BitTorrent and Madonna join forces for free speech Sep 17th 2013, 15:00 BitTorrent is making its biggest move yet in its quest to become a legitimate source of legal content: partnering with Madonna. The queen of pop is using BitTorrent to distribute her new film, secretprojectrevolution, for free beginning Sept. 24. Madonna co-directed the 17-minute movie with photographer Steven Klein in an effort to raise awareness about human rights—specifically, free speech. The film launches Madonna's online Art for Freedom project, a call for crowdsourced videos, songs, poems, and photos that protest oppression and persecution—hashtagged #artforfreedom, obviously. VICE Media will be curating the project. Democratic distribution Madonna fans can download the secretprojectrevolution Bundle on BitTorrent beginning Sept. 24 at 2 p.m. EST. The Bundle includes film trailers and stills, but if you go a step further and submit your e-mail or make a donation, you unlock the HD and 2K versions of the film, a VICE interview with Madonna, and a message from the star.
