Movie leaked after years of suppression by Scientology watch!

thepiratebay.org — Years ago, in 2001, several film directors worked on a documentary called "The Profit", indirectly telling the story about how the Scientology came to be what it is today. Before it could be released, the CoS managed to get it banned, even after it claimed that it was totally unrelated to Scientology. But now it has been leaked. See for yourself.

  • defender11111, on 03/22/2008, -5/+152I do this for free. You think wrong.
    How much are your OSA agents payed to bury Digg, to stalk protestors, to put LSD in the toothpaste of a pregnant woman?
    We support freedom of religion. Scientology is not equal to the Church of Scientology.

  • inactive, on 03/22/2008, -3/+137Your statement is so true. We are not against religions. We are against cults. The Cult of Scientology, simple as that.
  • DonSlice, on 03/22/2008, -1/+120I have no interest in the movie, but I will download and seed on principle alone.

  • rancidpony, on 03/22/2008, -1/+63What's the big deal with this movie? Scientology has been trying to suppress it for 7 years.

    Here is the scoop from IMDB:

    "The Profit is a feature film written and directed by Peter N. Alexander. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in France in 2001. Distribution of the film was prohibited by an American court order which was a result of a lawsuit brought by the Church of Scientology, although the filmmaker says that the film is not about Scientology. The Disinformation Book Of Lists and The Times have characterized The Profit as a banned film in the United States.

    The film was described by its producers as a work of fiction, meant to educate the public about cults and con men. It was widely seen, however, as a parody of the Church of Scientology and its founder, L. Ron Hubbard. The main character L. Conrad Powers leads an organization called the "Church of Scientific Spiritualism", and many elements about both the Church portrayed in the film, and Powers' life have been compared to Scientology and Hubbard. The film was mainly produced and shot in Tampa Bay, Florida, and the cast included actors from the area and cameos from a few Scientology critics.

    The Church of Scientology did not think favorably of the piece. Representatives from the Foundation for Religious Tolerance of Florida came to protest the film, and the film's producers asserted that they were harassed by Scientologists. Initially, representatives of the Church stated the film had no resemblance to Scientology, but later the Church initiated litigation to block the film's distribution. As a result of a 2002 court order from the Lisa McPherson case, a Pinellas County judge blocked further distribution of the film in the United States. According to the film's attorney the injunction was lifted in 2007, but distribution is still blocked due to a conflict with one of the producers, Bob Minton. The film generally did not receive positive reviews from local press, and reviews in the St. Petersburg Times criticized over-the-top acting, and noted that the director should have instead produced a non-fiction documentary piece if he wanted to educate others about cults."

  • MnMChocolate, on 03/22/2008, -4/+61Scientology is a creepy thing, seriously. Whenever I think of scientology I see people dying and getting killed. That's why I don't really want to get involved in this or else I may be harmed. But for the sake of mankind, I must.

  • apc3161, on 03/22/2008, -4/+51How the hell can a movie be "Banned" in the U.S? Any constitutional guys out there wanna help explain?
  • inactive, on 03/22/2008, -0/+42Here is "The Bridge" movie, the other movie the 'Church' does not want you to see:

    "The Profit" may be the first movie critical of Scientology to be made, "The Bridge" was the first critical movie of Scientology to ever be released.

    I know I said seed.. think about it.
  • SSIV, on 03/22/2008, -1/+35Scientology can't act like they police the world. Influencing higher-ups with false beliefs to achieve their goals is unacceptable. Finally a solid move in the right direction.

  • threemagic, on 03/22/2008, -0/+28If a religion was based on the sacrificing of human beings, I wouldn't support it either. Don't confuse Freedom of Religion as a free pass to do as you please.
  • smurf22, on 03/22/2008, -0/+27I will be one of those seeders as soon as it is done downloading.

  • directedition, on 03/22/2008, -5/+29I really have to hand it to Anonymous. Setting up protests are one thing. Actually producing insider material is another. These people are actually going to work.
  • purzzzell, on 03/22/2008, -0/+24it's a movie that's banned in the US
  • latinjones, on 03/22/2008, -1/+25I get it! Tom Cruise has always been fascinated with horticulture! LOL!

  • crossmr, on 03/22/2008, -2/+25but its a vhs to dvd convert.. I can't imagine it needs to be that big given the poor quality to start with..
  • xqb4dpx, on 03/22/2008, -4/+27someone already posted a [ h.264/AAC ] ??? http://thepiratebay.org/tor/4092911 ... either way, its there. only 1gb
  • inactive, on 03/22/2008, -4/+26The judges are sucking scieno dick.
  • aywwts4, on 03/22/2008, -1/+23Actually its the exact opposite, nice clean crisp unwavering digital images can be compressed well and successfully.

    But poorer quality video with static or tracking issues is a lot harder to compress, since everything on the screen, not just the real motion, is moving. It doesn't know what is important and what is noise and static. Of course it can still be compressed, it is more likely to look considerably worse than the source VHS tape.

    But moving on, here is the 700 meg xvid rip http://thepiratebay.org/tor/4093016/
  • lordspidey, on 03/22/2008, -10/+31Worth Downloading the 4 Gig movie...

  • capiCrimm, on 03/22/2008, -12/+33I believe that was /sarcasm, and I wish people would put LSD in my toothpaste. You can't seriously think that's a bad thing?
