I don’t understand the draw of pirating movies. There is no movie that I can’t wait for it to come out on DVD and/or Netflix. As for music, I find that if I buy every new song that I enjoy on iTunes or Amazon.com, I spend about $12 per year.

That said, I have been following the Pirate Bay trial which ended on March 3. It was a crazy mess of arrogance, exploitation of legal loopholes and a lot of surprises. It is no surprise that a Swedish filmaker is planning to turn the whole afair into a documentary.

Right now, the reason his film is hitting the news is because he is welcoming the idea of it being shared across P2P networks. If he does a good enough job at covering the quirkiness of the trials and the story behind it, it may turn out as a worthy Oscar nominee for best documentary.
