Yes?

How... How does this happen, then?

I have a contact at Bahnhof. Where there is Enigma, an important hub...

Wait a little. Station?

Operates the business from the internet providers?

I don't think Bahnhof has a clue, or even get to know–

– on what is written in their server halls.

But I can fix the log files and send via chat.

I need access to the server to be able to verify the files.

- It doesn't work. -100,000 is a lot of money.

Yes, but I need it to go underground if this gets out.

We always take care our informants.

No one finds out that we had this conversation.

There is so much you don't know.

If we start moving around the group can we both get into big trouble.

The scene doesn't like Pirate Bay?

But you believe that they like the Antipiratbyrån?

But sure, fix 100,000 and I'll solve it.

Wait a little.

No, they're just kids. Three guys from Sweden.

I just saw the numbers – unbelievable.

Thank you, brother. Bye then.

“About 10pm to 3am it dropped internet traffic in the world significantly"–

–“probably connected with technical problems connected to Pirate Bay."

Do you understand? The Pirate Bay is the internet after all.

/SKYPE-SIGNAL/ He is.

-How is it, Oded? – Hey, Anakata.

- Tiamo is also here. - I don't see you.

That's not the point either.

Congratulations! You are sitting on a gold mine.

But if I understand the matter correctly You are not making any money yet.

Frankly our current situation is unsustainable.

We depend on donations from The Pirate Agency, as well as money from your own pocket.

Considering at what pace the number of users increases–

–is it not sustainable in the long term.

I see. What does it usually cost to run a site like this?

$10,000 a month? 20,000? You don't receive such sums in donations.

But if you sold ads on the site the reverse would be the case.

Then you are in control. With advertisers you can be as revolutionary as you want.

Only the user base continues to grow–

–and the advertisers get their clicks and their money. How does that sound?

Consider our reputation. What say our supporters if we make money?

It's not free to distribute free information.

This gives us the opportunity to get bigger.

Isn't that what you want, the minister of propaganda?

- Do you trust Daniel? What's the deal? –Fifty-fifty.

Kebab without red onion, extra sauce. And Coke.

It doesn't cost that much to sell advertising. We are the ones who have built everything.

- It feels a little crooked. - You can also try being grateful.

It just must never appear like we earn private money.

- Is everything going well for the operation? -Yes. – Kebab platter with fries.

-Next. What should you have? – Falafel roll without sauce.

What?

-So Enigma is Pirate Bay's server? - No, not only.

They and other sites use the server for distribution of film.

Now we have a good entrance, and we have worked with informants before.

-So what's the problem? –100 000.

It's nothing compared to what our customers lose.

If we can prove that a server with copyrighted material–

-is with an internet provider, is the world's chance to make a difference.

How are we even going to be able to pay out such sums? Should you ask for a receipt?

We can get results without such types. Do you even know who he is?

Our mission is to stop piracy, but everywhere our opportunities are stifled.

How many meetings have we not sat in? They show no interest!

Now a door opens to the heart of the pirate scene – inside the Bahnhof.

One of the biggest the internet providers. Huh?

I'm sorry, Henrik. It's too much of a risk.

- We are looking into it. -How then? How do you look at it?

- That we look at it. - Rather that you look away from it.

Should it be free to download copyrighted material? Stephen?

Sweden is changing to a pirate paradise.

We have other crimes to focus on. Eco-crime, child pornography.

Download is not prioritized.

I understand that you have a lot to do, but a crime is a crime.

I AM that department. It's just I who work with cases like this.

If you want to get an investigation–

- should your report arrive with a thorough investigation.

Very cumbersome if I have to do both your job and mine.

/MONIQUE SIGHS/

Hello. I'm on my way back now. Can we collect them all?

Damn, that looks professional.

Carl thinks it looks damn good too.

...a violation of copyright...

Damn they don't get it!

The idiots at the MPAA send their damns Hollywood lawyers upon us again!

MPAA – Motion Picture of Anakata's Ass.

Can you just... Now damn it.

"Dear recipient. I want to inform about that all further contact with us, regardless of"...

Now you are very close. ..."regardless procedure will lead to:"

"A: a lawsuit for harassment."

"B: a notification to your bar association for sending baseless threats."

“We and our attorney believe you are one fucking idiots and that you should"...

- Hi, John. -"We think you're fucking idiots"...

..."and that you should run up batons in the ass. Fuck off."

Always as polite. "Anakata." What the hell ongoing? Have you spoken to the police yet?

Yes, but piracy is unfortunately nothing which the IT crime department prioritizes.

That's your job to make them prioritize it!

The thing is that we must do the investigation for the police.

Fine. Can you arrange it?

-Hello. Monique Wadsted. –Robert.

