Minecraft Documentary Premiers On Pirate Bay As Well As Xbox Live

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."

    They have put the movie on piratebay because they rightfully say that it would end up there anyway and also they understand if people might not be able to buy it (right now).

    From the wording of the message this is by no means an invitation to freeloaders. So if you like the movie do the right thing and at least buy it afterwards.

      You wouldn't be pirating it if you downloaded it from the Pirate Bay, it was put there by the copyright holder, just like you're not pirating Ubuntu if you torrent it. Of course, in the UK the Pirate Bay is blocked by ISPs, but in this particular case you'd be breaking no laws, civil or criminal. That's kind of in the headline. And summary. And article.
