Steal These Films

‘Steal This Film’ is a documentary on the piracy movement in Sweden, focusing on the legal actions against The Pirate Bay, a Bit Torrent site, the Pirate Party, and The Pirate Bureau, a think tank. This was an ultra-low budget film, and is an excellent documentary. Its focused, has a clear message, and lets the facts and the people speak for themselves.

Steal This Film II was just released, and is worth checking out. While I preferred the first one as a documentary, Steal This Film II is a nice follow up covering some of the changes since the first, and in some cases puts an interesting context into current events. I especially liked the comparison to the printing press and its effect on publishing.