–David. -Welcome. Come along.

Anakata and Tiamo are the aliases we can link to the website–

- but there may be more.

We can ping the server's IP address to the Stockholm region.

We won't get any closer than that. They are extremely cautious.

Of course. They are aware that they do something illegal. How do we proceed?

Classic reconnaissance work. Identify server halls that can handle the traffic–

– and want the sites as customers. Cases like this are nothing new for us.

- Sooner or later we will find them. - Better before.

The site must stand on its own. We cannot be dependent on the Piratbyrån.

But you want to be dependent of the market via advertisements?

- It ends with someone getting hurt. - But all the money goes to the operation.

The Pirate Bay is the world's most used distribution form of information.

30% of the world's internet traffic.

We could build a whole ecosystem around Pirate Bay–

– with communication tools and meeting places.

We could be the great social equalizer.

That's great, but maybe not at any price.

- What do you mean...? - Have you talked to Mikaela?

The site is not illegal, so then it's not advertising either.

No, but I think like this...

You don't want it to look like that like you make money from it.

- Come on! – The master chef! Thanks.

- You can probably double check with Mikaela. - Yes, okay.

There!

We have a free film festival where we show downloaded movies.

- Great fun! -And then we can find new members.

Annoying for the industry. A finger in Pontén's eye.

I'm in.

-Okay. So you're in now? - Yes, I said that.

Can start by searching for movie files.

Oh, bastards!

– That's quite a lot, isn't it? - Yes, you can say that.

Take that file. Check if it's on the Pirate Bay too.

Mm.

There is only ONE server, and the in- holds copyrighted material.

But the crackdown needs to be implemented the day after tomorrow, so secure staff.

I checked with Softronic. They have one couple of guys you need to bring in externally.

Yes? Then I need court- the decision on the infringement investigation.

Of course.

The suspicion applies illegal making available of film.

-How do you know that Bahnhof has knowledge? -We apply the third party principle:

The search of a third party which may not be aware of the crime.

The intrusion investigation enforced by the Crown...

I have discussed with Lars-Owe. The all that is needed is an okay from you.

I'll see what I can do.

- Have you heard anything? - Nothing.

- Yes. See you tomorrow then. -Sleep well.

/PHONE SIGNAL/

- The pontoon. -Tomas Norström here.

- I have gone through everything. -Okay.

You get your permit. You will have it with you tomorrow morning.

Did we get it?

We just have to work it out…

Lars-Owe Kjellquist, The enforcement agency.

Everyone must stop working and turn the keyboards upside down.

-The Crown Bailiff Authority. Who are you? –John Karlung, vd.

We need access to the server hall.

This way.

Go ahead.

Mickey. Get in there and keep an eye out that they don't open anything.

Tjena, Ann. Jon Karlung, Bahnhof.

I wonder if you have the opportunity to come down to us.

A few things happen here that can be of interest to you at DN.

/MOBILE SIGNAL/

–Lars-Owe. - The pontoon. How is it going?

-No servers yet, so it takes time. -Okay.

But you know what you're looking for, right? The server must be clearly marked.

Yes, I'll be in touch when... Bye.

Ann, Dagens Nyheter. Why do The enforcement agency a raid?

We have found something.

Check.

Can you stop taking pictures?

It is connected to their network. Should I unplug it?

And.

- The police's IT department. -Henrik Pontén, Antipiracy Agency.

I want to report an ongoing crime.

-What type of crime? - Against the Copyright Act.

-How long, do you think? - Hard to say.

It's pretty solid encryption.

- Back up a little. -Absolutely.

Policy.

Policy.

We're going to seize the server.

This is an ongoing procedure. Why are the police here?

Now this is a police matter. A ongoing copyright infringement.

Hang up!

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

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

See you, Jon. Hello, thank you.

/ELKVARN: "LOVE'S TONGUE"/

-Hello? -Hello!

Wow! It went well, I see.

- Yes, it went well. - Cool!

Damn dog!

The world's largest network for illegal downloading.

We cannot tolerate that they encourage people to steal.

You read the whole article, right? The part when Pontén complains that:

"You don't need 10 Mbit for email. It's for downloading movies."

Fucking idiot. Take to strike at the Bahnhof.

- That will never happen to us. -How the hell do you know that?

Pontén, MPAA... They're obsessed with us.

That's why we're going to build a fucking castle!

A free zone where all websites are welcome.

We are going to move our servers from Carl.

-What, here? -Here. Pirate Bay too.

We should have done it from the beginning. We need our own hosting.

With total anonymity for all our customers. That's what the money should go to.

–Vi ska heta PRQ. -PRQ?

PeRiQuito. Budgerigar in Spanish.

