p2pnet - rss feed: Steal This Film: Thanks : )
p2pnet.net News:- Here’s a movie MPAA boss China Dan Glickman and his Hollywood employers aren’t going to like.
It’s called Steal This Film and it was made by the League of Noble Peers, an open network of people, “qualified neither by name, age or state”.
Most of Part I was, “quite accidentally, made by porn producers, lawyers and programmers,” LNP told p2pnet. “Part II may be very different. If there’s one point that we’d like to get across, it’s that authorship is dead, buried and done with.”
And, “Hey, it’s starring, amongst others, the crew of The Pirate Bay and people from Piratbyrån!” - observes The Pirate Bay blog.
Meanwhile, “Despite all the hullabaloo, the current release version of Steal This Film is actually just a very quick pre-release of (something like a making-of) that doesn’t adopt the panicky-sensationalist perspective of old media, but shares the point of view of millions of people who experience file-sharing as a completely self-evident, positive and productive part of their daily lives,” says LNP, adding:
“We just thought it was about time we told the story and we happened to have the time and energy to do it.
“The League of Noble Peers is not ‘directly connected’ to The Pirate Bay, but as we know by now, networks are tricky things.
“The League has blurry boundaries. What we would like to say is Thank You to the hundreds of thousands of people who have downloaded Steal This Film, and the hundreds who donated so that we can make the next part more easily.”
Group members say they haven’t yet met their goal for funding the next part, so, “keep PayPal-ing donations if you feel like it: donate@stealthisfilm.com, or buying t-shirts. We make $11 on each shirt, so that’s great for us.”
And not only but also, they’re still looking for collaborators: “There’s virtually nothing we don’t need help with so don’t be shy.”
(Cheers, Elizabeth. We got there in the end : )

They are sooooooooooooooo lame (**AA), they’re desperately trying to make an old business model stick, but times changed. Back in the day, their market segment was limited by the efficiency of communication technologies. Amounts of music and movies were sold according to how many people knew about a specific work. Now, the internet means everyone knows about everybody, it’s not possible not to know about all artists there are, according to their popularity, not according to the limits of communication technologies anymore, if the artist exists, people connected to the net knows about them, as a whole.
Movie and music studios have now the opportunity to profit from mass sales, rather than from overpriced items, by perhaps lowering the price of the individual items to levels that make illegal file sharing not worth people’s time, but NOOOOOO, they want their old profit scheme, thousand times fold, at a world wide level. Hey, the increased sales compensate for the lowered price, don’t they? They don’t see it that way sadly. I wonder if greed makes you blind to possible solutions to a problem, even if they are right in front of your face.
These porkorations can kiss my ass.
