Rasmus Fleischer

Born 1978. Swedish historian, musician, freelance journalist and debater. He holds a Ph.D. from the department of contemporary history at Södertörn University College in southern Stockholm.

In 2003, he was one of the founders of Piratbyrån, the anti-copyright organization that, in turn, once founded BitTorrent tracker The Pirate Bay. Since then he has been lecturing extensively, on subjects related to "the collapse of copyright" and the future of music, at various European conferences addressing art and/or new media.
