Hack This Zine Interviews TorrentFreak

We very rarely do interviews here at TorrentFreak. We get many requests and simply can’t find time to do them all, so we end up saying ‘no’ to them all. Once every couple of years though, probably due to too much sun (or too much drink), we give in.

A few months ago we were interviewed by the nice folks at Hackbloc. In case you don’t know them, here is their mission statement:

Our mission is to research, create and disseminate information, tools, and tactics that empower people to use technology in a way that is liberating. We support and strengthen our local communities through education and action. We strive to learn from each other and focus our skills toward creative goals, to explore and research positive hacktivism, and to defend a free internet and free society!

The interview is available in the latest issue of Hack This Zine, which also has articles on:
