Pirated Film Director: “Exposure Unquestionably a Positive Thing”

For example, The Dark Knight, despite becoming last year’s most pirated movie, also earned more than $1 billion USD worldwide. For Indie movie producers, much like up and coming music artists, BitTorrent’s potential is enormous, giving them a worldwide audience and exposure with only the cost of a few mouse clicks.