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

They want to be free.

-Okay. And Peter, then? - No, we do this.

This is our thing.

Okay. PRQ. Cool!

"The Anti-Piracy Agency is outstanding"–

–"and has hit hard against piracy across Europe."

It's a press release from the MPAA.

- And then SVT Debatt tomorrow. -Finally.

–Redo? –Yes.

Check. Now is the time.

Welcome to the press conference–

- due to the strike with internet provider station.

I hand over to Henrik Pontén which should give a brief account.

- After that, we can answer questions. –Tack.

March 10, the police did, in cooperation with the Swedish Crown Enforcement Agency–

–after a judgment based on information from the Antipiratbyrån–

-a search of the house at the internet provider station.

The goal was to find the server called Enigma–

– which contains copyrighted material.

The server has now passed a digital forensic analysis –

-which established that the server contained 1,800 movies–

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

A significant blow to the pirate scene, and a great day for us who think–

- that artists, writers, directors shall be paid for their works.

-Questions? -Hello. Caroline Olsson, Aftonbladet.

How do you react to the accusations? from Jon Karlung, CEO at Bahnhof–

- that you must have hired an infiltrator who planted evidence at the Bahnhof?

First, we didn't use infiltrator, without informant.

Secondly no one has planted any evidence.

We received information that the server existed, and we attacked it.

Jon Karlung says that the infiltrator, who calls herself Rouge–

–should have received SEK 200,000 from you–

-and set up the server myself and uploaded 68,111 files.

That's not true.

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

Jon claims he has proof in form of log files and chat messages–

–between the infiltrator and a network engineer at Bahnhof–

-and that you bought hard drives for in- the filter to a value of 20,000.

- Jon has reported the Antipiratbyrån himself. - Then I would like to see the proof.

No irregularities has occurred in this case.

I've seen the proof. It seems like Jon's information is correct.

We have worked with an informant who called Rouge. It's no secret.

What kind of interaction have you had? with Rouge? What has he done?

- Isn't that right? - Of course not.

Not even the money?

– Henrik? - Yes, I paid him.

But what the hell!

We do this all the time. They give us information in exchange for money.

Do you understand what this looks like?

It's part of the game.

I'm sorry, but... We'll work it out.

-How many days, after the premiere weekend? - We got two.

Cam versions aren't too bad. The screener leaks are worse.

Insiders! Do you know what it costs? to background check 5,000 employees?

You have to find them. We've kicked over a dozen.

- No height for the work ethic. -Hello, we're going to meet John Malcolm.

- What is your name? –Stuart, Warner Bros. Alan, Paramount.

Do you still have the job, Rob? - He is from Columbia.

Many of those who download don't see it as a crime.

So an awareness campaign would be good, on their own territory.

Banners on popular sites like Tumblr, Yahoo and that new one – Facebook.

-Is it the one with the pictures? - Yes.

Should we buy ads on the internet to prevent download of movie from internet?

How small are they? Are they even visible?

We make movies. I don't want to be rude, but we run Hollywood's largest film company.

We've got to get them hooked. Well we can use Brad Pitt, Clooney, Roberts?

Banners... That's not even our target audience. Cinema-goers are on average 25–45 years old.

- That's not entirely true... –Scott.

Excuse.

DVD revenue drops from 15.7 billion to 11 billion in one year.

- It has never happened before. - But our regional manager in Asia...

Listen up. We lose billions every month and you suggest small ads.

We have to shut down the site.

I agree. But we must attack the problem from several angles.

Our lawyer works closely with the authorities.

They are looking for those responsible, and shutting down the site has the highest priority.

Okay. That was all we needed to hear. Get it done.

- Are we ready? - Shut it down.

We already have 22 customers. We must refuse new ones.

It's absolutely incredible!

It will be bigger. We are expanding the server park.

- Go ahead and sit down. - Thank you.

"Kavkaz Center". Hasn't Putin tried to silence them?

Well, he hates them. He forced one web hosting in Lithuania to shut down–

- so now we host them.

-Imagine if they turn on you. - They can try.

But we are completely anonymous. The project should be a safe, anonymous place.

A haven for pages which receives pressure.

We don't get involved what is on their pages.

Freedom can be ugly and move on the fringes of society–

-but freedom is always better than the alternative.

Yes, maybe.

Wait, Henrik. Welcome to Gothenburg.

Hi, Jens.

- You have been subjected to death threats. - Yes.

How does it feel?

It is not something you wish for. It is turned up tone in the debate now.

You have used an infiltrator...

Yes, informant. It is one of several working methods.

There are extremely closed groups–

– which aims to find early ones copies and distribute them on the Internet.

There are no Svensson pirates.

