Piracy. You know you’ve done it! And on this episode, we’re exposing you as we talk about two stories that highlight the wild wild west of the early bit torrent days. In story #1, Saige and Harry cover Kim Dotcom, the mega personality behind Mega Upload. And in Story #2, Rowan and Bijan discuss KickassTorrents, a bit torrent website that became famous for the US Justice Department going after its founder Artem Vaulin, his trial on copyright infringement, and his travails in Poland.
