Steal This Film is a film series documenting the movement against intellectual property. Part One, produced in Sweden and released in 2006, takes account of the prominent players in the Swedish piracy culture: The Pirate Bay, Piratbyrån, and the Pirate Party. This film includes a critical analysis of an alleged regulatory capture[citation needed] (1) performed by the Hollywood film industry (2) to leverage economic sanctions by the United States government on Sweden (3) through the WTO (4) to pressure Swedish police into conducting a search and seizure (5) against Swedish law on 'Ministerstyre' [ministerial pressure placed illegally on other agency activities, a crime in Sweden] (6) for the purpose of disrupting The Pirate Bay tracker for P2P Internet file sharing using the BitTorrent protocol.
Part two is currently in post-production and will be released soon.
Financing
The Steal This Film series, produced by the League of Noble Peers, is funded by donations collected via the www.stealthisfilm.com website, using a PayPal account.
Production
Steal This Film was conceived, directed, and produced by The League of Noble Peers. Video interviews were shot in Sweden. It was released in August 2006 only via the BitTorrent protocol for peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing.
Interviews were conducted with Pirate Bay members Fredrik (tiamo), Gottfrid (Anakata), Peter (brokep) and Piratbyrån members Rasmus Fleisher (RSMS), Johan (Krignell), and Sara (Fraux), and many Swedish citizens.
Steal This Film contains other media content, such as the music of Can, tracks "Thief" and "She Brings the Rain". Clips from other documentary interviews with industry and governmental officials, several industry anti-piracy promotionals, logos from several major hollywood studios, and sequences from The Day After Tomorrow, The Matrix, Zabriskie Point, and They Live are included. The use of these short clips is believed to constitute fair use.
The film also contains "subliminal messages" throughout.[1][2] These messages are readily apparent, negating any subliminal effect.
