Piracy is Good?

I have this movie on  hard disc for two years now and I found it interesting back then and the analysis correct.

Now I accidentally stumbled across it again and if you have an hour, take a look at it:

Abraham Lincoln once said The trouble with quotes from the internet is that you never know if they're genuine.

It certainly makes for interesting viewing - about half way through it now. General message seems to be that  commercial broadcasters are screwed!  :laugh:
Certainly in the UK a couple of our broadcasters are in the doo-doo because advertising revenue is dropping so sharply.

I think realistically piracy will always have a place in the world - I know of a few films that only existed as bootlegs for decades, and in a way it gives true freedom of information: if the copyright holder is unable or unwilling to release certain things, the pirates have no such obstacles.
