@Andrés Lomeña: it is also playing spanish television, so you can look there!

@niedakh I think thats just some boilerplate on the wordpress template of our distributor, B-Side. Nothing to get too worked up about!

Oh and another thing, from the screening agreement:

Free culture? Somewhat, the movie is a step forward, but I would not talk about an existence of a free culture yet, if the minds of people who speak of it, are still able to come up with restriction like those above. Ladies & Gentlemen, we have a lot of work to do.

Why in the world would someone restrict the download of the CC movie about CC to the US?

I think I seen this at an independent theater in my town. There is only one indie theater in my town, and I believe Ihave seen this movie. If this is the same movie that I seen, I agree, it is a great movie, and The film makers are some of the coolest in the industry. If we are talking about the same movie.

The most astonishing thing on the film is that Marybeth Peters, US Register of Copyrights, doesn't have a computer at home, has never downloaded anything from the internet and has never remixed anything. If she equates computers with extended typewriters, internet downloads with copyright infringements and remix with some kind of plagiarism, I understand now why copyright is broken worldwide.

@Andrés Lomeña: you may download from The Pirate Bay. It is perfectly legal as long as you don't use it with commercial purposes, since the film was released under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial license . Remember to donate, if you like the film. If you don't like torrents, I guess you should be able to find it in Rapidshare or Megaupload.

OK, so the download is restricted to the good ol' US of A and the global access site has stupidly split the film into chapters with an ident that plays at the beginning of each one. What to do?

Those outside the US can use a US-based proxy to gain access. Once you have the download link, you can download normally (i.e. not via the proxy).

I am from Spain and I cannot watch the movie. Just for people within USA. I´d like to see the film. Where can I find the documentary?

And isn’t there a huge conflict of interest between representing authors who have agreed to and want their material used/and remixed for the publicity in the Creative Commons and then minimizing their publicity by encouraging people to pirate copyrighted instead???

does girl talk do something in this movie that somehow negates the fact that he is a wildly overrated hack?
