Title: The Pirate Book
Description: This publication offers a broad view on media piracy as well as a variety of comparative perspectives on recent issues and historical facts regarding piracy. It contains a compilation of texts on grass-roots situations whose stories describe strategies  developed to share, distribute and experience cultural content outside of the confines of local economies, politics or laws. These stories recount the experiences of individuals from India,  Cuba, Brazil, Mexico, Mali and China. The book is structured in four parts and begins with a collection of stories on piracy dating back to the invention of the printing press and expanding  to broader issues (historical & modern anti-piracy technologies,  geographically-specific issues, as well as the rules of the Warez  scene, its charters, structure and visual culture...).
