This is a gemtext version of Martin Paul Eve's book Warez: The Infrastructure and Aesthetics of Piracy.
It documents the history of pirate groups who obtain, crack, and illegally freely distribute software, movies, and music.
When most people think of piracy, they think of Bittorrent and The Pirate Bay. These public manifestations of piracy, though, conceal an elite worldwide, underground, organized network of pirate groups who specialize in obtaining media – music, videos, games, and software – before their official sale date and then racing against one another to release the material for free.
Warez: The Infrastructure and
Aesthetics of Piracy is the first
Broad in scope and novel in its approach, Warez is indispensable reading for anyone interested in recent developments in digital culture, access to knowledge and culture, and the infrastructures that support our digital age.
