"In this project Amazon.com's website was the vulnerable target. We eluded their copyright protections with a sophisticated hack of the "Search Inside" service. We stole complete digital volumes of books, reassembled them into .pdf format and redistributed them for free. The project generated reactions from the press, which then posed embarrassing questions to Amazon. The performance is documented through various types of offline conceptual installations and stolen books and printed like the originals." - Paolo Cirio,
