Here is why I find it funny.

From what I understand (and I'm not expert, just going off some of the stuff I have read) he got money from the TPB guys and they helped him raise money for the movie. They also agreed to give him access and help him make the money, so long as they had some say in the distribution.

So the TPB makes money by giving people access to other people's copyrighted works and telling people how to use torrents. This guy is affiliated with them and now that he has a work that he would like to make money with he doesn't want you doing exactly what TPB has been doing all along.
