S1E4 Piracy

Established in Sweden in 2003 by Gottfrid Svartholm, Fredrik Neij, and Peter Sunde, The Pirate Bay has grown into one of the most significant file-sharing platforms globally. In 2009, the trio faced a trial for copyright violations. Ben travels to Stockholm to explore this landmark internet trial, examining its impact on our views toward major media companies, copyright laws, and the evolving concept of online ownership.
