Hollywood often complains about the billions of dollars allegedly lost due to piracy. Indie film makers, on the other hand, tend to welcome the free buzz generated when their film is pirated. The makers of Ink belong to this latter group, and are thanking the hundreds and thousands of people who downloaded their movie on BitTorrent.

- Why bother downloading it, it's on netflix's instant play. I'm pretty sure most people that are into indie films already have netflix anyways.
