Freedom Downtime (2001) DVDRip (Eng)-BlacKKnight.mp4

Computer hackers are being portrayed as the newest brand of

terrorists. This is a story of a hacker named Kevin Mitnick,

imprisoned without bail for nearly five years. Freedom Downtime

tries to uncover the reasons why the authorities are so scared

of Mitnick as well as define what exactly he did. Surprisingly,

no real evidence is ever presented by the authorities to back

up the sensationalist claims in mass media. But when a Hollywood

studio decides to make a movie about Mitnick's life through the

eyes of one of his accusers, hackers turn to activism to get

their message out. Through interviews with relatives, friends,

lawyers, and experts in the computer and civil liberties arena,

a picture of a great injustice becomes apparent. A cross-country

journey uncovers some realities of the hacker culture as well

as the sobering fact that so many technically young adept people

are being imprisoned.
