The Pirate Bay Documentary Trailer

Founded in Sweden in 2003 as a search engine to facilitate file sharing via BitTorrent, The Pirate Bay quickly grew into the go-to website for illegal file sharing in the post-Napster download world. Ultimately, the site’s founders were put on trial in Sweden and found guilty of facilitating the downloading of copyrighted material – resulting in short-term prison sentences, fines of more than $3.5 million USD, and the subsequent blocking of The Pirate Bay’s ISPs in countries around the world.

Now, filmmaker Simon Klose is set to shed light on the history of the site and its founders with his documentary, The Pirate Bay Away From Keyboard. Focusing on the trial itself and founders Gottfrid Svartholm, Fredik Neij and Peter Sunde, Klose’s documentary also looks to provide a behind-the-scenes look at the operations of The Pirate Bay and Hollywood’s fight to bring it down. The Pirate Bay Away From Keyboard will debut soon with a release date set to be announced later this month.

Behind-the-Scenes of Beyoncé’s GQ “Sexiest Women of the 21st Century” Photoshoot

We’ve seen a glimpse of the illustrious photos of the iconic queen bee featured in GQ “Sexiest Women of the 21st Century.” Now, we get a behind-the-scenes clip of the provocative photo shoot led by celebrity shutterbug, Terry Richardson. Donned as Ms. Millenium by the influential publication, Ms.Knowles proves her title through an array of different outfits and narratives. Despite facing challenges with pregnancy and age, Beyoncé appears as youthful as ever, cavorting in front of the camera in light-hearted charisma.

Myspace Unveils Next Generation Redesign

Expertly synced with the release of Justin Timberlake‘s groovy new hit “Suit & Tie,” Myspace has unveiled its newest redesign to the public today. Prior to this, the new version of the website was only available to select beta entrants, but today has been opened for mass registration. Skepticism of the website’s potential success first arose upon the release of a promotional trailer in September 2012, when details of Timberlake and Specific Media’s joint purchase came to the spotlight. Adding a social aspect to music seems to be the key focus in this version of the site. The front page of the new Myspace plays home, at least for now, to access of Timberlake’s newest single, providing added incentive for users to sign up. If there is room for a new reigning social media network, the space will be created by Myspace in the coming months.

Hypbeast Recaps CES 2013

The annually held Consumer Electronics Show was recently hosted in Las Vegas with over 3,000 exhibitors showcasing the latest technological innovations in the fields of audio, photography, automotive electronics, lifestyle electronics and more. Emphasizing interactivity for attendees, emerging innovation was placed at the fingertips of visitors as various concepts and displays competed for attention. It seems clear a further implementation in flexible OLED screens, 3D, and Ultra HD or 4K displays are on the horizon for consumers as a new standard, promising to eclipse the current LCD benchmark.

Within the grouping of trade shows that travel from California to New York in January, AGENDA stands out as one that caters to those in attendance for its founding purpose: the buying and selling of clothing and other commodities, particularly within the realm of streetwear and action sports. As seen in the above footage, showcased is the Long Beach Convention Center’s expansive space, from its beautiful exterior to an inside lined with elaborate product displays. What’s more is that we had the opportunity to sit down with exhibitors like Tom Ruiz of Volcom and Tavik’s Erick Paulsen to uncover why they enjoy attending AGENDA and its impact on the industry.
