Pirating the Pirates
The article 'Pirating the Pirates' discusses how the rise of streaming services has led to a shift in piracy, with pirates now targeting streaming services instead of traditional media. The author argues that piracy is a form of cultural critique, and that pirates often use it to highlight issues such as the high cost of streaming services and the lack of access to diverse content. The article also mentions the example of the pirate site 'Pirate Bay', which has been a major player in the piracy scene for over a decade. The author also discusses the challenges of policing piracy, citing the example of the 'Article 13' directive in the EU, which aims to hold online platforms liable for pirated content.
