Bittorrent for new movies?
Well, the line between piracy and legal stuff just got blurred...

BitTorrent is a program that lets you download torrents. It could be used for legal or illegal downloads.
EDIT: Ninja'd. What is the movie about? For this to be so revolutionary it has to also be good enough to get people to download it. ANOTHER EDIT: Seems like a spy drama/thriller. Sounds pretty good.

So we are clear

actually this is nothing new, Indie studios of all art forms have used torrenting for years since they lack the resources for more conventional distribution.

I went to a concert last night and totally pirated the EP the opening band was giving away.

I'm just waiting for every also-ran at Sundance, Cannes, Toronto, etc. film festival to realize that they aren't going to win the Little Miss Sunshine lottery and just release their films to the wild instead of waiting years for IFC to maybe pick up the rights years later.

A good chunk of them travel the festival circuit which must be reasonably lucrative, particularly anyone who has been at Cannes which ensures you have at least some money behind you and also yuo have name-checking which guarantees you'll sell a lot of tickets at festivals . They come all the way to the ends of earth so must be worth it

if you are in it for the money aren't you missing the point of a film festival?

EDIT: I mean, that's what filmmakers get from them. Actual attendees are there to see the movies.
