Filesharing movie yet to break even
A movie about filesharing titled Steal This Film is already being hailed a major success by the filesharing community, despite the movie not yet making back enough to cover the cost of its production.
The first part of Steal This Film focuses on the raid of filesharing portal The Pirate Bay. The second part takes a deeper look into the world of filesharing. Reps from The Pirate Bay and Mininova have starring roles.
The film has mostly relied on donations from the filesharing community. For anyone interested in filesharing, this movie is a must see that really challenges the way moviemakers approach the issue of filesharing. Don’t expect Hollywood to follow suit any time soon, however, as radical forward thinking is not one of the strong points of the movie industry or the music biz.
Steal This Movie is, of course, available on all filesharing networks the world over. To donate to the cause, download this client, watch for the movie and vote for it for a chance to win the filmmakers $30,000 towards their project.
