Any idea what happened with Dogma? Obviously ruffled many feathers at the time it was released, but I’d hope it’s not in danger of becoming a lost film. Just to make sure, I better go torrent it today.
I’ve actually never seen it before, it was just one of the top examples when I searched.
Looking it up now, you’re not going to believe this, but it’s because of Harvey Weinstein personally holding the film rights hostage. Somehow after a license expired, the film rights reverted to him, and he offered to sell it back to Kevin Smith at some unreasonable price that Smith didn’t want to pay. It sounds pretty ethical to torrent at this point.

Thanks for the info. Too bad Weinstein ever had anything to do with Hollywood….or humanity for that matter.
I could be wrong, but I’m thinking that Kevin Smith wouldn’t even mind having his films torrented.
