ABSTRACT

THE PIRATE BOOK IS A WORK IN PROGRESS PLANNED FOR 2015.
This publication offers a broad view on media piracy as well as multiple feedbacks between recent issues and historical piracy facts.
It contains a compilation of grass-root stories — strategies developed to share, distribute and experience cultural contents outside the boundaries of local economies, politics, or laws. These stories have been sourced from people in UK, India, Cuba, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Russia, Mali, and China.
The book is structured in four parts and starts with a collection of piratical stories since the invention of the printing press and expands on broader issues (historical and modern anti-piracy technologies, geo-specific issues, warez scene rules, charts, structure, and visual culture...).
