Do you happen to know of a list of DVDs that are not encrypted (and
region code free)? Even though there's still the issue of patented
formats, I like to buy those DVDs to show my support for the
creator/distributor's dismissal of DRM. So far I have Revolution OS,
Elephants Dream and Big Buck Bunny.
Both parts of Steal This Film have their DVD versions which can be
downloaded from their site. If you like the films then you can give
them a donation.
For legally downloadable content that is not also distributed in
official pressed DVD form I set the bar a bit higher to only
non-encumbered formats.
I had heard of Steal This Film but haven't watched it yet. Their website
doesn't offer a non-encumbered format and the Ogg Theora Vorbis version
on The Pirate Bay has zero seeders. I see that they're working on a
movie based on the documentaries, but considering the subject and their
prior releases, it's unlikely that they'll release it as a boxed DVD.
However, I have just sent them an e-mail asking to provide their films
in a free format. I'll let you know their answer.
Apparantly they're available in Ogg format on archive.org [1] and there
are also ogg versions of their archive [2]. Sweet.
