Because people are innovative, that’s why. Angolans are being given free access to Wikipedia and Facebook — and only Wikipedia and Facebook — and they’re still managing to pirate movies. “Wikimedia and Facebook have given Angolans free access to their websites, but not to the rest of the internet. So, naturally, Angolans have started hiding pirated movies and music in Wikipedia articles and linking to them on closed Facebook groups, creating a totally free and clandestine file sharing network in a country where mobile internet data is extremely expensive.”
