Pirate Cinema is a do-it-yourself cinema. Recently Pirate Cinema has been associated with groups in Brazil, Berlin, Copenhagen, Melbourne and Helsinki, where local Pirate Cinema groups are associated with the anti-copyright movement and squatting.[1]
At its simplest Pirate Cinema involved the screening of a movie in front of an audience, for free. Some Pirate Cinema groups perceive their actions within a political context, by deliberately screening copyrighted movies, or movies that document the current copyright debate.
In connection with showing copyrighted movies the Pirate Cinema group in Helsinki had confrontation with the local police.
Pirate Cinema groups are also active in Amsterdam, Stockholm, Paris and London.[2]
