Minecraft Documentary Premiers On Pirate Bay As Well As Xbox Live

Posted by timothy on from the with-permission-that-is dept.

An anonymous reader writes "2 Player Productions, the producers of Minecraft: The Story of Mojang, on Saturday uploaded the documentary to The Pirate Bay. The news comes as a surprise move after an announcement earlier this week that the film is premiering today for free on Xbox Live to Gold subscribers. You can download it here."

    How can we make appropriate minecraft block comments without ascii art!

    Sorry.... I would consider something $5 or less for this for a downloadable copy, or even as a donation, but anything above that is annoyingly too much.

    Know your audience!!!

    If they were asking $3, I'd give it to them in a heartbeat (my son is big into Minecraft, and would enjoy watching this). The pricing is probably a limitation of their distributor, "Redux", but if they were going to distribute this via Pirate Bay, why not just ask for a donation via PayPal? I'm sure they would make a lot more money doing that than with this scheme.

    If you're not willing to pay $8 for an hour and a half documentary that's fine. It'll probably be on sale in a month or two anyway. I think they have a right to ask for what they think their work is worth, and you have a right not to watch it and keep your kids from watching it in the meantime.
