ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Trending: The Movies Hidden in Wikipedia

The Essential

Available for over a year

In Bangladesh, Wikipedia is fighting online pirates who are using its site to allow people to secretly download bootlegged Hollywood films for free. The pirates are hiding movie files on websites which poorer people can access for free in Bangladesh, as part of a scheme to encourage internet use. The practice is illegal, but some say it poses difficult questions about internet access in the developing world. Photo credit: Shutterstock
