You’re Stealing it Wrong: 30 Years of Inter-Pirate Battles

Last year Jason Scott schooled the scene release group FLAiR when they released a copy of his documentary Get Lamp.

As a technology historian with a particular interest in pirates, Scott knew exactly who he was dealing with.

In fact, around the same time as he entered the discussion with FLAiR he gave an excellent talk at DEFCON 18 titled: You’re Stealing it Wrong: 30 Years of Inter-Pirate Battles.

Since we haven’t posted this before, here it is.. Well worth watching (if you have an hour).

“Historian Jason Scott walks through the many-years story of software piracy and touches on the tired debates before going into a completely different direction – the interesting, informative, hilarious and occasionally obscene world of inter-pirate-group battles. A multi-media extravaganza of threats, CSI-level accusations and evidence trails, decades of insider lingo, and demonstrations of how the more things change, the more they still have to keep their ratios up.”
