films.

How cool is that! - We could get new members and new ideas.

At least the industry is furious. - A blow to Pontén's face.

Rouge: Access to Enigma secured. Do you have the money?

Yes.

I got in.

So you got in? - That’s what I just said.

I'll start by searching for movie files.

This is quite something!

There are quite a lot of them. - There certainly are.

Check if that's also on Pirate Bay.

It's just one server and there is copyrighted material there.

The raid needs to be carried out the day after tomorrow, so get enough people.

Softronic has a couple of guys who could be utilized.

Really? I need a court order for the home search. - Of course.

The suspicions relate to the illegal distribution of movies.

How does Bahnhof know about this?

We apply the third party principle.

A home search at a third party that might not know about the crime.

The Enforcement Authority will carry out the investigation. - I don't know...

I already spoke with Lars-Owe. We just need your approval now.

I'll find out what I can do.

Have there been any updates? - None at all.

See you tomorrow then. - Good night.

Pontén. - This is Tomas Norström.

I went through the material.

Permission granted. You will receive it tomorrow morning.

Did we get it?

Let’s figure it out...

Lars-Owe Kjellquist from the Enforcement Authority.

Everyone stop working and turn your keyboards upside down.

What's going on? - I'm from the Enforcement Authority. Who are you?

Jon Karlung, CEO. - Take us to the data center.

This way.

Here you go.

Micke. Go over there and watch that they don't open anything.

Greetings, Ann. Jon Karlung from Bahnhof.

Could you come over here?

Dagens Nyheter might be interested in what's going on here right now.

Lars-Owe. - Pontén here. How's it going?

No servers have been found, so this will take a while. - Alright.

I assume you know what you are looking for? The server is clearly marked.

Of course. I will call when... Bye for now.

Hi, I'm Ann from Dagens Nyheter.

Why is the Enforcement Authority raiding Bahnhof? - I won't comment.

We might have found something.

Look.

Don’t you dare take pictures.

It's connected to their network. Should I disconnect it?

Do it.

CONNECTION TO SERVER LOST

Police Cybersecurity Department. - Pontén from the Anti-Piracy Office.

I would like to file a criminal complaint.

What crime? - Copyright infringement.

How long will it take? - Hard to say.

The encryption is quite airtight.

Step back a bit. - Sure.

Police.

Police.

We are confiscating the server.

We are here on official business. What is the police doing here?

Now this is a police matter. It concerns copyright infringement.

Stop it.

Get out of my office. - Talk to the police if you have any concerns.

You are not a police officer. Get out of my office.

Let's be in touch, Jon. Thanks.

Hello? - Hi!

Well, well! That went quite well.

It did.

PIRACY IS A THING OF THE PAST

Scum.

The world's largest network for illegal downloads.

We do not tolerate encouragement to steal.

Did you read the whole article?

Pontén complained there, -

that reading emails doesn’t require a 10-meg speed.

"It is used for downloading movies." - Idiot.

Think about it, they raided Bahnhof.

We will not be hit the same way. - How can you be sure?

We are obsessed with Pontén and the MPAA.

Exactly. That’s why we need to build a fortress!

A free zone where all websites are welcome.

We will move all our servers away from Carl.

To here? - To here. Including Pirate Bay's.

We should have done that from the beginning. Everything must be under our control.

We guarantee anonymity to our clients.

The money goes to that.

Our name is PRQ. - PRQ?

Periquito, it means budgerigar in Spanish.

Small, colorful, and beautiful. Lives mainly in small flocks.

It wants to be free.

Okay. What about Peter? - No, we’re doing this.

This is our thing.

Okay. PRQ. Cool!

"The anti-piracy office is a significant player."

"It has struck against piracy in Sweden and across Europe."

This is the MPAA's press release.

Tomorrow there will be SVT's Debatt. - Finally.

Are you ready? - I am.

Now it begins.

Welcome to the press conference, -

regarding the raid on Bahnhof.

I will hand over the floor to Henrik Pontén, who will explain further.

After that, there will be time for questions. - Thank you.

On March 10th, the police and the enforcement authority -

based on a court decision informed by the anti-piracy office -

conducted a search of the premises of the service provider Bahnhof.

The goal was to find the server referred to as Enigma, -

which contains copyrighted material.

