This is something the big movie companies would rather you did'nt read.
http://techdirt.com/articles/20071113/170813.shtmlSome independent film makers are talking up how wonderful it is that people are "pirating" their film. The website rslog.net reviewed their film, The Man from Earth, and pointed out the many places online where it could be downloaded. It turned out that people really seemed to love the movie.
Thousands downloaded it... and they started promoting it to others.
The movie's ranking on IMDB shot up and it's getting attention from all over the place. The producer of the movie wrote to rslog to thank them for promoting the movie, noting that next time he'll probably upload his next movie to various torrent sites himself.
The director of the movie also chimed in with his support.
Once again, the old saying is true: obscurity is a much bigger threat to creative works than piracy
Its nice to see yet another success story amongst the constant flow of negative propaganda we are beseiged with online.
