Pirate Cinema
Cory Doctorow
<span>From the <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>Little Brother, </i>Cory Doctorow, comes <i>Pirate Cinema, </i>a new tale of a brilliant hacker runaway who finds himself standing up to tyranny.<br><br>Trent
 McCauley is sixteen, brilliant, and obsessed with one thing: making 
movies on his computer by reassembling footage from popular films he 
downloads from the net. In the dystopian near-future Britain where Trent
 is growing up, this is more illegal than ever; the punishment for being
 caught three times is that your entire household's access to the 
internet is cut off for a year, with no appeal.<br><br>Trent's too 
clever for that too happen. Except it does, and it nearly destroys his 
family. Shamed and shattered, Trent runs away to London, where he slowly
 learns the ways of staying alive on the streets. This brings him in 
touch with a demimonde of artists and activists who are trying to fight a
 new bill that will criminalize even more harmless internet creativity, 
making felons of millions of British citizens at a stroke. <br><br>Things
 look bad. Parliament is in power of a few wealthy media conglomerates. 
But the powers-that-be haven't entirely reckoned with the power of a 
gripping movie to change people's minds….</span></br></br></br></br></br></br>