A digital investigation has now been conducted on the server, -

which showed that the server had 1,800 movies, -

5,000 software programs, and 450,000 audio files.

This is a significant blow against piracy and a big day for us, -

who believe that artists, writers, and directors -

deserve to be compensated for their work.

Are there any questions? - Caroline Olsson from Aftonbladet.

How do you respond to Jon Karlung's accusations from Bahnhof that -

that you used a mole to hide the evidence from Bahnhof?

We did not use a mole but rather a source of information.

No one has also hidden any evidence.

We received information about the server and took action.

According to Jon Karlung, the mole who calls themselves Rouge, -

received 200,000 crowns from you -

and took them to the location of the server, where they uploaded 68,111 files.

That is not true.

We received... We got the information from very reliable sources.

Jon claims that he can prove through the log files -

as well as the communication between the mole and Bahnhof's network technician, -

that you bought hard drives for the mole worth 20,000 crowns.

Jon has filed a police report with the Anti-Piracy Office.

I would like to see that evidence.

No misconduct has surfaced in connection with the case.

I have seen the evidence, and Jon's information seems to be accurate.

We have used a source of information named Rouge. It's not a secret.

What kind of collaboration did you have with Rouge?

Surely that’s not true? - Of course not.

And also the claim about the money?

Henrik? - Yes, I paid him.

Damn, I denied it.

We operate like this continuously. We get information for money.

You must understand how this looks?

This is how things work.

I'm sorry, but it will be fine.

How many days passed after the opening weekend? - Two.

From the standpoint of ticket sales, it's worse that previews are leaked.

Insiders! Checking the background of 5,000 employees will be expensive.

They must be exposed. People have already been laid off in recent weeks.

It doesn't boost morale. - We have a meeting with John Malcom.

Your name, please? - Stuart Warner from Warner Brothers. Alan from Paramount.

Do you still have a job, Rob? - Amusing.

He's from Columbia. Now he's offended.

Many file sharers do not perceive or even know that they are committing a crime.

There would be merit in an awareness campaign, specifically in their territory.

Popular sites have banners. Like on that new Facebook.

Are pictures published on Facebook? - Yes.

So, would we be paying for internet ads, -

so that movie sharing on the internet would stop?

Are the ads small? Does anyone even see them?

We make movies, and our companies are the biggest in Hollywood.

Something shocking must be done.

Let's take Brad Pitt, Clooney, Roberts. - Actors are loved.

About those banners...

Not really our target audience. Visitors are 25 to 45 years old.

You're wrong. Many use... - Scott.

Sorry.

DVD revenues are declining from 15.7 billion to 11 billion a year.

Completely unheard of. - Our regional director for Asia...

We lose billions every month and you suggest tiny ads.

The site must be shut down. - It's a miracle it hasn't been done already.

I agree.

The problem must be tackled from multiple angles.

Our lawyers are working with the Swedish authorities.

The site administrators are being sought and the site wants to be shut down.

Alright. That's enough for us. Get it done.

What do you say, guys? - Let’s shut it down.

We already have 22 clients. We need to decline new ones.

Incredible! This is completely true.

And it’s growing even more. We are expanding the server management.

Please, have a seat. - Thank you.

"Caucasus Center." Didn't Putin try to silence them?

He hates them.

Forced to shut down a Lithuanian web hosting service. We are maintaining it now.

What if they come after you? - That's what they are trying to do.

We operate anonymously. The goal is to create a safe and anonymous place.

A safe haven for sites facing pressure.

We do not interfere with the content of the sites.

Freedom can be tough and harsh when operating on the fringes of society, -

but freedom is always better than its alternative.

Well, maybe.

Hi, Henrik. Welcome to Gothenburg.

Hey, Jens. Nice to see you.

You have received death threats. - Yes, I have.

How does that feel?

Nobody wishes for that kind of thing. The tone of the conversation is tense.

You used an infiltrator...

Yes, an informant. It's one of our methods of operation.

The goal of certain closed groups is to seek out copies, -

remove copy protection, and spread them online.

The perpetrators are not your average person.

Jens Nylander, you sell MP3 players that can download music from the internet.

You filed a police report against Henrik Pontén today.

Henrik Pontén is personally responsible for the tone of the conversation, -

as he uses Stasi methods and terror.

Wait a moment now... - One at a time. Please go ahead, Jens.

