OJ Simpson's canned "If I Did It" leaked to BitTorrent

23 June 2007 11:17 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 13 comments

Last year, the former NFL-player OJ Simpson announced that he was set to release a book in which he would detail what really would have happened had he actually committed the murders of his ex-wife and her friend. After weeks of consumer outrage, the book was canned and 400,000 copies were destroyed. This week however, a digital version of the book, "If I Did It", has been leaked to torrent trackers worldwide.

The book begins, �I�m going to tell you a story you�ve never heard before, because no one knows this story the way I know it. It takes place on the night June 12, 1994, and it concerns the murder of my ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her young friend, Ronald Goldman. I want you to forget everything you think you know about that night because I know the facts better than anyone. I know the players. I�ve seen the evidence. I�ve heard the theories. And, of course, I�ve read all the stories: That I did it. That I did it but I don�t know I did it. That I can no longer tell fact from fiction. That I wake up in the middle of the night, consumed by guilt, screaming.�

In 2006, the publisher Judith Regan called the book a confession. �This is an historic case, and I consider this his confession.�

When the manufactured copies were destroyed, one one copy was left untouched and it is reportedly under lock and key. However, a copy surfaced on eBay this year and sold for a hefty $65,000.

The new, leaked digital version is 118 pages and in PDF form and can be found on ThePirateBay and MiniNova among many sites.

I will have to go commit an illegal act and download this book, smoke a huge fatty, rebroadcast MLB and then camcord a movie. Then smoke another huge fatty. Just another usual Friday night for me. No wait, I swear it's not a confession! It was only a WHAT-IF! I would NEVER do anything illegal! [ + quote]

Shouldnt the book be titled.... "If I did it, but I didnt, but seriously would if I did, no really I did do it, but I didnt, I know what happen but I didnt do it" Legal notes in back of book.. I claim no responsibility for myself. "I" being myself but yet the other personallity in which really did it, also claims no responsibility for deathes of uhh.. whats that b*tches name oh Nicole and the guy she was screwing, oh I mean having an affair with." My new book coming soon.... "what if I did it..uh again" [ + quote]

This case is ongoing and it will never end like the Princess Diana's death there will be a lot of conspiracy's based on what happen. I feel if he did it he should be buried alive. Shame people are making money on a aspect of history that was very destructive. [ + quote]

Yea and Fox News Channel was the ones trying to distribute and sell this until the family and public was in an outrage then they canned the idea. [ + quote]

Doesnt the family now own the rights to the book? I heard they were trying to rename it...... Regardless, either side should take ANY profit off the court case,death,etc and donate it... [ + quote]

This news story should be deleted. I thought promoting piracy was discouraged, that last sentance is fairly encouraging... [ + quote]

If the book is not being released then it's not piracy is it? Linking to sites which MAY offer pirted/copyrighted material is not against site rules. Directly linking to pirated/copyrighted files IS against the site rules. -Mike [ + quote] This message has been edited since posting. Last time this message was edited on 24 June 2007 4:35

I was sorry to hear the Brown Family is now considering having the book published, so they can reap the rewards. I say....BURN the damn thing, and let the two rest in peace! [ + quote]

It is sad, but I'll bet the OJ case will still be talked about 40 years from now just like the JFK murder. [ + quote]
