Due to its extremely graphic content, the ''Broken Movie'' has never seen an "official" release. A copy was leaked in the 1990s and traded for years, resulting in many poor-quality, high-generation copies, and was later encoded and distributed through P2P networks.
However, on December 30 2006, someone leaked a high-quality DVD image on The Pirate Bay; it includes the video for "Help Me I Am In Hell," which none of the fan-made compilations did, because the first leak had the video dropped out. It was leaked online by the same user who uploaded the leaked DVD version of ''[[Closure]]'' and there is speculation that this version of the movie has been sourced directly from the master tapes and that Reznor himself is the source of the leaks, as implied by a post on his blog on [[The Spiral]]: ''"12/21/06 : Happy Holidays! This one is a guilt-free download. (shhhh - I didn't say that out loud). If you know what I'm talking about, cool."''
In 2013, the ''Broken Movie'' was uploaded to the official NIN Vimeo account, but was promptly removed by Vimeo.
