I have to make a confession. Initially, I was quite tempted to pirate this film through Pirate Bay. But then I noticed the following comment by the co-director himself. I was incredibly impressed with the tone of the comment, and decided to go ahead and purchase the movie through Amazon, despite the fact that I will probably not have time to watch it in the near future.
Notice that he doesn't chastise, berate, or threaten the individuals who are downloading it through Pirate Bay. In fact, like many scene release .nfo files from piracy groups, he even states, "If you like the movie, consider purchasing it". This is the __right__ way to tackle piracy, in my opinion, and should be commended.
Here is the comment:
Hi Guys,
My name is James Swirsky - I’m one of the two people who made Indie Game: The Movie. Myself and Lisanne Pajot spent our last two years working on this film. We kept a pretty active blog about the production of the film on our site (www.indiegamethemovie.com).
We are a two person team, making the film completely independently. And we want to keep on making films for your enjoyment.
If you like the movie, consider purchasing it over on iTunes, Steam or DRM-Free (in a variety of encodes) directly from us over at www.IndieGameTheMovie.com. You can also get a copy to share with a friend if you’d like to.
Thanks for taking an interest in our film.
-James Swirsky
Co-director/Maker of Indie Game: The Movie
