You’re Stealing it Wrong: 30 Years of Inter-Pirate Battles by Jason Scott

Jason Scott has posted his wonderful DEFCON 18 talk “You’re Stealing it Wrong: 30 Years of Inter-Pirate Battles”.

Historian Jason Scott walks through the many-years story of software piracy and touches on the tired debates before going into a completely different direction – the interesting, informative, hilarious and occasionally obscene world of inter-pirate-group battles. A multi-media extravaganza of threats, CSI-level accusations and evidence trails, decades of insider lingo, and demonstrations of how the more things change, the more they still have to keep their ratios up.
