Another day, another Christian mother-blogger bawling over the death of her child. For what it's worth, I'm sympathetic to the plight of grief-stricken parents who are constantly bombarded by the images of their lovely toddlers maimed or murdered in some random act of terror. But sometimes people just need a break. Or at least that’s what I thought when I read Garakolbegan tweeting out links to pirated copies of The Dark Knight Rises on BitTorrent last week. At first glance she seemed like an average Christian mom, but there was something missing in her tweets: no sense that she'd be sacrificing important intellectual property if she were caught downloading pirated content. That didn't sit right with me, so I did a little digging. The BitTorrent channel of the channel she uses, @Garakolbegan, was just one of many channels her account followed. There were others for TV shows, movies, games—even one for pirated ebooks! I found that Garakolbegan had typed out an ad for her ebook channel in the BitTorrent chat channel she shared with her ebook pirate buddies. "Join this channel to get books for free," it read. "More info on the website below." But where was this mystery website? Digging deeper I found it: garakolbengalifullmoviedownload.wordpress. com. And there it was: Garakolbengalifullmoviedownload.wordpress.com, a Wordpress blog that had been active for two months. You can guess from the title that this is a blog about movies, but it isn't a typical movie blog. It's a blog about a mom who has ripped and uploaded hundreds of movies to her website and who has been actively encouraging torrent users to download them for free on the Pirate Bay and Kickass Torrents. What's more, her Wordpress profile showed that she'd been active on the site since 2011. I couldn't believe it. Not only was Garakolbengalifullmoviedownload.wordpress.com operating for at least two years, but its owner, who calls herself "Garakol," was actually admitting to RIAA investigators that she had uploaded the songs herself and wasn't hosting anything from other people on her server. In a chat log from 2011 with a user named "RIAA," Garakol writes: I don't want to pay for something I can get free from my friend who goes here all the time. This is obviously a reference to the café in Malaysia where she's from. I couldn't believe someone who was so open to RIAA investigators would be this brazen about uploading pirated content in the public eye. But there it was: dozens of links to pirated movies hosted on Kickass Torrents and The Pirate Bay, with a few links to ebooks she'd uploaded on her own Wordpress blog, too. Garakol isn't just anyone doing this under the radar, either. She has been actively promoting her ebook and movie channels on Twitter, gathering followers from around the world—including Brazil, Egypt, Indonesia and Malaysia—and sharing screenshots of books and movies she's downloaded from Bittorrent sites. cfa1e77820
