THE PIRATE BOOK ______________________________________________ Edited by: Nicolas Maigret & Maria Roszkowska Contributors: Jota Izquierdo, Christopher Kirkley, Marie Lechner, Pedro Mizukami, Ernesto Oroza, Clément Renaud, Ishita Tiwary, Ernesto Van der Sar (torrentfreak.com) & Michaël Zumstein INTRODUCTION ______________________________________________ This work offers a broad view on media piracy as well as a variety of comparative perspectives on recent issues and historical facts regarding piracy. It contains a compilation of texts on grassroots situations whose stories describe strategies developed to share, distribute and experience cultural content outside of the confines of local economies, politics or laws. These stories recount the experiences of individuals from India, Cuba, Brazil, Mexico, Mali and China. The book is structured in four parts and begins with a collection of stories on piracy dating back to the invention of the printing press and expanding to broader issues (historical and modern anti-piracy technologies, geographically specific issues, as well as the rules of the Warez scene, its charters, structure and visual culture). - Preamble by Marie Lechner (5 pages) http://thepiratebook.net/TPB_Preamble_M-Lechner.pdf DOWNLOADS & PRESS-KIT ______________________________________________ The Pirate Book (Full) http://thepiratebook.net/category/order-download/ Press Kit (Folder) https://www.dropbox.com/sh/r8x7p11dcsk9xs4/AACCMS4kR8D606X26vD9McM0a?dl=0# Press Kit (Zip archive: 60mb) http://thepiratebook.net/The_Pirate_Book_Press_Release.zip Images https://www.flickr.com/photos/n1c0la5ma1gr3t/albums/72157660150039749 Contact p...@thepiratecinema.com CREDITS ______________________________________________ Released in the framework of Masters & Servers - mastersandservers.org Published by Aksioma – Institute for Contemporary Art, Ljubljana - aksioma.org Co-published by Pavillon Vendôme Art Center, Clichy Produced by Aksioma, Pavillon Vendôme, Kunsthal Aarhus, and Abandon Normal Devices Supported by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union, the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia, and the Municipality of Ljubljana | This project has been funded with support from the European Commission.
