Madonna has teamed up with BitTorrent to offer her short film "secretprojectrevolution" as a legal free download. The torrent site is known for being a sea full of pirated material and this is seen as a step forward for the site to legitimize itself from the negative cloud that sours over them. The "Queen of Pop" co-directed the 17-minute movie with Steven Klein and is to help push a global movement called "Art For Freedom" that was initiated by the singer. "My goal is to show by the example of secretprojectrevolution my creative commitment to inspire change in the world through artistic expression," the "Girl Gone Wild" hitmaker said in a statement. "I hope my film and other submissions to Art For Freedom will be a call-to-action and give people a place to voice their own creative expression to help fight oppression, intolerance and complacency."
The collaboration with BitTorrent comes as a bundle and not only will fans be able to download the film, they will also have exclusive bonus content for free. The extras include stills from the film and the different trailers that were used to promote the piece as well as an exclusive interview with the superstar and a handwritten message by Madge herself. "This film operates on many levels. It examines our private prisons. It questions what we do, how we do it, and how we treat others. It questions our governments, and our collective thought patterns. Think about it - the power of art can lead to peace," Steven Klein said.
News of the initiative comes at the same time as Madonna's MDNA Tour Blu-Ray is being recalled after fans complained of the inferior quality of the video. "I'm absolutely horrified. My label is looking into it," Madonna said on Reddit. "Trying to get to the bottom of it. It might be a case of old technology not working with new technology. Please be patient. I spent 6 months editing and doing the sound mix for the DVD, last thing I want to hear is that fans aren't getting the fruits of my labor." After looking into the situation, Interscope Records decided to do a U.S. recall on the concert disc. "Due to an error in manufacturing that has compromised the 5.1 audio in the US, a full recall of the Blu-ray disc will be issued in the US. No other markets will be affected. We apologize for this inconvenience."
