I think this is of interest to hackers. Certainly is to this one, anyway. I agree with your solution to defining 'free'. If you can find it in a place that claims to be doing due diligence in determining that the film's creators intend it to be available for $0 then it's good to go. And if some contrary contributor decides to review something less legal, it's just a review, so while not in the spirit of the series, it's not a risk to HPR.
