Will royalties and ownership become a thing of the past once every customer has the tools for digital replication? Jamie King, one of the makers of Steal This Film, thinks so.

 

Steal This Film is a film series documenting the movement against intellectual property and was a talking point in the British Documentary Festival. Showing the Swedish piracy culture, this film includes a critical analysis of an alleged regulatory capture performed by the Hollywood film industry. Alleged aims included the application of pressure to Swedish police into conducting a search and seizure against Swedish law for the purpose of disrupting The Pirate Bay's BitTorrent tracker.

A fascinating insight into piracy.
