Abstract
When Michael, Markus, and I first discussed the idea for publishing
this book, it was very clear to us that we did not want to write yet
another theoretical book on Internet piracy; practitioners from the
field should also have a voice. After all, it is they who created this
phenomenon in the first place and it is clearly grassroots-driven.
In the following, two eminent actors in the field of Internet piracy [Alexandra Elbakyan and Gary Hall] will discuss their views on file sharing, piracy, and politics (of resistance).
