Steal This Film 2 released on BitTorrent
Steal This Film 1, which was downloaded nearly 3 million times, has now been succeeded officially (as the sequel premiered and was ironically leaked last month) by none other than Steal This Film 2. By producing this video, the League of Noble Peers, which features many prominent individuals from the BitTorrent community, has the goal of “bringing new people into the leagues of those now prepared to think ‘after intellectual property’, think creatively about the future of distribution, production and creativity.”
For those still confused, Steal This Film is a series documenting the movement against intellectual property. The films discuss piracy culture as well as raids against file sharing websites. In the spirit of piracy, the movie is completely free for download. You can choose from XviD, full DVD and 720p (HD) version, all downloadable through BitTorrent. More information can be found at the official website. I haven’t seen this movie yet, but first viewers aren’t too enthusiastic about it (aka “It’s 44 minutes of some random blokes trying to justify piracy … nothing else”). I guess there are better releases to watch…

NICE!! i loved the first 1! DEFFINATELY DL THIS!!!!
Thanks guys!
thank u, the 1st one was interesting
i watched the cam version and it is very worthy of a download.
keep up good work much apreciations to all rlslog staff
If I can’t steal it honestly, I don’t want it!
@3 you watched the cam version? rofl
First of all this film isn’t about blokes trying to justify piracy. Second of all this film is better than 92% of the junk that is posted on here.
These Hollywood companies just want to make more profit through residual based incomes. What the scene does isn’t piracy, it’s justice. Why do these big-shot directors need any more money when they already make millions?
Its like a Burger King Whopper while the cashier expects a residual based income while you eat the damn thing!
Steal the Film II > Transformers > Shoot Em Up > Alien vs. Hunter. Bow down mates, for we are pirates.

@8 Martin
Damn, Martin. Isn’t that just a bit harsh? He was only informing all of us that Sweeny.Todd.The.Demon.Barber.Of.Fleet.Street.2007.CAM.XViD-PreVail
was available for download. Although, I guess that’s part of Releaselog’s job, not ours, huh?
Oh, I see now. It’s because of the username he used. firemrx. Lol.
For those of you interested this is alot better and way more professionaly made then the first one. This is like something you would see on TV.
Oh and for people that want the first one also:
thepiratebay.org/user/stealthisfilm
Downloading now, looks really interesting.
Who knows, I might like it…
The first movie was a boring and badly made documentary. The only good thing is that they (try to) justify the free distribution of various kinds of media. This movie will only be seen by people who already download the stuff, so it’s pretty pointless.
@6
No matter how much you want to believe what you said, its theirs. If they want to sell it, they can set whatever price they want because its theirs, and by dling it you’re not making justice, you steal. An argument such as “why do they need more money” is invalid, because they sell what is rightfully (by CURRENT laws) theirs.
However I agree that the prices are outrageous and the laws are wrong, and therefor I too, steal. But I’m not deluding myself about that.
Actually this movie was well done. They interview about 4-5 expert historians who give us a history of how piracy started 400 years ago. The elite in France controlled the books and media and who had access to them and who didnt. The pirates were the ones that made bootleg copies of the ‘restricted books’ and then sold then as the market demanded. Plus they go on to explain that our human culture is about sharing information, knowledge. And that intellectual property is sometimes not the right answer to everything. Then they follow up with computer experts and experts in the law field, etc a guy from a university, and the internet archive guy and the guy from the electronic fronteer foundation. And the film is not just trying to ‘justify piracy’ it goes much deeper than that.
Heres the lin to part 1 – http://stealthisfilm.com/Part1/
Im acually gonna DL both and check them out, no harm in a free documentary eh?! lol
Hero Film making.. BLESS YOU Filesharers
Spoiler alert @18
I won’t be downloading this movie since it’s a documentary. I would watch it only on TV
Anyway…it’s good that they thought starting some pro-piracy actions when so many anti are approaching
i wasn’t sure whether downloading music, movies and TV shows was the right thing to do, that was until the production companies began their terror campaign of trying to convince people that what they where doing was “Stealing” and what they where doing was just as bad as stealing a car or breaking into someones house. Proving that they where prepared to use terror tactics to try and solve the problem rather then looking at what the consumer wanted and working out a reasonable solution.
It was a good movie, interesting views of things, but i turned the movie off when i heard the british rap at the end.
I liked the first one better with its funny subliminal messages.
I didn’t even know there was such a thing as Pro-Piracy. I am a film maker myself and DL lot’s of movies just because they are so expensive. If they would release movies for less money and release movies at the same time worldwide they’d be getting my money again.
#24
Yeah movies are way to pricey.If they would just release more
1 dvd versions without so many extras that no one watches put them in a slim case and price them around $10 new i’d probably have a bigger collection and download less.
I hate when people say that piracy is perfectly fine considering that information should be free. That’s just BS.
There is a difference between academic/scientific/literary breakthroughs that serve mankind in a positive way and getting a copy of the latest Michael Bay effects bonanza. It’s entertainment, nothing more. People work hard to make this kind of entertainment and they should be compensated as they have to earn a living for them and their loved ones, so I always try to support movies, music, software, etc that I feel are worth paying for. Anybody who kids themselves into thinking piracy is 100% justified is an idiot.

