Doesn't really clarify the legal situation. If they are offering the product for free then it isn't "piracy" to download it.
If on the other hand they are sharing the file (seeding it themselves?) and then intend on persuing people who download it then that is a pretty shitty trick.

- chimeracoder 14y ago> consider that we are selling DRM free digital downloads that you can watch in whatever manner you please. I doubt that's their intention, at least from the start. By including that clause in the description, they're making it very hard for themselves to construct a case that they aren't authorizing these downloads (even if they could argue that uploading the magnet link themselves doesn't already fulfill this).
- simonh 14y agoThe impression I get is that they, like most people who are users of the pirate bay or other torrent sites, don't really care about the legal situation. I think their note is pretty clear. They would prefer people to pay for the download, but know that a lot of people won't anyway. By uploading the torrent they at least have an opportunity to engage with the torrent community. For me the takeaway is that they are setting legal issues aside and appealing for people who like their work to support it financially on moral grounds.
