Well, it looks like it would be worth it to make available a copy over the web.  If it is made closed (not public access, some password protected space) we need not worry of copyrights.

If you do find yourself with a digital copy of the video, even if it's 650MB DV, I'm sure Montalk or I could do the compression and stream it over the web.  You could send the full video over the web (if you've got high-speed) or just send snail-mail a DVD to one of us.

Let me know and if there is more AV content people want to share, maybe we should think about a more substantial AV library for NR members.  What do you think Montalk?  Email me to discuss hosting, etc.  I'll look into bandwidth costs.

Anyone else have interesting research videos/lectures/etc that's not particularly accessible that they would like to share with others (via streaming AV)?

Today I scanned and converted a book into digital format - can send it to anyone now, without having to send it in the mail or wait for it to be returned. That's pretty convenient.

What I have in mind is an electronic library. Users can download or stream content, save it to their computers or burn it, all in the name of dissemination and preservation of information. So in addition to AV, it could include e-books and audio as well. The password-protect feature takes care of any legal issues.

Yeah, I'll discuss the details with Cameron offlist and see if this would be feasable. Anyone else is invited to email me with suggestions.

Re: Anyone read "Behold a Pale Horse"

my only question;

why do you have to password protect it for "legal issues" ?

Re: Anyone read "Behold a Pale Horse"

Because when it's fully open to the public, then anyone from snitches to lawyers to copyright-spiders can wander in, see that copyrighted information is being made available to everyone on planet earth, and that would easily justify a removal request or lawsuit. The password can be given to anyone who is trustworthy, so it doesn't deny access to anyone who honestly wants the information, and its "private" nature would make it barely different from one's own private library where books or videos can be lent out.

There are ways to get a particular file out there without password protect - you just sign up anonymously for a free hosting service and post your file. Most of the time it goes undetected.  But the more such files you keep in one spot, the sooner someone (most likely entering from a search engine) will get their panties in a bunch and have the hosting company remove the site. That's why an e-library should be password protected.

Re: Anyone read "Behold a Pale Horse"

Finished watch the Cooper tape with Palulukon last night. Talked to a friend who repairs computers and he knows someone who can convert the vid cass to DVD. Will hopefully contact this person tomorrow. I don't know how much he will want to charge, but if it is out of our price range can anyone think of an alternative. BTW, has anyone else seen this tape of him in Sedona?
