Download Steal This Film – Spectrial Edition

Written by Ernesto on February 17, 2009 

The League of Noble Peers just released a ‘trial edition’ of their Steal This Film documentary series. It features Pirate Bay co-founders Peter Sunde and Fredrik Neij preparing for their trial. In addition, the two reenact the police interrogations that took place after the raid.

The first two parts of the Steal This Film documentaries have been a great success. Both releases were downloaded an estimated 5 millions times each, and both films remain well seeded on BitTorrent up until today.

Later this year, the League of Noble Peers plans to release the third part in the series, covering the Pirate Bay story from the day it was raided in 2006, right up to the trial currently taking place. Judging from the massive attention the trial is attracting, we have no doubt that the latest film in the series will be at least as popular as its predecessors.

Producer Jamie King told TorrentFreak that the trial edition, released just an hour ago, should be seen as part 2.5 – a trial for the ‘final cut’ so to speak. It includes some new material and shows how Peter Sunde (Brokep) and Fredrik Neij (TiAMO) prepared for the court case, together with a pretty funny reenactment of the police interrogations.

Brokep inspects the evidence.

The League of Noble Peers is currently shooting at the spectrial in Stockholm for the ‘final cut’. In the days to come we will release some exclusive footage of the trial here on TorrentFreak.

As always, the Steal This Film project is backed by many members of the BitTorrent community. IsoHunt is currently seeding the film on a 50Mbit line, and Mininova is helping out as well. As the League of Noble Peers say, we’re all on trial today.

The film can be downloaded at the STF website, please share, remix and redistribute!

On a somewhat related note, this person called the riaa and various artists asking how he could reimburse them for pirating their music. Looks like the RIAA is more accepting of piracy than you thought.

I’m wondering how many of the Swedish flags downloading at the same time as me (@ 2.1 megaBYTES p/s i might add) had just RTFA as i had. ;D

Though I’m a devout pirate, I wasn’t really very impressed with ‘Steal This Film’. There will no doubt be some interesting material in vol. 3 though…

Thanks to all that made this possible.

Looks like TPB is looking at calm waters the way the trial is going.

Awesome, free entertainment and information!

TPB FTW! OMG BBQ

Proud to be seeding both the first two right now, and will for quite awhile yet. These are some of the best ways for people to learn about whats going on, as frankly alot of people hate reading.

Once my download of the trial edition finishes, ill be sure to seed it as well. Not doing much tonight so I can give it alot more bandwidth than usual.

“Exclusive” and Torrent(Freak) in the same sentence. Funny!

@#8

Really? Though the 1st one wasnt all that great, I thought Steal This Film II was really good.

Either way, the next one sounds interesting.

14 Feb 18, 2009 at 01:54 by s2pid

WE ARE A STORM,EXPECT TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR WHERE EVER POSSIBLE.

I know i just wrote it.

15 Feb 18, 2009 at 01:57 by Capn

One thing that put me off the other two was the closeness to peoples heads they filmed from. No one looks pretty that close up.

Provides a great message though :D

Downloaded and watched it, enjoyed it for the most part. Some of it seems like a repeat of the second but overall, it was good.

LOL @ Peter and his huge stack of papers!

HEY TBP WEBSITE AND TRACKERS ARE NOT WORKING !?!?! WTF? CAN ANYONE CONFIRM WHAT IS GOING ON?

26 Feb 18, 2009 at 08:39 by Mr Spoon from Button Moon

I liked this bit:

“It’s a terrorism of the mind that actually sustains concepts like intellectual property. It’s a terrorism that’s grounded on an idea of brutal repression of that which is actually possible.” – Lawrence Liang

The system works only for so long as one is able to constrain people through force into conformance with it.

Now, if only it wasn’t for those damn shifting sands…

27 Feb 18, 2009 at 10:05 by TemplarLord

TPB’s website loads fine for me, but the tracker does not work… Anyone knows what’s going on?

28 Feb 18, 2009 at 10:29 by tortured

29 Feb 18, 2009 at 11:12 by St0fzguier

TPB TRACKERS ARE DOWN! USE OTHER WELL KNOWN TREACKERS INSTED! LONG LIVE TBP!

31 Feb 18, 2009 at 11:29 by Anonymous

all the other well known trackers have the same torrent with only tpb tracker in it.

32 Feb 18, 2009 at 12:55 by Anonymous

Use the torrent at ISO Hunt instead.

>OTHER WELL KNOWN TREACKERS

uhm… demonoid, denis.stalker and prq.to are down too

good news. h33t is still up.

34 Feb 18, 2009 at 13:42 by Kyon

tracker.prq.to is a CNAME for tracker.thepiratebay.org – which would explain why prq.to is also down.
denis.stalker.h3q.com is another CNAME for the same TPB trackers.

35 Feb 18, 2009 at 14:35 by St0fzguier

this reveales the importance of TPB tracker to torrent-p2p i guess =’/

36 Feb 18, 2009 at 14:57 by Krs

Watch it on Dailymotion : http://www.dailymotion.com/user/bluekarasu/video/x8exd6_steal-this-film-trial-edition-part1_news

37 Feb 18, 2009 at 16:27 by Virate

Tracker’s back. :)

Seeding like a mofo

38 Feb 18, 2009 at 17:07 by tpbmod

just use a client (µT for example can and is also used by antip2p to upload over 66 gb for a 4gb TV series they now claim damages for) that can deal with the DHT infos in it or that has a good peer exchange function (PEX)

What are you guys? dumb as the prosecutor that you don’t know that tpb trackers are not needed to get the content from other guys computers :-P

39 Feb 18, 2009 at 21:49 by Ruslan

Downloaded and watched already. Thank you.

40 Feb 18, 2009 at 22:53 by @33 Kyon

@33 Kyon
LOLWUT denis.stalker is a totally different project run by some germans. -> http://opentracker.blog.h3q.com/
The only thing they have in common with tpb is that tpb uses their tracker software.
