small podcast with very minimal outside funding. Thank you so much for your consideration. And now back to the
story. My name is Will. And this past year has been complete hell for me. I think we can all say that to
some degree, but I genuinely mean it. I lost my job, got kicked out of my apartment, and wound up
living on the streets for a few months. The only thing that saved me, as crazy as it sounds,
was selling illegal copies of movies from the dark web. I was at a homeless shelter,
waiting in line for the daily meal when one of the men in line started to openly complain.
This food tastes like shit. You all are trying to poison us, he shouted. You know there are quicker
ways to make money than sitting around here waiting for government stimulus, he added.
Everyone ignored him. Everyone except me. Once I got my meal, I slid over to his taste. I
and introduced myself. You sure were big talk in the line a second ago. You really know a quick way to
make money? I asked him. Sure I do, but it is risky, and I wouldn't recommend it for a young person
like you with lots of life to live, he said. Just tell me, I demanded. All right, sure. You know how we
get web access for one hour per day? Well, I can teach you how to access the dark web and sell certain
digital products to customers, he promised. I told him I was interested, and we agreed to meet up and share
our computer time that evening after dinner. I sat alongside him in the rec room as he logged into
the private browser and typed in a website on the dark web. This place here is a marketplace that
offers movies and TV shows at a cheap price. You can sign up to be an affiliate for them. All you need
to do is sell them to people in real life or to people on the internet for a discounted price. The
dark web marketplaces usually take a 50% cut. It may not seem like great money, but if you sell a few
200 copies, that can add up to a lot. As we search the forum, I noticed quite a few links to
movies that normally cost money from streaming apps like Disney and Hulu. So what you'll need to do
is agree to be a third-party seller for one of these bigger companies, he said. That sounds easy enough.
I used to work as a telemarketer, and I was pretty good at selling people's stuff, I admitted.
Then this should be right up your alley, but do be careful. Oftentimes, criminals use these
DVDs to spread viruses to people's hard drives and such. I would recommend you verify the content
before you actually sell it. Make sure you aren't giving people more shit, he said. The next day,
I used my computer time to locate three different employers on the same webpage. My job was simple.
They would send me a copy of a pirated movie, either from a streaming service that would normally
cost money, or from a stream they had recorded themselves. From there, it would be up to me
to sell it. Since my computer time was limited, I chatted with friends at the
a shelter convincing them to buy my movies. For a while, it wasn't a bad situation. I sold five to
seven movies a week and had enough money for food and new clothes. I was still at the shelter,
but at least it didn't feel like I was going to be trapped there forever. Eventually, I was able to
get out of the shelter and into a small crappy apartment while I increased my illegal movie
operation. One day, I got on my computer to look at new movies to sell. I noticed I had received
a new message from a seller. It was a Korean distributor named
world movies. They even wanted to sign me up for a permanent contract as their marketer. The contract
was simple enough, or so I thought. All content sent by world movies cannot be viewed except by
the buying party. Employees of world movies must never open any content from the company or risk
losing all benefits. I figured it was just an excuse to make sure that someone didn't upload the
movies they had hacked and stole online for free. In other words, they wanted to be sure they got their
cut. I jumped into regular online chat rooms, finding customers left and right to sell my movies to.
I had a sales pitch for every situation ready to type into the chat. You will never find a movie
like this on Hulu, and not at this price. You're wasting money every month on Netflix and maybe watch
like five things. At least this way you get your money's worth. I know you can't go see movies right now,
so rather than pay for a premium service, just get the movies you want at half the price. I never even
look to see what movies I was selling. I figured any content was better than nothing at all.
People were starving to watch something fresh and new, and rarely did they question where I got
my movies. It was a mutual understanding between seller and client. They scratched my back,
and I scratched theirs. But it didn't last that long. One day I was checking my emails when I
noticed a reply from one of my customers, demanding that I provide a refund. Your movies caused my
wife to harm herself. I was in the other room cooking, and I heard these otherworldly screams
coming from the den. When I got in there, I saw she had taken a knife and plunged it into her
eyes, the message read. Soon I received a dozen more similar messages, describing visceral accounts
of people mutilating their bodies after watching the films I had sent. Reading through their
experiences made my entire body shake. Each one was worse than the last. My little kids were
hoping to watch a wholesome flick. Instead, I watched as they tore one another apart. I was helpless
to stop it. It felt like there was something else there in the room with me when I watched the film.
I was lucky to make it through the film alive. At one point, I felt compelled to actually try and
hang myself. My roommate managed to stop me before I did. Thank God. The last one made me even more
worried for my personal safety. This feels like domestic terrorism. I'm reporting your IP
address to the police. My first reaction was to try and contact
the World Movies representative. But to my surprise, it looked like their entire website was shut down.
No record of it even existed. I tried a different approach and went to the main forum and typed in a
question. As anyone else had a bad experience working with World Movies? I asked. I received no response.
I closed the laptop and tried to get some sleep. I couldn't help the people who had already been hurt,
but maybe I could get to the bottom of what was happening. In the morning, I got a message from an anonymous
user asking me to join in a private chat. They called themselves Benedict. When did you work for
world movies? They typed out. For the past week, I sold about 10 of their movies to people across the
web. I was expecting a 20% commission, I told them. A payday is going to be the very least of your worries
very soon, the user told me. What do you mean? I asked. World movies shut their doors to the public in
2008, at least 12 years ago. They were caught in a scandal selling torture films and questionable
porn to people online, they replied.
Another similar operation must have taken up the name, I said.
You're not getting it, are you?
All the films were confiscated by authorities, mostly destroyed or sealed up by federal lawsuits.
The films you have been selling, they are cursed, the reply came.
I don't believe you.
There has to be another explanation, I said.
Have you watched one of them?
That's against company policy, I said.
Open one, and tell me that you don't look straight into the pits of hell, they replied.
The chat ended a moment later.
I sat there for a long time, checking messages and debating what to do.
I decided to watch one of the movies.
I opened it up on my computer and hit play.
Text came on the screen read,
Subject 76851, William Alcrest.
My heart dropped.
That was my name.
Then I watched as it showed the last few weeks of my life through the lens of an outsider.
Every movement I made on camera mimicked my actions in the real world.
world, going to the shelter, buying the films, except the film changed some of the details.
In this version, I was the one making these illegal movies. There was no third party. I was the one
making people suffer and then filming it for sport. It was disgusting to watch, but I knew and understood
what was happening, even as the final screen flashed up. All information has been forwarded to
authorities. I sat there in my room waiting for the cops to come. I decided I'm going to give
world movies one more film to add to their collection as I load my gun. So if you are the one watching
this now, the curse is on you. Goodbye. We've all been there. The watch party finally makes it out
