[zio_donnie]

TPB AFK, the documentary about torrent-indexing service The Pirate Bay, will premiere Feb. 8 at the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival.

The film will also debut online that same day, for free, director Simon Klose announced Tuesday. It will be shared under a Creative Commons license, marking the first time a movie would screen online at the same time as its Berlinale premiere.

TPB AFK, which was partially funded through Kickstarter, tells the story of The Pirate Bay's founders, who were found guilty in 2009 of promoting piracy in Sweden. They were sentenced to serve one year in prison, and pay a fine of 30 million Swedish krona ($3.5 million).
