Yeah?
I have a contact at the Station. Where
There is Enigma, an important crossroads...
Wait a little. Season?
Operate the business
from internet providers?
I don't think Bahnhof has a clue.

– what is written about
in their server rooms.
But I can fix the log files.
and send via chat.
I need access to the server
to verify the files.
- That's not it.
-100,000 is a lot of money.
Yes, but I need him to leave.

we always take care of ourselves
our informants.
nobody finds out
that we had this conversation.
There are so many things you don't know.
If we start moving around the group
We can both get into big trouble.
I don't like the scene. Pirate Bay?
but you believe
What do you like about Antipiratbyrån?
But sure,
Set 100,000 and I'll figure it out.
Wait a little.
No, they are only children.
Three boys from Sweden.
I just saw the numbers, incredible.
Thanks brother. Goodbye then.
“Around 10 p.m. at 3 a.m. fell
significantly the Internet traffic in the world" –
–“probably related to technical issues
problems related to Pirate Bay."
Do you understand? After all, Pirate Bay is the Internet.
/SKYPE SIGNAL/ It is.
-How are you doing, Oded?
–Hello, Anakata.
- Tiamo is here too.
–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 don't make money that .
Frankly
Our current situation is unsustainable.
We depend on donations from
The Pirate Agency, plus money from your own pocket.
considering at what rate
the number of users increases–
–Is it not sustainable in the long term?
I understand. How much does it usually cost?
to run a site like this?
$10,000 a month? 20,000?
You do not receive such sums in donations.
But if you sold ads on the site
the opposite 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 advertisers get their clicks
and your money. What do you think?
Consider our reputation. What does it say
our supporters if we serve money?
it's not free
to distribute free information.
This gives us the opportunity
to get bigger.
Isn't that what you want?
the propaganda minister?
- Do you trust Daniel? What's the deal?
-Fifty-fifty.
Kebab without red onion, extra sauce.
And Coca-Cola.
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 to be grateful.
It should simply never appear
as if we earned private money.
- Is everything going well with the operation?
-Yeah. – Kebab plate with fries.
-Next. What should you have?
– Falafel roll without sauce.
That?
-So Enigma is the Pirate Bay server?
- No, not fair.
them and Other pages uses
the server for movie distribution.
Now we have a good entry, and we
I've worked with informants before.
-So what's the problem?
-100,000.
It's no big deal
compared to what our clients lose.
If we can prove that a server
with material protected by copyright –
-it is with an internet provider, it is
the opportunity the world has to make a difference.
How are we even going to be able to pay?
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 don't show any interest!
Now a door to the heart opens.

internet providers. Hey?
I is Sorry, Henrik.
It's too much risk.
- We are investigating it.
-How then? How do you look? that ?
- Let's 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.
Ecocrime, child p*rn*graphy.
The download does not have priority.
I understand that you have a lot

I AM that department. He is alone
I work with cases like this.
If you want to get an investigation...
- if your report arrives
with exhaustive research.
Very cumbersome if I have to do it
Do your job and mine.

So that they give it priority!

We can ping the server's IP address.

We won't get any closer than that.
They are extremely careful.
Then done. They are aware about that they

Classic recognition work. Identify
Server rooms that can handle traffic.

- Better before.

But you want to be dependent

- But all the money goes to the operation.
The Pirate Bay is the most used in the world.

we could build
an entire 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 cost.
- What do you mean...?
- Have you spoken? with mikaela?
The site is not ill*gal,
So it's not advertising either.
No, but I think like this...
You don't want it to look like that
while you pour money into it.
- Wait !
– The master chef! Thank you .
- You can double check with mikaela.
- Yes that's fine .
Good !
We have a free film festival.
where we show downloaded movies.
- Very fun!
- And then we can find new members.
Annoying for the industry.
A finger in the eye of Pontén.
I'm in.
-Well. So you're in now?
- Yes, I said it.
You can start by searching for movie files.
Oh you b*stards!
– That's enough, isn't it?
- Yes, you can say that.
Take that file. Check
if it is also on Pirate Bay.
Etc.
He is only ONE servant, and the one within -

But it is necessary to implement repressive measures.

Of course.

- The pontoon. How is it going?
-There are no servers yet, so it takes time.

The server must be clearly marked.
Yes, I'll be in touch when... Bye.

Should I unplug it?
Yeah.
–The police IT department.
-Henrik Pontén, Anti-Piracy Agency.
I want to report a crime in progress.
–What type of crime?
- Against the Copyright Law.
-How long do you think?
- It's hard to say.
It's a pretty solid encryption.
- Back up a little.
-Absolutely.
Police.
Police.
Let's take over the server.
This is an ongoing procedure.
Why are the police here?
Now this is a police matter. TO
continued infringement of copyright law.
Hang!
- 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.

