Steal This Film 2 Leaked on BitTorrent
Written by Ernesto on November 14, 2007Steal This Film 2 is a yet to be released documentary about filesharing, and how this affects our society. Ironically, a cammed version of the documentary already leaked on BitTorrent a couple of days before its official launch.
Steal This Film part 1, for those who haven’t seen it yet, was much about the raid on The Pirate Bay and its aftermath. Part 2 views filesharing from a broader perspective and also looks into the historical dimension of this movement.
The film, again produced by The League of Noble Peers, features some people from the BitTorrent community such as Erik from mininova and Peter (aka Brokep) from The Pirate Bay. Dan Glickman from the MPAA also makes a short appearance stating that they will never be able to stop piracy, but I guess we already knew that.
Most importantly, STFII shows us that filesharing is here to stay, it is a part of our lives and will shape our future.
A reliable source informed us that the camming took place during the first screening of the documentary at the “Oil of the 21st Century” conference in Berlin two weeks ago. TorrentFreak was represented at the conference in question, but we deny any involvement in this matter.
Jamie King, producer of STFII, told TorrentFreak in response to the leak: “We think people should better not watch it, as we’ll track them down via haxxoring their IPs and sue their asses off,” he continues “Seriously, we’re delighted anyone would want to make a cam of STFII. We hope anyone that keen to watch it will enjoy it despite the dip in quality, and for those that want to wait, it’s only a few days until release.”
You can steal the CAM version at The Pirate Bay. We have to warn you though, the quality is pretty bad, like most cammed movies. STFII will officially be released in a few days including fully subtitled, searchable archives.

No, you can download it. That’s not stealing.
oh, the irony of a pirated movie made by pirates! they deserve it those bastards!
Why would the film be cammed when the high quality version was going to be released for free online in such a short period of time anyway? This is just for joke’s sake, as the film is indeed titled “steal this film.” Regardless, I will be waiting for the official release, as I want to enjoy watching the film in quality and supporting free releases.
Say Goodbye to Hollywood!
Say goodbye my baby !
LOL..
A very appropriate way for the film to hit the net,nicely done.

TF seem to call it stealing all the time. I don’t think they would repeat the same sarcasm over and over :)
Stop Boycotting The Forum.
Yes it is ironical, but why the hell would anyone NOT wait for the proper version to be released?
Or watch it on youtube?
Oh yeh…….A boxing match…..will there be a tko……
Nobody has raised the point that this whole thing is probably staged?
Seems fishy to me…

Look at the name of the account uploading it on TPB.
I just watched it and it’s very good. I can’t wait for the legit launch. One thing though that they probably can’t edit now but at 26:25 the word “Guarded” is spelled wrong, it’s spelled “Gaurded.” Just my observation :P
stop it you make me seasick ;<
If they keep going will a black hole develop??
Glad to see my cam is getting approval!
LOL great ploy TPB launched… have a cammed version of their documentary leaked on their own server… see… now if more people advertised like this.. I bet you money that it would make them money. Isn’t that kinda like what this is partly about?
Either way its good to see another side of things in stead of what is doctored and worded by press.

Humor!
This is how you do real promo. Watch and learn hollywood. ;)
downloading != stealing
when you download something you’re copying it. Not stealing!
Great, but…
From a p2p-PR perspective this is a bad movie title. It should be named ‘Share this film’, ‘Grab this film’ or ‘Download this film’. Boring maybe, but better for public perception of the p2p-movement.
Hmm, it seems the cause of this fire were these stress relieving candles.
Irrrroooonny.
A movie getting cammed before release?? how shocking!
Not to mention that it’s a lame publicity stunt… You sheeple never fail to amaze me.
I can’t wait and see the second part of this movie!
yeah great it leaked, cam’s suck lol, but unlike hollywood, you don’t see the people who made Steal This Film complaining that their movie leaked.
I cannot wait to see this movie! Been waiting sooo long. But i will not watch the cam :)
I think it was just to be funny, seeing as how the movie is going to be released free someone decided to CAM it and go through the motions just like other movie.
steal this film 1 was worth watching, i hope this will be also. ill wait for a good quality ver.
I’ll just wait till it comes out.
good fun, however i will wait for the official release, i like better quality. i think ill go watch the first one again…..as i wait for the second to download….
Panem Et Circensis,
When King Louis 14th [not De Caprio] noticed that his subjects didnt buy the potatoes he wanted to introduce, he had the potato fields heavily guarded by military. The French therefore thought it must be something precious and started stealing them and so they began loving it. Today you eat up Hollywoods poisoned potatos, that drivel and propaganda is distributed to all of you and all over the world all the time. Eat junk, breath junk, watch junk! Keeps you smug and quiet while the world burns around you.
Who is laughing at whom here?
I ll wait for the official release !
Knowing we would find it available to download prior to its realse was probably a joke told the day they thought of it. Notice the extreme play on legal verbage. “Available” for DL does not mean we have, just that we could. I LOVE THE TORRENT COMMUNITY and it’s the one thing that will keep these ridiculously over priced movie visitd, video rental down. If they would just charge us something that saved us sopme loot and took the last million out of their already greedy pockets, I’d rather rent with great quality, options, and just to have the hard version. But they can’t rightly afford their 19 cars if they do that. Long live the age of technology, we will always beat the system.
geeze its been more than a few days.
and i think he cam was just a joke. He zooms in and out then stops at bad zooms, its insanely interlaced, and plenty of other “newbie” mistakes. Its got to be a gag from tpb…
Even with all the problems, its a really great film.
Please look up irony, and not in the dictionary Alanis Morisette used..
It’s NOW December.. the http://www.StealThisFilm.com website claimed a November release.
STOP FUXING WITH THE EDIT AND RELEASE THE DAMN THING ALREADY!
Thanking you in advance.
P.S. If you ever wanted to test your MAX DL cap, this .torrent would do it. Part 1 for me finished in less than 10 minutes.
=D
