StealThisFilm.Part1.mov

In 2006, a group of friends decided to make a film about filesharing that we would recognise. There have been a few documentaries by 'old media' crews who don't understand the net and see peer-to-peer organisation as a threat to their livelihoods. They have no reason to represent the filesharing movement positively, and no capacity to represent it lucidly. We wanted to make a film that would explore this huge popular movement in a way that excited us, engaged us, and most importantly, focussed on what we know to be the positive and optimistic vision many filesharers and artists (they are often one) have for the future of creativity. Hopefully you'll enjoy the first part of STEAL THIS FILM ('Stockholm, Summer 2006'). It achieves some, but by no means all, of our goals. To continue we need your help. This film is free for you to share, watch on your DVD player or on your iPod, or show in cinemas. But if you like the work we've done and want us to carry on, use our donate link to send us a couple of dollars or euros. We will start making the second part straight away, and release it on www.stealthisfilm.com and on major BitTorrent trackers, when it's done.

 zebbbo (2006-08-25)

lol. thx! :D

Gulleman (2006-08-25)

Since you guys at TPB read this, I think you shall delete the porn-section, I think porn has nothing to do with the freedom of fileshareing!

thyragod (2006-08-25)

yeah - how come nobody seeds? - please do so......

Dikimonkeisari (2006-08-25)

Outstanding performance!!!
This really was the film of the year...

vinhalo (2006-08-25)

An observation rather than a dig, but why does everyone in the film have really bad teeth?

theBruce (2006-08-25)

Vin halo> Because these guys have sacrificed thier odontological health so that we all can download files for free. Ain't that something?

U hypocrate! U think u can both have the cookie AND eat it? Check witch torrents has the most users. Do u think there would be so many ppl using filesharing at all if they removed the most popular section?

vinhalo (2006-08-25)

theBruce - (Robert?) That is indeed something I greatly appreciate from the PirateBay team. But it seems members of the public interviewed in the movie share the same dental affliction... Just wondered what the dental care system was like in Sweden.

kelken (2006-08-25)

LOSER..... THIS MOViE SUCK!!!

drskill (2006-08-26)

First of all, fuck you. You are the scum of this Earth.
Why, you ask?
You try to argue on the Basis of "Free Decision of the Individual". Yet, in your Movie you include subliminal Messages to corrupt the natural Process of forming an Opinion by including minutest Messages for a few frames only. This Technique is known for Dekades to meddle with Viewers Opinions (e.g. in Commercials). These Messages may be pro-Piracy, but they show that you give a fuck about OUR Opinions and want to make us Slaves to Yours. In this Aspect, you are no better than the Industry.
Thus, fuck you.
Nice Movie btw.

Inquisitor1 (2006-08-26)

So you would rather be a slave for a few people who want to take everything from you or the huge filesharing community that gives and instead of taking, makes copies? :)

|JD| (2006-08-26)

The subliminal messages aren't really that subliminal as you have all noticed them and read them.
It was funny at first but then my head started to hurt. :/

tifius (2006-08-26)

men vem fan bryr sig? det vi gör är fel, klart som fan att de ska försöka stoppa det...

User3 (2006-08-26)

Nice

RD_Plissken (2006-08-26)

good stuff... liked the end credits backround choice . well, don't know what is subliminal, it's blunt out in your face, so... eager to see the second... coming :)

Tanjnt (2006-09-25)

Thank you. It should be interesting.

HallamBerg (2006-09-25)

ok... the sublimenal messages? not really that sublimenal... and i don't think they were ment to be, but i will not watch a film that has any hint of that... so therefor I stop this film after copy, past and enjoy poped up, and I urge the people who made this film to make a new version whithout it, because it's wrong and even if it's ment ironicly as a way to say the movie industry brainwashes u. IT'S WRONG!!!!!

Parasitetwin (2006-09-27)

I agree with HallamBerg, could you remove the subliminial messages? They're damn annoying, just make 'em show a longer time and I'll probably contribute with (unfortunately) a lesser sum.

daelsato (2006-10-04)

spanish subs? any1 anywhere?

