Are hackers
malicious vandals or cyberspace freedom fighters? In the last
few years hacking has become synonymous in the media and the public
mind with electronic crime. Federal agencies come down hard on
anyone they catch, and all of a sudden what used to be seen as
intellectual playfulness has become a serious matter ... This
documentary looks at the "2600" community in today's
New York City, its meetings, conferences and politics, and traces
the origins of the term 'hacking' back to the model train enthusiasts
at MIT.

by Emmanuel Goldstein (a.k.a.

“Freedom
Downtime” is the story of computer hacker Kevin Mitnick,
imprisoned without bail for nearly five years. The film tries
to uncover the reasons why the authorities are so scared of Mitnick
as well as to define exactly what it was that he did. A cross-country
journey uncovers some of the realities of the hacker culture,
including the sobering fact that so many technically-adept young
people seem destined for prison.
Hippies
from Hell are a group of hackers, techies, artists, writers and
puzzlers. In the eighties they published the hacker magazine Hacktic
and in 1993 they started the first Dutch Internet-provider, xs4all,
thus opening the Internet for the general public. They throw wild
parties and organize open-air hacker festivals, using the Internet
as their social platform.
