As part of Sony Picture Entertainment’s media blitz today to defend its decision of pulling The Interview after President Barack Obama called the move “a mistake,” SPE CEO told NPR that Sony “very much wanted to keep the picture in release” but “we don’t have any takers, neither on the video demand side nor on the e-commerce side.”

That is not exactly the case — at least one outlet has volunteered its services to release the Seth Rogen comedy, which triggered one of the biggest hacking scandals in history. BitTorrent Chief Content Officer Matt Mason told Deadline today that his file-sharing service wants to circulate The Interview. “We have reached out (to Sony) on a number of fronts,” he said. “It seems like no one else wants to touch this, but for us this about the two things we care about most: an open Internet and a sustainable future for creativity. This is bigger than this film at this point. As a company, we feel we have no choice but to help Sony Pictures and defend these principles.” The idea is to use BitTorrent Bundle, an alternative digital-distribution option for artists, musicians, filmmakers and distributors to release material to consumers at for a fee. The company says nearly 20,000 creators and rights holders use the Bundle publishing platform.

Among the most notable BitTorrent Bundle releases was for Drafthouse Films’ The Act Of Killing. The Oscar-nominated documentary, which profiles the death squad leaders who committed mass murders in Indonesia in the 1960s re-enacting their murders for the camera, was downloaded more than 3.5 million times.
