[PLUG] Fw: Revolution OS

["Brian P. Mohr" <brian@bpmohr.com>]

All, attached is a new message I received from the director of Revolution
OS.  He is selling copies of the the movie on VHS for
educational/institutional use to raise money to have real DVD and VHS media
produced.  If anyone would like to buy a copy, let me know.  I am not sure
of the cost yet though.

intention was to let individuals who did not have access to Bravo or I.F.C.
to chance to view your film.  I did not provide the film at cost and only
gave it to a few individuals.  You will also not that I was hesident and did
mentioned that it was probally copyrighted and not copyleft.  I deeply
regret any impact I have made to this film, this was not my intention.  I
thought the film was an important peice of education that our members could
appricate.  Again I am very sorry, and have not distrubuted or even offered
to distrubute any more copies.
