As a major media pirate and sharer, I am glad to see that this is finally happening. It has always been annoying that what I do is illegal, and frowned upon by many. I will hopefully be able to show this to people who believe me to be a common criminal. Most of the works I acquire have been out of date for decades now, anyway, and are hard to find in good quality.

Here’s why this show will reach TV:
The embracing of what piracy represents – a better way – will have to happen sooner or later, whether Big Content want it or not. Being the first to embrace it in such an obvious way might prove to be a huge boon for whomever dares to actually do it.

Here’s why it WON’T reach TV:
Big Content don’t want it.

I can’t say that the piracy is something good, all i’m saying is that piracy can make things better. just think about what he said…
it’s strange, but it’s right. think about it…

I totally agree with this.
One point I find is rarely, if ever, made, is the jobs that people, in particular software programmers, have BECAUSE of pirates.
Firewalls and anti-virus software wouldn’t exist without viruses and trojans and all the little nasty things.
Copyright-Software programmers wouldn’t have their jobs if it wasn’t for someone who wanted to download the movie. Piracy keeps these people in their jobs, because if everyone became good little capitalism-loving abiders of laws that the Americans favour (not to mention force them on other countries), a lot of people would be out of employment.
And that, in the scheme of things, would not be a good thing.
Some things aren’t even AVAILABLE to some countries. The television broadcast of shows such as Lost and Heroes is terrible in Australia. The times are always fluctuating and more-often-than-not, a show gets cancelled prematurely. Eastern / Asian programs are another subject. They’re not giving an option to people who want to watch the latest episode of Bleach or Code Geass, or the marvels of Russian film.
In my opinion, it’s the Robin Hood dilemma.
The actions portrayed as “evil” by those in power are not always evil.
And I think the flexibility and ingenious methods taken by pirates should be commended, rather than punished. When big business says “no” and closes the door, a pirate figures a way to open a window and climb in. Figuratively speaking.
In the words of Manowar – “They can’t stop us, let ‘em try.”

ever think they know they cant win and its all coming apart and making everyone involved actually look like nazis and this might be there abeit slow return to sanity?

My grandfather fought in WW2 and north korea so we could have freedom of speech and trade ideas ind share , instead of the book burnings and nazi destruction of public domain. Lest the jews forget where they got there end freedom, and all that money form the hollywood and tv and MUSIC ( gene simmons )
YOU got that cash cause we had freedom, when you take away we get aggrivated as a society if the goal is to make mankind pissed off enough to fight your next war , great job you loons. Soon we’ll be so pent up we might just burn all the parliaments in anger, ugh the whole smeal makes me ill.

I’m leaving the net soon so i dun care what i say, its f’d.

i like this, i would like to hear what *you* (Matt mason and Jesse Alexander) thinks of piracy, because i think tv shows is the most pirated thing since PORN.
ill explain why i pirate your shows;
I live in norway.. i have to choice by either watching the show on norwegians channels up to 6 months later then the US. And i cant explain how much that sucks.. if it just aired in norway at the same time and date as in the US it would reduce the piracy by 90%.

I do believe this will be hard to get on to network TV, so when it becomes available online, I will be sure to download it, cram as many episodes on to a single layer dvd as I can, buy a spindle of dvd’s, and go around letter boxing my neighborhood with disks. I’ll leave an email address on each disc so people who would like the rest of the series can request I burn the other episodes. :)

Nice, cheap, easy distributation. I live near a police station too, who may be interested in a copy as well! Loyal readers of TorrentFreak should be aware how much australian police love ‘piracy’. :)

“”The Pirate’s Dilemma” is now available as a free download,”

Has anyone else noticed that the “free download” in the link provided requires you to pay $5.00 to download it? Am I wrong or is this just extreme irony?

You misconstrue to concept of pyracy in order to make it something exciting. To make it as if we are freedom fighters and heroes dedicated to a cause. Pyracy exists only as a means to improvise in situations where finances or resources or low. Pyracy is a last resort when one is desperate. There is no deeper truth behind it than that.

Do not make us heroes.

Reword this : “Matt recently told us that he has been working on turning the book into a TV show with Jesse Alexander, the Executive Producer of the popular TV-shows Heroes and Lost.” I had no idea what ‘book’ you were talking about till like the last sentence.

@24 or perhaps it is you who doesn’t already know. Piracy is a virtue, it is something useful as a means of spread things to everyone. Imagine if there was a device that could copy things. Then, if people would use it to copy food from a store, then nobody would be hungry. Similarly, piracy supplies culture to everyone, and spreads it at minimal cost.

@18 you have got everything right except for “backing out” – you see, leaking it on the net is a good thing for them, and it does not screw over the movie studio at all – at least not if they get patronized in some way, and if their distribution method and method of creating the movie is cost-effective

They should get a major studio to fund it. Make the whole movie, leak it on the net, then somehow back out at the last minute. Screwing over the movie studio while all the pirates get to watch and distribute it!

biggest problem is that governments are allowing themselves to be dictated to by private companies. the individual counts for nothing. the good that file sharing does counts for nothing. governments should remember that they are there for everyone, not just for those with the biggest wallets. this series will never be allowed to be broadcast, unless it is pirated, of course! hee hee