-Hello?
-Hello!
Wow! Everything went well, I see.
- Yes, it went well.
- Cool!
Damn doll!
The largest network in the world
for ill*gal download.
We cannot tolerate
that encourage people to steal.
You read the entire article, right?
the part when pontoon complains about this:
"You don't need 10 Mbit for email.
It's for downloading movies."
Damn idiot.
Strike at the Bahnhof.
- That will never happen to us.
-How the hell do you know that?
Pontén, MPAA... They are owned by us.
That's why we're going to build a damn castle!
a free zone
where all websites are welcome.
We will move our servers to 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 . He will the money go to.
- We will call it PRQ.
-PRQ?
PeriQuito. Parakeet in Spanish.
Small, colorful, beautiful.
Lives mainly in small flocks.
They want to be free.
- Well . And Peter then?
- No, we do this.
This is our thing.
Well. PRQ. Cool!
"The Anti-Piracy Agency is exceptional" –
–"and it has hit hard
against piracy throughout Europe."
It's a press release from the MPAA.
- And tomorrow SVT Debatt.
-Finally.
-Ready?
- Yeah.
Check . Now is the day
Welcome to the press conference.
- due to the strike
against the Internet provider Bahnhof.
I give the floor to Henrik Pontén
which should give a brief account.
- After that, we can answer questions.
-Thank you.
On March 10, the police did so, in cooperation.
with the Swedish Crown Control Agency–
–after a ruling based on
information from Antipiratbyrån–
-a house registry
with the Internet provider Bahnhof.
The goal was to find the server.
called Enigma-
– which contains
copyrighted material.
The server has already passed
a digital forensic analysis–
-which established
that the server contained 1,800 movies.
–5,000 software programs
and 450,000 audio files.
A hard blow for the pirate scene,
and a great day for us we think–
- that artists, writers, directors
They will be paid for their work.
-Questions?
-Hello. Caroline Olsson, Aftonbladet.
How do you react to the accusations?
by Jon Karlung, CEO of Bahnhof–
- that you must have hired an insider
Who put tests at the Bahnhof?
For the first one we do not use
infiltrated, without informant.
For the Other
have not planted any evidence.
We receive information that the server
It existed and we attacked it.
Jon Karlung says that the infiltrator,
who calls herself Rouge–
- I should have received SEK 200,000 from you -
-and configure the server myself
and uploaded 68,111 files.
That's not true.
We have... We have information.
from very reliable sources.
Jon claims he has proof
of log files and chat messages –
–among the infiltrator
and network engineer at Bahnhof–
-and that you bought hard drives to in-
the filter to a value of 20,000.
- Jon has reported Antipiratbyrån himself.
- Then wish I Please see the proof.
No irregularities
has occurred in this case.
I have seen the proof. seems
as if Jon's information was correct.
We have worked with an informant who
called Rouge. It's no secret.
What type 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.
you understand Well how the How does this look?
He is part of the game.
I'm sorry, but... We'll figure it out.
-How many days after the opening weekend?
- We have two.
Cam versions is not so bad
The leaking filter is worse.
Initiated! Do you know what it costs?
Do background checks on 5,000 employees?
You have to find them.
We've kicked more than a dozen.
- There is no height for work ethic.
-Hello, we are going to meet John Malcolm.
- What is your name?
-Stuart, Warner Bros. Alan, Supreme.
Do you still have the job, Rob?
- He is from Colombia.

Don't see it as a crime.
So an awareness campaign would be good,
in its own territory.
Banners on popular sites like Tumblr,
Yahoo and that new one: Facebook.
- Is it the one in the photos?
-Yeah.
Should we buy ads on the Internet to
Prevent downloading movies from the Internet?
How small are they? Are they even visible?
We make movies. I don't want to be rude but
We run the largest film company in Hollywood.
We have to hook them. Well we can
Do you use Brad Pitt, Clooney, Roberts?
Banners... That's not even our target audience.
Moviegoers have an average age of between 25 and 45 years.
- That's not entirely true...
-Scott.
Excuse.
DVD revenues fall from

- But our regional manager in Asia...
Listen on . we lose billions every month
and you suggest small ads.
We have to close the site.
I agree. But we must attack
the problem from various angles.
Our lawyer works closely with the authorities.
They are looking after the person responsible, and
Closing the site has highest priority.
Well. That was all we needed to hear.
Do it.
- Are we ready?
- Turn it off.
We already have 22 clients.
We must reject the new ones.
It's absolutely amazing!
It will be bigger.
We are expanding the server park.
- Go ahead, sit down.
- Thank you.
