This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 184.73.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:41, 2 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Freedom Downtime''''' is a 2001 [[documentary film]] sympathetic to the convicted [[Hacker (computer security)|computer hacker]] [[Kevin Mitnick]], directed by [[Eric Corley|Emmanuel Goldstein]] and produced by [[2600 Films]].

The documentary centers on the fate of Mitnick, who is claimed to have been misrepresented in the feature film ''[[Track Down|Takedown]]'' (2000) produced by [[Miramax]] and adapted from the book by the same name by [[Tsutomu Shimomura]] and [[John Markoff]], which is based on disputed events. The film also documents a number of computer enthusiasts who drive across the United States searching for Miramax representatives and demonstrating their discontent with certain aspects of the [[Bootleg recording|bootleg]] script of ''Takedown'' they had acquired. One of their major points of criticism was that the script ended with Mitnick being convicted to serve a long-term prison sentence, while in reality, at the time the film's production, Mitnick had not yet even had a trial but nonetheless was incarcerated for five years without [[bail]] in a high-security facility. Freedom Downtime also touches on what happened to other hackers after being sentenced. The development of the [[Free Kevin movement]] is also covered.

Several notable and iconic figures from the hacking community appear in the movie, including [[Phiber Optik]] (Mark Abene), [[Bernie S]] (Ed Cummings), Alex Kasper, and director [[Eric Corley|Emmanuel Goldstein]] (Eric Corley). ''Freedom Downtime'' tries to communicate a different view of the hacker community from that usually shown by the [[mainstream media]], with hackers being depicted as curious people who rarely intend to cause damage, driven by a desire to explore and conduct pranks. The film questions the rationality of placing computer hackers who went "over the line" in the same environment as serious felons.

It also contains interviews with people related to Mitnick and [[hacker culture]] in general. The authors of ''Cyberpunk: Outlaws and Hackers on the Computer Frontier'',<ref>((cite book |last=Hafner |first=Katie |authorlink=Katie Hafner |last2=Markoff |first2=John |authorlink2=John Markoff |year=1991 |title=Cyberpunk: Outlaws and Hackers on the Computer Frontier |location=New York |publisher=[[Simon & Schuster]] |isbn=0-671-68322-5 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/cyberpunk00kati ))</ref> ex-couple [[Katie Hafner]] and [[John Markoff]], appear in very different roles. While Hafner's empathy for Mitnick is shown to have grown, Markoff continues to defend his critical book and articles in [[The New York Times]] newspaper about the hacker. Markoff is ridiculed as the narrator, director Goldstein (a hacker himself), points out his factual errors during the interview. Reba Vartanian, Mitnick's grandmother, also appears in a number of interview segments. Furthermore, lawyers, friends, and libertarians give their view of the story. Footage and interviews from the [[DEF CON]] and [[H.O.P.E.|Hackers on Planet Earth]] conventions try to dispel some hacker myths and confirm others.

The film premiered at H2K, the 2000 H.O.P.E. convention.  After that the film saw a limited independent theatrical release and was shown at film festivals.  It was released on VHS and sold via the ''[[2600 The Hacker Quarterly|2600]]'' website.

In June 2004, a DVD was released.  The DVD includes a wealth of extra material spread over two discs, including three hours of extra footage, an interview with Kevin Mitnick in January 2003 (shortly after his supervised release ended), and various [[Easter egg (virtual)|DVD eggs]].<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.2600.com/easter/eggs.html |title = Freedom Downtime Easter Eggs))</ref> It also includes subtitles in 20 languages, provided by volunteers.
