INTRODUCTION This work offers a broad view on 
media piracy as well as a variety of comparative 
perspectives on recent issues and historical 
facts regarding piracy. It contains a compilation 
of texts on grass°©roots situations whose stories 
describe strategies developed to share, 
distribute and experience cultural content 
outside of the confines of local economies, 
politics or laws. These stories recount the 
experiences of individuals from India, Cuba, 
Brazil, Mexico, Mali and China. The book is 
structured in four parts and begins with a 
collection of stories on piracy dating back to 
the invention of the printing press and expanding 
to broader issues (historical and modern 
anti-°©piracy technologies, geographically°© 
specific issues, as well as the rules of the 
Warez scene, its charters, structure and visual 
cultureŠ).
