Aroview: The inside scoop on the world's most notorious (and popular) piracy website and its Swedish operators that also examines how file sharing / internet piracy is revolutionizing / paralyzing the film industry.

What was once a small project in a Mexican basement has grown into an unstoppable behemoth and catalyst of major disputes involving the WTO, dawn-raids from the police, and the US and Swedish governments. While this revised version of the original doco delves deeper into the cultural, economical and legal implications of copyright theft, it stops short of, say, airing the voice of ground-level businesses in Sweden that might be affected by unrestrained piracy, and how they might perceive those hailed in some quarters as renegade heroes.
