The Pirate Bay's Oldest Torrent Is Revolution OS

jrepin writes "After nearly 9 years of seeding The Pirate Bay's oldest working torrent is still very much alive. Interestingly, the torrent is not a Hollywood classic nor is it an evergreen music album. The honor goes to a pirated copy of Revolution OS, a documentary covering the history of Linux, GNU and the free software movement."

It's a good documentary

Very outdated, but still incredibly interesting and didactic. Oh, obligatory link in case you want something even easier than torrenting.

Thanks for the new word. First time in a while I had to head to the dictionary. A Wikipedia snippet for others that don't know this word:

Didacticism is a philosophy that emphasizes instructional and informative qualities in literature and other types of art. The term has its origin in the Ancient Greek word (didaktikos), "related to education and teaching", and signified learning in a fascinating and intriguing manner.

Not everyone lives in California. Downloading is legal in Switzerland for example (and there's other places where it is).

Re:Oldest torrent on TPB isn't porn?

"TPB _HAS_ older porn (and other stuff) than this movie"

Citation required. Please provide links so I may satisfy my academic curiosity.

Seriously I can find porn several decades older than the said movie, but TFA is talking about the torrent file itself. You might upload your VHS rip of Deep Throat today but that won't make it older than the torrent of this movie.
