torrentfreak.com — "On Piracy" is a detailed and insightful documentary about picacy, DRM, copyright law, and digital media, with views from both sides of the fence. And the good thing is, the DVD can be downloaded for free.

i'm downloading the torrent as we speak i hope it's a good movie just like that movie thepiratebay made i just can't remember the name off the top of my head.

@PhyActually. I'm on a ?20 p/m plan (that's somewhere around $38 to you) for 30GB peak, 300GB offpeak at 8Mbit/s. Being that I'm in the UK, I get raped over bandwidth (despite this package being one of the more generous). So although it isn't 'our' fault, it certainly at the very least... a problem, for the person who wanted to spread their documentary to as many as possible.

When they floated the tack on of about $5 for each broadband connection where it'd allow you to download all you want, I was all for it. But instead they'll be inflexible.

same reason as me. its evidently too hard to seed a file around for a few hours for most of the bittorrent artards.

Ironic a film about piracy not in xvid, IRC or Usenet.

Agreed. I was in disbelief when that guy finally got around to his conclusion. Worst argument ever.

I was also shocked by his arguments about DRM. It was basically:"The reason DRM is a problem is because it doesn't work everywhere. The reason it doesn't work everywhere is simply because technology is not sufficient to convert a .WMV (sic, he meant .wma) file to a format an iPod can play. Why would I want to make it HARD for someone to experience my music?? Do I LOOK stupid?! (At which point I screamed YES!!!!!)"He acts like theres no such thing as a .wma to .mp3 converter! Either he is clueless, or trying to steer people away from the REAL issue of why their media won't play.
