Ok so these two boards are the vast rethinking of the scope of what id like to accomplish in this project. Who pirates software? Why? What are the economic/social influences and how does that really affect developed nations developing the software. Then after critically looking at this I tried thinking of creative solutions that could break into new markets that are do not have the spending power to afford such high costs. In the end a AD supported version of software could possibly be a viable solution to deliver free software to consumers while still creating revenue to producers.

ok so these two

Now back to thesis ... Rather than a problem at the moment but yet a glimpse at the current state of affairs regarding piracy, the world and how intellectual property may never be the same.

Now lets just have a little fun... Common icons reassembled

Sharing is caring.... Isn't it?

By now I'm sure most of you have heard of the pirate bay the Swedish based Bit torrent website. Basically its a simple little website which has a repository of links leading to small networks to download whatever files its users have decided to share. Its reached the spotlight of the media, and mainly the large industries fighting for protection of copyrighted works being distributed. So whats the big deal? Since the days of the tape cassette and VCR this has all ways been the clash with new technologies and the ability to copy creative works. But what differs hear is the interesting out come from the media attention to the pirate bay and its organizers the Piratbyrån.


Looking at this closer its about much more than getting the latest digital media from the Internet...or is it? All this media attention has gained huge support for the Pirate Party in Sweden, and all over the world. This is not an attack, its a revolution, not for Internet piracy per say but rather deep rethinking of intellectual property and creative works of any kind and the freedom that is the Internet.
