Though I'm flattered by people's willingness to spread awareness to the
film and the plight of animals, all free uploading and/or downloading
of EARTHLINGS is illegal and breaks copyright laws. We (Nation Earth)
are not a non-profit organization, and all rights had to be paid for by
myself and my producing partners before we could release the film.
That includes both the footage, and more specifically the music. Why
people think it's okay to simply download this film for free continues
to surprise us and cost Nation Earth money. Earthlings, as a finished
product, is financially "in the red" for this reason. It is also the
reason we haven't been able to translate the film into more languages,
which costs in the neighborhood of $2,000 per language. I wanted at
least a dozen languages on the DVD (based on interest overseas).
That's $24,000 for subtitles alone. As it stands now we have only
three languages available.

This film did not finance nor direct itself, and it took nearly 5 years
to complete and release. If anyone believes in or wants to support
this film's message, please buy a copy of the DVD from the film's
official web site. Downloading the film for free or pirating DVDs and
passing them out to others is illegal and has become the primary reason
why Earthlings does not have a distribution deal.

Respectfully,
