TorrentFreak talked to a representative of the League of Noble Peers who said: “It’s been about a year since we finished the first film, and it’s given us a lot of time to reflect. It’s safe to say that this film is more reflective, and we have really been trying to get to grips with some of the questions the first film raised. We realized that to go forwards, we had to go back, people may be a bit surprised about *how far* back.”

As a TorrentFreak representative, I was fortunate enough to be present when the STF crew interviewed Brokep from The Pirate Bay and Erik from Mininova, and experienced first hand how dedicated they are to turn this project into a great film, that we’ll all want to “steal”.

And there is more, as one of the producers of the film explains: “We can reveal that a certain Mr. Cohen, is in the film. as well as some other big names. In short it’s an interesting moment for us. We have all this material and all these ideas, and we’re working hard to make a film that will be a small part of the conversation in the coming months.”

But the film needs your help, a documentary about P2P and piracy wouldn’t be complete without input from you, the peers. So, if you are interested in doing some voice-overs, or want to record your personal message for the content owners, join the League of Noble Peers:

“Express yourself to the full extent of your capabilities, using costume, mask or avatar, from Second Life or ‘real’ life, whether you’re young or old, drunk or sober — you are a Peer and we want to hear from you. Use a Camcorder, a Webcam or a Microphone — record the statement in the best quality you can.”

Several people are interviewed in the documentary including Lawrence Lessig from Creative Commons, Tiamo and Anakata from The Pirate Bay, mashup artist Danger Mouse, a Russian street pirate, and many others.

Even MPAA CEO Dan Glickman makes an appearance, he briefly comments on their involvement with the raid on The Pirate Bay last year. Glickman also says that he knows that the MPAA will never stop piracy, but that they are trying to make it as difficult and tedious as possible.

We’ve included some short clips from the documentary in this post but I recommend everyone to download the real thing, it’s worth it. Feel free to donate something to the makers of the documentary if you enjoy watching it.

McArdle wanted to take an in-depth look at piracy today, and how it will evolve. “despite all the media frenzy on the piracy crackdowns, there’s been very little attention to the topic itself. At the very best, news reporters regurgitated the contents of an industry press release. There was nothing of substance, which is where this documentary fits in: we wanted to cover the issue in-depth,” we read on the documentary website.

McArdle interviewed several people including: a member of a scene release group, Susan Harper from Microsoft Canada, Michael Geist, Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-commerce Law at the University of Ottawa, Graham Henderson from the CRIA, and many others.

Shooting this documentary made McArdle realize that the piracy issue is not as black and white as many people believe. “This is such an incredibly complicated issue, and the scope of it goes really beyond pinning the blame on just one thing or whatnot”, he said, in an interview.

You can watch the documentary on Google Video (1 & 2), but I recommend to download the DVD. Not only does not only have better video quality, but it also includes many extras, such as commentary form the director, and several easter eggs worth watching.

The documentary attempts to summarize Hitler’s (secret) life including WWII in only 52 minutes, which is impressive. Most interesting are the interviews with Hitler’s sister, and other people who were close to him.

The historical facts may not always be correct, but the documentary is definitely worth watching if you’re interested in the story behind Adolf Hitler and WWII.

In the documentary “done the impossible” the fans tell their part of this success story. They explain why and how they managed to get their Firefly heroes on the white screen in the popular movie Serenity.

The makers of the documentary offer a free, Creative Commons licensed .torrent download of their film. They state:

In our opinion, the modern state of copyright is counter productive to creativity and free culture. It puts unnatural restraints on “fair use”, hinders the creative process and has fundamentally destroyed an entire industry before it was even born.

Personally I’m impressed with the quality of this documentary, I highly recommend this one if you are interested in the story behind Firefly and Serenity.
