Summary:
Trent McCauley is sixteen, excellent, and enthusiastic about a very important factor: making movies in his computer by sampling and reassembling footage he downloads from the net. In the near-future Britain where Trent keeps growing up, that is even more illegal than ever before; if you’re caught three times, your complete household is take off from the web for a calendar year, with no appeal.
Trent is sure this won’t happen to him; he’s too clever. Except it does, and it almost destroys his family-his father’s living, his mother’s about Pirate Movie theater wellness, and his child sister’s research all rely on Internet access. Shamed and shattered, Trent works apart to London where he discovers how to stay alive over the roads. This drops him directly into the city’s always-rambunctious road scene, a demimonde of performers and activists who are fighting a new bill that will criminalize digital copying a lot more harmless than Trent’s, making thousands of people felons at a heart stroke. The government is within the grip of a few wealthy media conglomerates. But the forces that end up being haven’t entirely reckoned with the energy of a film to change people’s minds . .
