Steal This Film

August 2006 •English

Steal This Film focuses on Pirate Bay founders Gottfrid Svartholm, Fredrik Neij and Peter Sunde, prominent members of the Swedish filesharing community.

Notably, Steal This Film was released and distributed, free of charge, through the same filesharing networks that the film documents.
