[](http://www.flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/304475338/?ref=chrismessina.me)Now here's something clearly to be thankful for. Sundance award-winning documentary [The Corporation](http://www.thecorporation.com/?ref=chrismessina.me) has been [released for free on BitTorrent](http://torrentfreak.com/sundance-winner-the-corporation-released-for-free-on-bittorrent/?ref=chrismessina.me). TorrentFreak has the details:

> The new torrent download includes a high-quality rip of the master DVD and a 40 minute interview with Joel Bakan, the author of the book and writer of the film. Mark Achbar actually dedicated a computer in his garage to do nothing but seed. Although the torrent download is free, the filmmakers encourage people to [donate a small fee](http://thecorporation.com/pay.php?ref=chrismessina.me) if they like what they see. We asked Mark Achbar how the first round of donations went. He said, “since my [initial torrent launch](http://torrentfreak.com/the-corporation-free-filmmakers-share-edition/?ref=chrismessina.me) of The Corporation at the end of August, there have been $635.00 in contributions. They ranged from $2 to three very generous gifts of $100 each. All are very much appreciated.” The makers of “The Corporation just launched a Campaign for Corporate Harm Reduction (C4CHR) in collaboration with [Hellocoolworld.com](http://hellocoolworld.com/?ref=chrismessina.me). The purpose of this campaign is to collect stories about the impact of the film, asking people what they did, or something they’ve heard happened as a result of the film. “We want to create a feedback loop on the “what you can do” front, and perhaps turn it into a book. The torrent is a great way to stay in touch with people about our current activities Achbar” Achbar explained. He added, “my only regret is that I didn’t put up my own torrent sooner.”

Ha, I just did the same thing. I archived everything in my inbox and figure that if it was important, I'll run into it again. Next step... going through those starred items.
