Be careful the movie is available for free on Youtube/Vimeo for a very limited time! After the 24hr free-view period, the movie will be offline (see. http://www.thehackermovie.com/about/ ).
Maybe this is A hacker movie?
Video cannot play with your current setup. On my Linux box. Aaaaand we're done.

THX. We can download the file with this link. :-)

Heck, I understand we all want to see when we want because we have better things to do now or not enough time. Regardless, I don't think we should ruin from starters their commercial project.
I mean, it's not even a DRM. Just a weak misleading protection layer from Vimeo for deterring little noobs that don't know how to use their browser's debug console.
Let's give the creators some advantage before gaming the system.
Now if only I wasn't at work right now... The premise of the movie seems pretty interesting I love the profit-share model, and the motivation behind creating the film: "At the core of ALGORITHM’s plot are the questions that are shaking up the tech world to it’s very core, and the nations of the world right along with them: privacy, human rights, the place of government in the lives of citizens, the value and power of…
The business model for ALGORITHM is based on the models of tech startups as described in The Lean Startup. It’s a profit-share agreement, giving everyone who works on the movie a vested interest in the success of the project. All profits get shared by the artist who actually made it happen. Lots of indie movies are put together this way. It's industry code for 'work for free.' I own a percentage of several feature fi…
I can definetly understand finding people is easier than paying them. I guess I didn't really factor the economy and indie movie scene into my response.
Experience never hurts - so long as you learn from it (and it is benifical to you (eg. connections and favors; as you pointed out)
Fun lines: "I am a god" (The protagonist) "She's a lightning god" (Talking about a girl who chips Xbox's)

Shouldn't we play fair with them? Although you can use that link to download it (yep, it works), where is the point to don't keep it to ourselves?

Also, if someone genuinely can't afford the price, they can still enjoy the video. That seems like a net win for society.

Well, downloading the video from Vimeo doesn't cost the project anything. And if I like the video, then I can support them by paying. I don't see any upside to taking on the risk myself. Also, if someone genuinely can't afford the price, they can still enjoy the video. That seems like a net win for society.
But... I see no point into publishing the direct stream link. Although it's funny due what the movie is about, I think it creates some disadvantages for them.
I hope they took in mind this and they don't feel threatened by this behavior.