I hate when my comments don’t post immediately…
not funny
I concur with Gaius.
I download what I want when I want knowing that it is illegal.
If the film/album/software is good enough and I feel that the developer/company deserves the money they will get it from me.
They can’t really claim they don’t get enough money. A lot of the big films go way above the budget for their films on just the opening weekend. An early CAM release is not going to effect it at all.
This wasn’t as good as the first imo, but still worth watching.
really guys
i am willing you to steal it
take it, its yours
@26 Gaius,
While I don’t disagree that the people who make movies deserve to get paid, I do disagree with many things the movie industry does. For example, most all DVD (& Blu-Ray/HD-DVD) releases have a region code on them to stop you from importing discs from other countries. The industry says it needs to prevent people from importing copies from another country before it goes to theaters there. This doesn’t explain why re-releases are region coded. Or why each title doesn’t have a bypass code that can be used once the movie is no longer in theaters. With digital distribution being much cheaper than having a run of DVDs made, why can’t the studios put their movies up in downloadable AVI form for $2-5 each, rather than require a monthly subscription and only let you download videos in a broken DRM format that won’t play on anything else? Why do we have to wait and hope that a studio will deem certain older movies worthy of a DVD release so that we can finally see them again, when for a fraction of the cost, they could transfer their entire catalog to digital format and put it up for download? Why should people who record a movie in a theater and harm no-one and nothing other than some of the profits of a movie studio, be sent to jail longer than someone who actually hurts someone? Why are the same studios that have used public domain stories to base some of their most famous movies on, working so hard to make copyrights permanent, effectively preventing anything from ever becoming public domain again?
Maybe when the movie and music industries stop pretending that their profits are what keeps the world spinning and they offer their products in a legal format that competes favorably with the illegal ones in terms of ease of use, ease of obtaining it, etc, I’ll have more respect for them.

Just watched it. Not as bad a I thought it might be and they do make some interesting points.
This movie was straight up boring, I don’t care who made it or if hating it aint cool, it was lame.
This is much better then the first part. This is actually a documentary. Not trying to justify piracy. Rather they are explaining why there is piracy and why it will not die.
I personally belive that production companies should be paied for distribution rather then the idea. Noone clamies that stealing a physical dvd is theft. But saying that distributing the dvd information over the internet is somehow worse is rediculus. If film and TV companies would embrace digital distribution priced for the relative cost of the cheaper distribution via the internet. Wich must be atleast 100 times cheaper then dvd manufacturing and shipping, not to mention that digital distribution is more eco friendly.
People already get hundreds of chanels for 30-40? $ (don’t know the pricing in the US) a month. If you could subscribe for your favorite shows and download them via the internet in a few minutes for a few $ a season I would. I live in sweden and the only way for me is digital distrubution if I don’t want to wait for years for them to come here.
Game developers are already useing digital distribution sucessfully proveing that it does indeed work. Ofcourse pricing is still way to high comparativly.
I think I have rambled on enough now.
@17, shut the hell up! Don’t download if you think its stealing nub.
@17 (Ronnie). Your wrong! Don’t download if you think its stealing. Why waste your whole point.
@17, its not stealing. Get off this website.
So what exactly is the real definition of piracy? When does it cross the line between copyright infringement and stealing?
@33 Rekrul – Agree entirely except for one small difference on region coding. Why should some countries be forced to wait months and months for a movie to come out in the theatres in the first place?
Is there a legitimate reason for such lengthy delays? Surely the industry can understand with the presence/effect of globalisation that there is no such thing as country specific release dates; that this idea is just losing them money in the long run?
@26 Gaius – “It’s entertainment, nothing more.” It’s more than entertainment, its part of culture and its part of our social fabric. I recognise that in the eyes of the law it is theft, but I believe it has no relation whatsoever to the kind of intent required to steal a real DVD from a shop, and I think in most peoples minds it is an entirely different moral question.
Fundamentally, this whole issue arises because the media industry is trying to apply old media supply and demand economics to a situation that doesn’t bear any resemblance to that structure. There is infinite supply (copy-paste) and demand is not concentrated and is not driven necessarily by desire for a product but more from interest or exploration. There is such a plethora of media available on the internet that the industry couldn’t, without immense (but not impossible) effort, supply the wide ranging demands of internet users.
“The price P of a product is determined by a balance between production at each price and the desires of those with purchasing power at each price.” – Wikipedia
As soon as the industry recognises that we know digital media doesn’t have production costs and that there are better (DRM-less, quickly found and acquired, high-bitrate, easily accessed and transferred) alternatives to their paltry, half-assed, offerings – we can start the climb back to legal media.
Theft : the act of stealing; the wrongful taking and carrying away of the personal goods or property of another; larceny.
If you copy something that can be duplicated without stealing anyones resources, is that 100% the same as the classic version of theft?
I’m never gonna feel any moral or ethical dilemma from stealing “pocket change” from “fat cats”, and if those “fat cats” want to moan that the gaffer needs to get paid, they can take it out of their cut.
At the same time I’ll happily pay whom i think deserves it. The days when anyone will buy any crap on the shelves are over.
extortion : Law. the crime of obtaining money or some other thing of value by the abuse of one’s office or authority.
