The award winning
Canadian documentary ‘The Corporation’ has been released on
BitTorrent for free. Filmmaker Mark Achbar just released an updated
“official” torrent of it. Everyone is free to download,
watch, discuss, and share it.
The Corporation
received more than 20 awards, including an audience award at the the
prestigious Sundance Film Festival. The Film gives insight into the
inner workings of large and powerful corporations, and how these affect
our society.The new torrent download includes a high-quality
rip of the master DVD and a 40 minute interview with Joel Bakan, the
author of the book and writer of the film. Mark Achbar actually
dedicated a computer in his garage to do nothing but seed.Although
the torrent download is free, the filmmakers encourage people to donate
a small fee if they like what they see. We asked Mark Achbar how the
first round of donations went. He said, “since my initial torrent launch
of The Corporation at the end of August, there have been $635.00 in
contributions. They ranged from $2 to three very generous gifts of $100
each. All are very much appreciated.”
