Director Uses Takedowns to Remove Pirate Bay Docu "TPB-AFK" from YouTube. (torrentfreak.com)

In an unexpected turn of events, the director of the Pirate Bay documentary TPB-AFK has sent takedown notices to YouTube requesting its removal. The director states that he sees the streaming portal as a radicalizing platform full of hate. The takedowns are not without controversy, however, as TPB-AFK was published under a Creative Commons license.

Ah hell, I don't know anything about it, but figured I'd go ahead and download it to watch later.

You still can, it's on archive.org!

Edit: not sure if I'm allowed to post the direct link, but it comes up right away on the search.

I see no reason why not, it's Creative Commons licensed. Would be different if it were actually pirated content but it isn't. It's freely sharable.

tldr: the author doesn't want the documentary anymore on Youtube specifically, anywhere else seems to be still ok.