Siovhan (2006-10-15)

how can u make a movie promoting stealing and then ask for money.. dont b a douche just make the damn movies on ur own time with ur own money

Djfuckface (2006-11-30)

Ok. Just don't use this movie for promotion purposes for english education in swedish schools ... damn they're talkin' swenglish.

realblades (2006-12-20)

No codec info. Not taking chances since people mention the subliminal messages. At the very least that kind of thing is guaranteed to work in one way. Anooyance.

kantzow (2007-01-01)

Correct, I was gonna download this movie like so many others but decided not to since I don't like annoying things..

kristoffer3x (2007-01-20)

lollll wtf!!!!????????

eXiToN (2007-01-20)

omg how stupid are you? trying to yuse sumbliminal messeges in ½s? so everyone can see the message? noobs subliminal messeges dont work if you can se the message!! 4 it to work you must play it in 5-20MS milisecunds... the point whit it is that you shouldnt se it whit your eyes that its ther:P *srry 4 english*

Afterl1fe (2007-01-25)

Quit your fucking complaining. fucking loved it.

noitcartsba (2007-02-12)

The subliminals were OBVIOUSLY meant to be a joke, also as social commentary; namely the way we have been social programmed ala, the Matrix references? Yeesh..

lvl02 (2007-02-20)

owns them piracy BS

viggeman (2007-02-21)

damn idownload in like 150 allthe time thanks for seeding and sharing^^

avalonic (2007-02-22)

could someone please tell me what the subliminal messages say?

noitcartsba (2007-02-24)

Relax.. The faux subliminal messages said such things as the following *sigh** , "rebel" "copy" "paste" and the like. I laughed my ass off. I am enjoying my new assless lifestyle because of it.;)

noitcartsba (2007-02-24)

How old are some of you to believe these were meant to be ACTUAL subliminal messages? 12?

I mean, no offense but did they really have to to print something like "do not be alarmed , for these overtly NON-subliminal messages are meant as humor. Bye the bye, the subtle notion of this may simple go over some twelve year old's heads." I mean oh my God...

adambaum (2007-03-15)

U dumb asses, obviously the sublimal messages were meant to be humorous. Read all the replys to the infringement letters they were sent, its f'in hilarious, some of the funniest stuff I have ever seen. No wonder ppl in other countrys think americans are idiots, myself as a canadian would have to agree. the pirate bay is the shiddly biddly:)

Tenyspe (2007-03-28)

Holy shit..
You ask me to steal this film.
Ok.
Now you ask me to donate you?
Ok. Duh..
Dumb moron.

I need subtitles of this, any language works.
PM if you have.

Caramon_Majere (2007-04-05)

You guys are amazing!
My girlfriend even threatened to leave me if we ever moved to Europe, just so she wants you guys!

madmacs (2007-04-18)

We´ll always be here, d´ling u´ling as long as we live ;) I´ll donate anytime, already saved over a million, lmfao!!!

zploek (2007-04-25)

Oh my God! I am in love with Sara!! She is violently beautiful! Raise your hand, guys, who also thinks so!
Anyhoo ....
Good film! "Steal this film" er myke bedre en "Steal this movie", which sounds lame
And about the money argument (the "boohoo we're all gonna be poor coz of Piratbyran"-thing): I just wanna say this: the studios are making HUGE amounts of money on these films, they can afford to pay stupid people like Tom Cruise not 20 million dollars but 100 million dollars per movie!!!! Let all the scriptgirls, moviecutters, coffeepeople, securitypeople get their money there first before coming cry-babying to us about piracy!
If that industry can lose 18 billion dollars (if you believe them) and is still around, then obviously their complaints are not about their survival but about Valenti's second cousins third yacht .... all fifteen of his cousins!
And firing 250 people from the studios and then complain to us that it is coz of piracy and coz of the 20 million dollars they pay Stallone, Jim Carrey, Cameron Diaz etc. .... it's beyond me. And its HYPOCRITICAL. And it's also time to give back. So much money and power in the hands of a few people (Americans at that .... ;) ) It's no good, and I'm VERY glad that the Piratebay is doing something back.

