Movie Director Uses BitTorrent as Lawyers Chase Those Downloading His Movie

“I download lots of TV-shows, I’ll admit that. But it’s also about them already having been aired on TV, and have kinda been accessible for free already. I also think it’s stupid to have to wait for six or seven months to get to watch a TV-show that’s already been aired in the USA.” - Tommy Wirkola, the director of a successful Norwegian Kill Bill parody movie who admits to downloading TV shows via BitTorrent himself and doesn’t support his distributor as they take legal action against his fans.
