From the stupid video file, here's a story about a film critic that got busted selling "screener" DVDs (for a really low amount). Surprising that he'd be so short sighted, given how easy they are to trace.
I have a friend who is an attorney, and he's defending an employee that let one of these screener DVDs "slip" to a buddy. The buddy put it on the web.
It's 2006 folks. Nothing you do online is secret.
A team of young writers and producers lost their network show, and decided to create their own broadband content for a young online demographic. Black20 offers viral content from a small office in Brooklyn, New York. Says the website: “Our office is small, our desks don’t have drawers, and the heat craps out at least…
Six months ago I’d be falling asleep on my couch right now watching TV. But here’s a classic example of how I’m “leaning forward” instead of “leaning back.” Unless your grandson is reading this post to you, you’re probably making a similar transition. “Here’s my travel log, and keep in mind that for online video…
