Documentary detailing music piracy is released as torrent

The producers of Good Copy, Bad Copy, a new documentary that analyzes the current state of global music piracy, have decided to release the movie for free, and via torrents in XviD format.

The movie goes in depth on the line between "fair use" and piracy and includes many interviews, including some notable ones like DJ Danger Mouse, the creator of the "Grey Album", Lawerence Lessig (founder of Creative Commons), the admins of The Pirate Bay, and an official from the MPAA.

Although we cannot directly link to the torrent, it can be found at The Pirate Bay as well as on the official website here.

what would have been funny is if this was a official movie somewhere that someone stole and put on a torrent

nobrainer

there are several cool vids released under creative commons and free to download, plenty of history and science vids that are far more informative than the discovery channel as its made for students not couch potato idiots!

Could this be a trick that the MPAA is puting in place for people to download and then it has a tracker of sorts attached to the movie file.
