I noticed we had an older torrent of this, but it seems to have petered out.

This is a documentary of Kevin Mitnick's 5-year imprisonment without trial during the 1990's and the movement associated with it. This one includes an interview with Mitnick as well as the original documentary.

The Story They Wouldn't Tell You

Around the world, computer hackers are being portrayed as the newest brand of terrorists.  This is a story of a hacker named Kevin Mitnick, imprisoned without bail for nearly five years.  Freedom Downtime tries to uncover the reasons why the authorities are so scared of Mitnick as well as define what exactly he did.  Surprisingly, no real evidence is ever presented by t he authorities to back up the sensationalist claims in mass media.  But when a Hollywood studio decides to make a movie about Mitnick's life through the eyes of one of his accusers, hackers turn to activism to get their message out.  Through interviews with relatives, friends, lawyers, and experts in the computer and civil liberties arena, a picture of a great injustice becomes apparent.  A cross-country journey uncovers some realities of the hacker culture as well as the sobering fact that so many technically young adept people are being imprisoned.  

This is the 2004 release, containing more footage than the original cut in 2001.  Also included is an interview with Kevin.

It's really scary that this isn't more widely spread.
Is all truth this well concealed under layers of lies?
seeders? :/
Very interesting story. They're trashing our rights.
I've been a 2600 reader since the beginging and 2600 has taken a lot of risk and done us a great service producing this movie.

If you can afford it at all, please subscribe to the 2600 magazine and support them. And no, I'm not in anyway connect to the magazine. I'm just an old skool hacker who wants to preserve our freedom speech.

Apple Freak: Yeah you are right except that they already trashed our rights. There are no more rights except the superficial illusion of rights they keep up to fool everyone in to thinking they have rights. But none really exist anymore. Try to use some of them and see how far you really get.

Anyway happy as hell to see this torrent up. Will seed as much as I can.
