yeah, we did advertise it as the history of piracy- because that’s what would interest the people @ mvgroup the most, we figured.

just responded to your comment on mvgroup.org, and now here too i guess. i feel like we’re playing hide and seek or something.

in any case, as long as you’re putting full transcripts of it here, i guess i might as well too.

jason scott (the director of this series) posted above, and it takes courage to say what he said, as well as release it under the license he did. (as well as not rail on us for putting this out on the net faster than was desirable).

in response, we will NOT be releasing the extra features online, and they will be available only to those who purchase the dvd. (and they are worth it… except for maybe the bathtub dude laugh.gif ).

if you enjoyed it, buy the dvd. this is not something we’d (or i’d) say often. the discovery channel and the bbc have enough money.

however, this person is an individual. he deserves to break even (at the very least), and this is a great series he has created. we wish him the greatest of luck with it.

creative commons is something we’re (as a group) very interested in, and we hope other nonfiction filmmakers investigate this as a viable option for releasing their work, or portions of their work under.

on a personal note, i will be studying to be a documentary filmmaker in university for the next several years, and creative commons is a license i’m interested in releasing my work under.

jason has and will, i think, helped prove that CC is a viable option, and surely introduced many people who would not be normally familiar with it to it.

cheers, man.

cheers, jason.
