The DECEMBERERISTS have made their video for "Sixteen Military Wives" available to download via BitTorrent. BitTorrent is one of the latest peer-to-peer file sharing protocols and has gained significant popularity in recent years. The Decemberists decided to use the protocol because their video was never going to air on MTV or VH1 and using the Internet was the only way for it to be seen. This is an older story, but I just found about it on Wired. More information about downloading the video can be found on the decemberists.com.

UPDATE: I just saw the video and it's actually pretty good. It has a real Wes Anderson/Rushmore feel to it. I highly suggest downloading it.
