Der Film ist im Rahmen einer Diplomarbeit an der Hochschule für Gestaltung, Offenbach am Main entstanden. Untersucht wird die Informations- und Medienarbeit der Bundeswehr. Ausgehend vom “sicherheitspolitischen Paradigmenwechsel” am Ende des kalten Krieges werden Kontinuitäten und Wechsel in diesem Bereich betrachtet.

In 2006, a group of friends decided to make a film about filesharing that *we* would recognise. There have been a few documentaries by 'old media' crews who don't understand the net and see peer-to-peer organisation as a threat to their livelihoods. They have no reason to represent the filesharing movement positively, and no capacity to represent it lucidly.

Fire comes to us
from the sky and the sea

Here we are, 24 years later,
again besieged by the same enemy

History, however, does not repeat itself,
it perpetuates itself

The foreigners are leaving
(many among them are Lebanese
who enjoy a double nationality)

Who witnesses for the witness?
asked Paul Celan in another time

Disaster takes care of everything

I wanted to raise my left fist,
but in the meantime I lost my sense of humour

Oh cities that have never been invaded
Have you no nostalgia for the enemy?
