08.18.09Hello world!The Weimar-based KoCA — Kiosk of Contemporary Art was squatted by Anonymous, using it to install the Kiosk of Piracy there. The KOP aims to be a think tank and physical host for offline net activism, such as projects about the sense and absense of copyright and intellectual property (aka Copyfight).

It is not connected to the Internet, though providing all the services (web archive, torrent tracker, upload function) via Wifi in a 100-200m range around the ...