Jens Nylander, CEO of Jens of Sweden.

You sell mp3 players, as you can download music to from the net.

Today you have registered Pontén.

It is Pontén who bears the responsibility for a turned-up pitch–

–by using Stasi methods and terror.

- Wait a little here now... - We take one in the roof.

I have reported The enforcement agency–

– who made the move which Pontén is behind.

There is probably a service error, then he knows an alarming amount about the crackdown.

During the crackdown, the police came there and pointed. "We're going to have servers here."

They were marked with stickers. So fitting!

What do you say, Henrik?

We learned that at the company there was copyrighted material.

We received a trespass order from the district court the court and then used the Kronofogden.

It is usually said that piracy has become a popular movement.

-Can it be stopped, do you think? - Yes.

Jens: It can't be stopped! We are talking about young people.

Take three deep breaths and lower your shoulders, Henrik Pontén.

YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A CAR

DOWNLOAD OF PIRATED MOVIE IS STOLEN

PIRACY IS A CRIME

/THE AUDIENCE Booers/

Hello, comrades! /APPLAUSE/

Yes! This advertisement is dedicated to you. That is the power that you have.

By opposing you outdated legislation –

-which exists to fatten the big companies, Hollywood is now scared shitless of you.

Welcome to Piratbion, everyone.

A cozy neighborhood cinema, but also a joint action–

–to show Hollywood and their lackeys at the Anti-Piracy Agency...

Hello! You...

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

It is impossible to understand what are you referring to...

You talk about Hollywood. Do I look like Hollywood?

It took me nine years of my life to finish a film–

- which appears on your site in one crappy copy after just a few days.

-Woman in the audience: Go home! -Listen to me.

The consequence of your actions has a direct impact on my life.

My opportunities to earn a living on my job, on my passion.

- You steal from me! - We hear you, absolutely.

But theft is taking something from someone another, so that it does not have it left.

Exactly. Your movie is not stolen, it is copied. Your movie remains.

This whole argument is completely dishonest.

- You all know that here. - I don't agree with you.

-Have a nice show! -Stay there, so we can discuss.

No? You want to go? Okay.

-Excuse? What do you mean by dishonest? -What do I mean?

I guess that's what society looks like. We learn by copying others.

We read books, we copy thoughts and ideas. That's how it's always looked.

Books that someone has written, put his soul in to get food on the table.

Absolutely. But if people want, they can still pay to see your movie–

- because they thought it was good or want to support you.

Culture cannot be limited to those with resources.

I agree with that, but not only I have worked on the film.

Many others have done so things and who have to live on their job.

Yes, but then the companies have to adapt according to how people want to consume today.

We also want to help and market your works–

- so that they get a bigger audience than you otherwise would have had.

No matter how you twist and turn it, then you steal from me.

Civil disobedience has always been a method for social change.

Who the hell do you think you are? Martin Luther King?

All of you are just here to watch free movies – that's it!

Why am I even talking to you? Fuck!

/THICKING SOUND/

Hell!

-Damn idiot! - What is happening?

Oh. Are you okay or?

- What the hell has happened? -Egg.

Our site has been hacked.

–"AUH"? -Angry Young Hackers, apparently.

Yes... They posted Rouge's identity as well.

Invalid subscriber number.

/MOBILE VIBRATES/

/MOBILE VIBRATES/

/PHONE SIGNAL/ Hello?

Dad.

What is it?

Has something happened? Huh?

They said I would fit in.

- Did you recognize the voice? – Her.

So... It's happened before.

- That someone has called like this? –Mm.

- How good of you to tell. Very good. -Really. That's great, Markus.

But there is no danger.

No, but it's clear that it is very unpleasant.

So now you have your own hosting here, thus?

Web hosting, virtual servers, tunnels...

- But we still think about Pirate Bay... -Pirate Bay is already here.

-And? -Yes. Here we have total anonymity.

The Lithuanian police pounced against a web host.

Surrounded by Lithuania... It was nothing. Continue.

They seized a computer–

– where they have tracked that someone has transferred the site Kavkaz Center–

- to one of those behind it The Pirate Bay - Anakata.

Kavkaz Center hostas by a web host called PRQ.

We believe that Anakata runs PRQ, and that PRQ hosts The Pirate Bay.

Good.

-Shouldn't we talk about that before? - This is the best thing for the site.

Would you have rather stayed with Carl and ended up as Bahnhof?

Pontén's fiasco marks him even more. Here we have secure, anonymous hosting.

-What other sites do you have here, then? - You don't need to know that!

Unfortunately we don't know where the servers are exists, as PRQ only has one mailbox.

But we have monitored it.

And we suspect that this is Anakata.