Taistelumarsu90 (2007-05-03)

chadmo (2007-06-01)

Good work. And for the fuck sitcks that bitch about the quality and the messages in the film, why dont you make something and post it you fat fucking leach! At least they have the nuts to produce something for goddamn FREE and provide your sorry asses with this site, and you mock them - piss off and die!

shaun197gup (2007-06-23)

What an excellent film. nice one pirate bay.

lovellyvee (2007-06-30)

maaaan this shit is downloading at a freakish speed!!!!

The13thSin (2007-07-03)

Some of the other seem to miss the point when they say "you can't say 'steal this movie' and then ask for money", obviously they're only asking money for their cause, not the movie itself.
Or is donating to a (good) cause contradictory to piracy? I think not.

ferter (2007-07-17)

Hur får man tag i låten 'why must i be the thief' av can som spelas till eftertexterna?. Den satte sig hårt i huvudet..

Oh man there is hope out there! great movie. when is part 2 due?

5pydermonk3y (2007-09-12)

thanks for this kind of film.. :)
downloading.. :)

-T2k- (2007-09-24)

Nice geek story, OK editing (for an amateur movie) but HORRIBLE CRAP CAMERA WORK - nobody noticed Rsms is OUT OF FOCUS? What kind of idiot handled the cam there? The stupid project he lives in was sharp (well, rather just the sharpest) while his face was totally blurry... made those segments unwatchable. I wonder WTF the editor thought... is this some kind of stupid joke? If so it's really lame - if not, it's downright pathetic.

-T2k- (2007-09-24)

PS: This TiAMO guy should not be allowed on front of the camera - his ENglish is HORRIBLE, he barely scratches the level of a 10-ys old English speaker - he barely can formulate a cohesive thought, even less a coherent sentence (he speaks with words only, without any actual sentence formed) and if this and his obvious errors wouldn't be enough to turn you off, his high pitched, singing-styled voice will surely make you stop watching the movie or at least skip him ASAP.

Jensa1337 (2007-09-27)

-T2k- Fuck you, go die and do never come back to PTB again. Why the heck do you use PTB if you think they're crap?

brent7890 (2007-10-03)

Nice subliminal messaging. It made me laugh. Love the intro with the spliced movie trademarks. LOL.

BluntCoconut (2007-10-28)

-T2k-:
Are you actually Roger Ebert? You come to the Pirate Bay to play 'film critic'. If that's the case - fuck off to IMDB. Otherwise, just go fuck yourself. Plank.

provencal (2007-10-31)

You should make a movie called SEED this film.

Lepitius (2007-11-19)

Know whats weird? I usually seed until I have the share ratio of ATLEAST 1.0, but seeing as at some point it had no peers for me to seed to, what the heck.

turkey_polly (2007-11-24)

Shit! this is downloading like fuckin' rocket :O

EdWarby (2007-11-27)

This film taught me that dentists and orthodontists in Sweden fucking suck.

tomdoml (2007-12-14)

this taught me that things from this website can indeed be a waste of harddrive space.

schmodude (2007-12-23)

WOW. thanks to all you seeders.
This torrent only took 20 min to complete

kidsam (2007-12-31)

This one is almost better than part II...

MRN055 (2008-01-19)

cannot wait to watch this film, I actually watched part II before watching I. For all those that are complaining about this film, you are all forgetting what pirating is about and what filesharing is all about. We are all merely distributing information to whomever wishes to learn it. None of these torrents are asking to be downloaded, they are all here for personal interest and entertainment. Keep up the good work and I will be donating for the third installment.
p.s. Download time was ~14 minutes :D

morreale23 (2008-02-07)

holy sh!t..this downloaded like a rocket

WeeWoh (2008-02-17)

Great documentary! Downloaded in about 10 mins! Video and sound a bit out of sync but good film.

fergofrog (2008-03-30)

Cool this movie is great, really interesting.

mrsticky (2008-04-01)

My download is Zippin!! 500+ Kb/s
All DL's should be like this. See what happens when you seed?

