Pirate Bay Movie Fully Funded In Three Days http://bit.ly/9aFEww

People involved in the P2P scene are generally thought of as not wanting to pay for anything, despite the evidence actually proving the opposite. (People who download unauthorized copies of music and film/tv actually buy more.) More evidence from this example. I nearly posted the request for funding a couple of days ago but it wasn’t really newsworthy. Getting funded – even a small $25K budget – is always worth celebrating.

Just three days after filmmaker Simon Klose started a fundraiser to complete his upcoming Pirate Bay documentary, the seed funding goal of $25,000 has already been reached. The Pirate audience has been extremely generous, with a full 27 days left the counter currently sits at $28,099
