Re: [PLUG] Revolution OS


He should produce it on proper VCD format then instead of
encrypted-hard-to-copy DVD format that requires computers with DVD drives
and more horsepower.

I don't know about you guys but to me:
DVD at K-mart, $25
VCD at Chinatown, $15

Same movie, quality is different, but comparable, both are legal, the more
expensive one requires a much newer computer to play and is hard to back
up... hmmm...

Funny how his movie about open-source is commercial ;)

He is trying to produce the movie in DVD and VHS and will have a hardtime if the movie starts showing up everywhere in VCD.  So please do not redistrubute the movie, the movie is copyrighted.  If you enjoy the movie be sure to support the effort of the director by purchasing you own copy if it comes out on DVD or VHS.  Thanks