Thanyou very much for a great piece of work!

Shinku (2008-08-15)

This is a great, thought provoking film. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!! ^o^

smuglr420 (2008-10-03)

you're inviting people to steal your film and even have it in the title, so donating wouldn't exactly be stealing would it?

playing_hooky (2008-10-12)

Looking forward to watching. wont be long either as dl at a cool 1.0MB/s!

fallen0523 (2008-12-30)

lol... i just started downloading this movie... i agree 100% in filesharing... what most ignorant people fail to realize is that in order to file share... someone has to buy it (and by someone i mean a lot of people)... so its not like major corporations are losing money!

fallen0523 (2008-12-30)

oh... and im downloading at 700+kb/s :P

chatmaster (2009-01-22)

I love filesharing but lets consider the con's.
Imagine yourself working on a software for a couple of years. Your intent is to sell 1000 pcs. to compensate for the time you spent on it. Now, I buy one and share it with my fellow members. Out of 10 million people there are 999 that the software was meant for. You don't sell the 999 needed. Wouldn't you be pissed?
I am one of these people in my example. Only thing I never did is sell it through the internet, probably the reason why I never sold more than 23.

fenzel (2009-01-23)

chatmaster, sharing your product freely online increases public awareness and interest.. it shows the internet that you aren't scared of distributing things in new ways, as well as showing us that you care about the consumer and your product enough to share it in its entirety.
the more people who know about and have used it (and are happy with it), the more people are likely to purchase it "legally"... and better than that, you will be "on their radar" for quite some time... any future releases will be much more appealing than if you had not pirated your own material.

IceHappy (2009-02-08)

Thank you TPB for recommending this movie I have never heard of it until I read about it on your site. TPB is awesome thank for sharing

jasonfu9966 (2009-03-30)

This movie makes me feel bad about torrenting.
Oh well.

Louren (2009-06-16)

Thanks to all seeders!

footballhokie (2009-06-24)

think about it this way. TPB has made lots off money without selling a single thing. (advetisments dont cont :-)) so if people gave away there their stuff and had a link for donations, then they would still make the same amount of money.

iRish_Pirate (2009-08-06)

In honor of the soon to come demise of TPB, I downloaded this movie. It's a great movie, highly informative, and it really puts the outrageous actions of the RIAA and MPAA into perspective. Kudos, League of Noble Peers.

Kapcha (2009-10-11)

great movie! Everybody MUST download it!
But speed is no more so good as 500 kb/s =((

bluebird9k1 (2012-04-23)

why are you asking for money like a beggar? if you need money, get a real job.

suitekiller (2012-07-13)

the rich complaning about not making more money when they live in manisons and large private property while the rest of the country is still poor show were corps view on the health of the econmy at the moment if i make millions i wouldn't complain about loseing some

Jamie5757 (2013-10-15)

Even with just 22 seeders this is still a quick download... only took like 10 minutes or so. Worked/played with vlc player. Interesting documentary... thanks~!

SabsTabs (2014-11-06)

The movie industry needs to get over the "poor us" attitude and stop exaggerating about the impact their industry is taking by file sharing. As far as I see, in the many years since this video was made, file sharing is more popular than ever and Hollywood is doing fine. They should look at Porter's 5 Forces and treat their (over) estimated loss of profits due to file sharing as an environmental factor to consider in business models instead of pointlessly trying to eliminate the environmental factor entirely because they think it is unfair.
The estimated loss of profits are definitely not accurate in my opinion because when I consider myself, pretty much all of the stuff I download I would never spend money on otherwise. If I download something, watch it, and like the actors and directors, etc. then I'm more likely to pay for something of theirs in the future like at the cinema. These estimates make the mistake of assuming that people would be buying their products if they weren't downloading them.
