Synopsis
It's
the day before the trial starts. Fredrik packs a computer into a rusty
old Volvo. Along with his Pirate Bay co-founders, he faces $13 million
in damage claims to Hollywood in a copyright infringement case. Fredrik
is on his way to install a new computer in the secret server hall. This
is where the world's largest file sharing site is hidden.
When the
hacker prodigy Gottfrid, the internet activist Peter and the network
nerd Fredrik are found guilty, they are confronted with the reality of
life offline - away from keyboard. But deep down in dark data centres,
clandestine computers quietly continue to duplicate files.
