TPB AFK: The Pirate Bay - Away from Keyboard

• Documentary
• Crime

TPB AFK offers a surprisingly intimate portrait of the founders of The Pirate Bay, moving beyond the legal battles and copyright infringement to reveal the eccentric personalities and deeply held ideological convictions driving their actions. The film isn’t a glorification of piracy, but a curious exploration of digital freedom and anti-establishment thinking through the lives of three profoundly unconventional individuals – a hardware enthusiast, an environmental activist, and a libertarian hacker – whose actions inadvertently sparked an international conflict. It’s a contemplative documentary that presents a uniquely human side to figures often demonized by mainstream media, prompting questions about ownership, information access, and the future of digital culture, framed not as a crime story but as a bizarre, almost accidental act of rebellion.
