Today we bring you the next episode of the Steal This Show podcast, discussing the latest file-sharing and copyright news. In this episode we discuss recent news stories with well-respected indie producer Brian Newman, who explains that piracy isn't all bad.

In this episode Brian Newman, CEO of SubGenre, discusses entertainment artists against the DMCA, British Lords against copyright trolls, and Dutch film producers suing ISPs.

Brian brings fresh perspective on the question of whether piracy’s really hurting indie film producers – and argues that piracy may not be a failure of morality, but of business.

He further explains how for him, P2P and sharing represents a real chance for filmmakers to develop audiences as the depth of choice available on services like Netflix is shrinking, Brian argues that piracy can be an important means of discovery for these companies.
