After I posted my comment I read the one below. I just want to point out that my complaint isn’t to morally justify pirating this movie, which I haven’t done. But I do think it’s a pragmatic explanation for the widespread piracy here. Up until 12 days ago there was no other way to see it.

I would feel a lot more sympathetic if this film hadn’t gone for months and months being basically unwatchable but for in-person at a handful of festivals and maybe one week at AFI. Now they’re selling it on Vimeo (what?) for only thirty days (??). Maybe if the movie had been easily available for purchase for the past eight months, people would have bought it.

I’m not into pirating anything, but just for the record, I went to the Vimeo link to buy the film and got a “Unfortunately, this title is unavailable in your region” (I’m in the UK). In my experience, anything that isn’t day-and-date globally these days gets pirated massively and the unavailability is cited as moral justification by downloaders.
