Internationella åklagarkammaren Stockholm Ansökan om stämning Sida 3 (25) Handling Ärende 109-155-06 Kammaråklagare Håkan Roswall 2008-01-31 Handläggare 109-17 Gärning The Pirate Bay är en av världens största fildelningstjänster på Internet. Tjänsten använder sig av BitTorrent-protokollet för att uppnå ett effektivt utnyttjande av tillgänglig bandbred. The Pirate Bay består av tre delkomponenter, dels en indexportal i form av en hemsida med sökfunktion, dels en databas med tillhörande katalog innehållande torrentfiler och dels en trackerfunktion. Genom trackerfunktionen skapas ett ”peer to peer” nätverk av de användare som vill dela samma fil. Samtliga komponenter är nödvändiga för att användarna av tjänsten skall kunna dela filer mellan sig. Merparten av de filer som tillgängliggörs för fildelning genom The Pirate Bay innehåller upphovsrättsligt skyddade verk och prestationer. Driften av The Pirate Bay finansieras genom reklamintäkter. Härigenom sker ett kommersiellt utnyttjande av upphovsrättsligt skyddade verk och prestationer. Neij, Svartholm Warg, Sunde Kolmisoppi och Lundström har tillsammans och i samförstånd med varandra och med annan person under tiden 1 juli 2005 – 31 maj 2006 dels i Rix Telecoms AB´s lokaler i Göteborg och dels i Rix Port 80 AB´s lokaler på Palmfältsgatan i Stockholm svarat för organisationen, administrationen, systematiseringen, programmeringen, finansieringen och driften av fildelningstjänsten The Pirate Bay. I samband med verksamheten har de bl.a. främjat andra personers intrång i upphovsrätten enligt följande påståenden: 1. Musik 1 A (Sony BMG Music Entertainment Sweden AB; Inspelningsland Sverige) De tilltalade har uppsåtligen under tiden 20 januari 2006 till den 31 maj 2006 i Göteborg och i Stockholm främjat att andra personer via överföringar på Internet av en fil innehållande Backyard Babies skiva ”Stockholm Syndrome” gjort ett upphovsrättsligt skyddat fonogram tillgängligt för allmänheten samt den 28 februari 2006 i Stockholm också främjat att andra personer framställt exemplar av fonogrammet. Tillgängliggörandet och exemplarframställningen har inneburit ett intrång i den ensamrätt att göra inspelningen tillgänglig för allmänheten och ett intrång i den ensamrätt att framställa exemplar av inspelningen som tillkommit producenten av de fonogram på vilket inspelningen ursprungligen utgivits.

Perhaps the most important influences on my early thinking about this topic came from Paweł Frelik and Larry McCaffery, with whom I shared a rousing desert hike in the foothills of Borrego Springs. After an evening of food, drink, and lively exchange, I had the long-overdue epiphany to channel my training in musical performance more directly into my academic pursuits. The early support, friendship, and collegiality of these two had a tremendously positive effect on the arc of my scholarship; knowing they believed in the project helped me pencil its first sketchy contours—and ultimately see it through to the end.

Code politics investigates the implications of digital code to contemporary politics. Recent developments on the web, known as web2.0, have attracted the attention of the field. The thesis contributes to the literature by developing a theoretical approach to web2.0 platforms as social structures and by contributing two cases of web2.0 structurations: Drupal, a content management platform, and The Pirate Bay, a file sharing website and political movement. Adapting the work of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe on articulation theory, the thesis studies the code and politics of the two cases.

  • Online Media Piracy: Convergence, Culture, and the Problem of Media
    Online Media Piracy: Convergence, Culture, and the Problem of Media Change Sean Fuller Department of Gender and Cultural Studies The University of Sydney A thesis submitted to fulfil requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Sydney i DECLARATION I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person nor material which to a substantial extent has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma of the university or any other institute of higher learning, except where due acknowledgement has been made in the text. Sean Fuller April 7, 2018 ii Abstract This thesis proposes that there is a symbiotic relationship between the emergence of online media piracy and the industrial, economic and legal changes that have shaped contemporary popular media in the early 21st century. The Internet is at the heart of most recent transformations of the popular media environment, such as the emergence of video- on-demand formats for film and television consumption and the impact this has had on the nature of those media forms. This thesis discusses the powerful role played by online media piracy in shaping these developments, both through changing the expectations of consumers, and the options that are available for distributors of media content. As well as exploring the diverse forms and practices of online media piracy today, this thesis also explores theories of media change, considering how we might understand such piracy as a force underpinning media change, and how the changes it has helped shape might be placed in a broader historical context.

  • Deciphering Crypto-Discourse: Articulations of Internet Freedom in Relation to the State
    Deciphering Crypto-Discourse: Articulations of Internet Freedom in Relation to the State Isadora Hellegren Department of Art History and Communication Studies McGill University, Montreal August 2016 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts in Communication Studies. © Isadora Hellegren 2016 DECIPHERING CRYPTO-DISCOURSE ii Abstract The understanding of what constitutes “Internet freedom” varies between countries and cultures. In Internet governance debates, a myriad of actors is invested in defining the meaning of “freedom” in relation to Internet-specific technologies. A central component in meaning-making processes about Internet-specific technologies and their functions is the constant negotiation of online rights, such as personal privacy and freedom of expression. In the process of these and other contestations over what should or should not constitute Internet freedom, this study explores how a specific community of participants in the Internet governance debate, namely public-key cryptography advocates, has constructed a discourse in which “crypto” (encryption software) serves as an enabler of freedom. While the design of “crypto” aims to render online communication illegible to anyone but its intended recipient(s), the representation of crypto serves as a battlefield in a larger discursive struggle to define the meaning of Internet freedom. This thesis investigates how crypto- advocates, and in particular Cypherpunks, have articulated crypto-discourse: a partially fixed construction of meaning that establishes a relationship between “crypto” and a negative conception of Internet freedom, in relation to the state. I argue that crypto-discourse excludes other possible positive meanings of Internet freedom. In so doing, the discourse removes responsibility from democratic states to secure online rights and freedoms for their citizens.

    THE PIRATE BAY: BANDITISMO SOCIAL NO CYBERESPAÇO COMO MEIO DE CONSTRUÇÃO DE UMA COMUNICAÇÃO CONTRA-HEGEMÔNICA Fernando Raposo Tania Rodriguez RESUMO O presente trabalho discute o lugar da plataforma p2p The Pirate Bay em meio às teorias do cyberespaço e de teorias da comunicação contra-hegemônica, buscando compreender o sentido da pirataria por meio de proposições teóricas que ob- servam o fenômeno do banditismo social, tomando como aportes teóricos os livros Bandidos (1975), do historiador marxista britânico Eric Hobsbawm e TAZ – Temporary Autonomous Zone (1985). Para além da função de territorialização de culturas e imaginários culturais que exercem os meios comunicacionais na contemporaneidade, este ensaio parte fundamentalmente de dois questionamentos: que ferramentas epistemológicas estariam a contento da análise de um objeto que surge no seio das milhões de páginas polissêmicas, percebidas aqui como memórias culturais de nosso tempo, que habitam o ciberespaço? Que características deve reunir um projeto específico em meio a esse imenso contingente de produção info-comunicacional para que este possa ser caracterizado no marco de uma manifestação contracultural ou revolucionária para além do próprio suporte tecnológico da comunicação digital? Podemos entender a pirataria no ciberespaço como uma ferramenta ou como uma forma de comunicação alternativa, popular e contra-hegemônica? Palavras-chave: The Pirate Bay; Pirataria; Cyberespaço; 1.
