Minecraft: The Story of Mojang producers 2 Player Productions has made a bold step by uploading their own feature film onto The Pirate Bay.
2 Player Productions has released Minecraft: The Story of Mojang onto Pirate Bay as they believe it would have ended up on the torrent website anyway and in their own words:
“We’ve been there. We’ve all needed to do it at some point. Maybe you don’t have the money. Maybe you want to try before you buy. Maybe you’re pissed at us for premiering the movie on Xbox Live. These are all fine reasons. But if you feel that piracy is, in Gabe Newell’s words, ‘a service problem,’ please consider that we are selling DRM free digital downloads that you can watch in whatever manner you please”
As if producers uploading their own feature films onto a torrenting website wasn’t surprising enough the community feedback has been even more so. Many comments on the Pirate Bay page are of users revealing they will go on to purchase the film legitimately after downloading it from the torrent website.
