- Quotes
One of the lawyers: How did you meet Fredrik and Gottfrid?
Peter Sunde: I don't remember, but I assume it was in a chat room on the internet.
One of the lawyers: When was the first time you met IRL?
Peter Sunde: We don't use the expression IRL. We say AFK. But that's another issue. But, I don't remember that either.
Tomas Norström - District Court Judge: Got to know each other IRL? What is that?
One of the lawyers: In Real Life.
Peter Sunde: We don't like that expression. We say AFK - Away From Keyboard. We think that the internet is for real.

ARPANet was the beginning of a huge phenomena: the Internet. It's something you can't actually touch, yet it's there. It connects everyone, even if they are in opposite sides of the world. The Internet is more than a network, it's a part of OUR life!
Can you imagine spending a whole year without coming to the Internet? Not catching up with your friends, not playing online games, not researching for that work you're making, not seeing the latest viral videos, not writing about what you're eating. The Internet became the world! The Pirate Bay is just a proof of how the Internet rules over everything!
Because you see, TPB is not a warehouse where you can pick up anything you want. No. TPB is a gate. What TPB does is allowing you and me to share things with each other. What we used to do by re-writing CD's and VHS is what TPb is allowing us to do. And it's one of the greatest ideas ever!
I know so many things mainly because of everything I download from the Internet. Movies, documentaries, series, books, music... Everything contributes to our culture, to our wisdom! Hell, it contributes to the evolution of the HUMANITY! Why stop our own advance just because some companies lose little money a year? Yes, they lose LITTLE money. Take the example of videogames: most of them have online features nowadays; you can't play online in most hacked versions, so you have to buy the game. But at least, when you buy it, you know you like it! The same applies for everything else! COMPANIES NEVER LOSE MONEY, THEY JUST WANT TO MONOPOLIZE EVERYTHING!
This documentary shows that pretty well, and shows that all it takes to change the Internet, to change the world, is an idea and work. They're just 3 and they created the biggest thing in the whole Internet. We're more than 6 billion! Can't we change the world as well?
