Large publishing companies are gatekeeping free knowledge, and the United States Congress is about to pass laws that would hand corporations the power to shut down any website they want. As panic ensues, people believe their favorite sites like YouTube and Wikipedia could be terminated for good. However, one sole hacker fights back to keep both the web and the knowledge within it free for everyone. While doing so, he breaks into MIT, starts worldwide movements, and even teams up with 4Chan's Anonymous to send a clear message. But the United States government will do anything in its power to destroy him for good. This is the story of the hacker who saved the internet. 👕 Merch: https://www.pezle.store/ 💻 Discord: https://discord.gg/e7Yn9mm8De ℹ️ Sources: https://pastebin.com/kyCw6KxK 📨 Business Email / Submit Ideas: pezle@protonmail.com Twitter 𝕏: https://x.com/Pezle_ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pezle_/ 🎵 Soundtrack: Pest Control (Old School RuneScape, Jagex) Etecoon Tunnel (William Kage) Gambling in Onett (William Kage) Launch Trailer Theme (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Valve) demonic little grey cat theme song (vivivivivi) Cipher (LEMMiNO) Dead Can Dance (Old School RuneScape, Jagex) Cellar Song (Old School RuneScape, Jagex) credits song for my death (vivivivivi) Baroque (Old School RuneScape, Jagex) You are Not Part of the Control Group (Portal 2, Valve) Stargazing Sage (William Kage) Harmony (Old School RuneScape, Jagex) Aria Math (C418) Ready for Battle (Old School RuneScape, Jagex) Dreamscape, Famitracker Cover (009 Sound System) Halfont Title Track (William Kage) Determination (William Kage) Prince of Eblan / Edge's Theme (William Kage) Genocide (William Kage) Moog City (C418) Wilderness 2 (Old School RuneScape, Jagex) Ghost of Rattman (Portal 2, Valve) Defend the Bombsite (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Valve) Castlewars (Old School RuneScape, Jagex) Cat (C418) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Used with the kind permission of (please go support them!): William Kage: https://williamkage.bandcamp.com/ C418: https://c418.bandcamp.com/ vivivivivi: https://tech-noir1.bandcamp.com/ LEMMiNO: https://www.lemmino.net/ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Created using intellectual property belonging to Jagex Limited under the terms of Jagex’s Fan Content Policy.