I made a report about Pontén, or the enforcement authority, -

which conducted the raid at Pontén's instigation.

There has probably been an official error, -

as he seems to know alarmingly much about the raid in question.

During the raid, the police arrived on the scene and pointed out certain servers.

And lo and behold! They were marked with stickers. How convenient!

What do you have to say, Henrik?

We heard that the company was in possession of copyright protected material.

We obtained a warrant from the district court and used the enforcement authority.

It is said that piracy has already become a people's movement.

Is it still stoppable? - Yes, it is.

Of course it isn't! It's about the youth.

Breathe deeply and relax, Henrik Pontén.

YOU WOULD NOT STEAL A CAR

YOU WOULD NOT STEAL A HANDBAG

YOU WOULD NOT STEAL A TELEVISION

DOWNLOADING A PIRATED MOVIE IS STEALING

PIRACY IS A CRIME

Hi, guys!

This ad is dedicated to you. It depicts the power you hold.

Because you oppose outdated legislation, -

through which corporations are profiting, Hollywood fears you.

Welcome to the Pirate Movie.

This is a cozy neighborhood theater, but also an event, -

where we will show Hollywood and the Anti-Piracy Office's agents...

Hey, wait a minute...

What gives you the right to decide about my work and my livelihood?

I don’t quite understand what you’re implying... - Let me tell you.

You talk about Hollywood. Do I represent Hollywood?

It took me nine years to complete the movie, -

which appeared on your site as a pathetic copy right after its premiere.

Go home! - You listened to the boys, now listen to me too.

Your actions directly affect my life, -

my ability to make a living through my work, my passion.

You are stealing from me! - We understand you.

Theft is defined such that -

something is taken from someone, which they no longer have.

Your movie was not stolen, it was copied. Your movie is still there.

Such reasoning is completely dishonest.

You all know this very well. - Not us.

Enjoy the show! - Stay, so we can talk.

Not interested? You decided to leave then. Okay.

What do you mean by dishonest? - Oh, what do you mean?

Society is like this. We learn by copying from each other.

We copy ideas from the books we read. It has always been this way.

The author puts their soul into their book to put bread on the table.

Of course, but willing people can still pay for the movie or book, -

because they think it’s good or they want to support the artist.

Culture, however, cannot be available only to the wealthy.

I agree with that, but others were involved in making my movie.

Many worked on the production, and they need to live from their work.

I know, but companies must adapt to consumption patterns.

We at Pirate Bay want to help promote your works, -

so that they reach a wider audience.

No matter how you twist and turn it, you are stealing from me.

Civil disobedience has always changed society.

Who do you think you are? Martin Luther King?

You’re only here to watch the movie for free.

Why do I even bother talking about this with you?

Hell!

Idiot. - What has happened?

Is everything alright?

What has happened? - Eggs.

Our page has been hacked.

AUH? - I guess it means angry young hackers.

And demands Pontén's blood!

They have revealed Rogue's identity.

The number is not in use.

Clap your hands, good horse.

Hi!

Did you sleep well?

Die.

We know where you live. You're about to die.

Hello.

Dad.

What now?

Has something happened? What?

They told me to watch my back.

Did you recognize the voice? - No.

Or rather... this has happened before.

Has someone called before?

Good that you told me. - Yes, it is. Good that you told me, Markus.

There is nothing to worry about.

Of course, this feels uncomfortable.

So you have your own server here?

Web hosting, virtual servers, tunnels...

But we were thinking about The Pirate Bay... - It’s already here.

What? - Here we are completely anonymous.

The Lithuanian police raided the web hosting service.

So now we are operating in Lithuania... Just let it be. Continue.

They seized a computer, from which it was revealed that -

the Kavkaz Center site had been moved -

Behind The Pirate Bay is Anakata.

Kavkaz Center is run from the PRQ web hosting service.

We believe that Anakata operates PRQ.

We believe that The Pirate Bay is on this network. - Good.

Shouldn't we agree on something like this together? - This is the best solution for the site.

Would you have preferred to stay with Carl and experience Bahnhof's fate?

The fiasco only fuels Pontén's enthusiasm. We are safe here.

What other sites are here? - That's something you don't need to know.

Unfortunately, we don't know the location of the servers, -

because PRQ only has a post office box.

We have been monitoring it.

We suspect that he is Anakata.
