As the filmmaker, this is so disappointing! Before you watch the movie somewhere for free online, please consider that this documentary cost REAL money to produce, and our only way of making the investor his money back on the film (notice I did not say make a profit...we're nowhere close to that) is through DVD sales. Please don't be so inconsiderate. -William Gazecki, Future by Design Producer/Director -fbdthemovie-
@wgazecki Mr Gazecki, I mean you no disrespect, I deeply appreciate all that you have contributed not just through FBD but through all of your films. I completely understand where you are coming from and why you are disappointed. I'm disappointed too. But please, let me make the point that this is a complex issue. If I were to take down this video and the movie were removed from the other website, it would not change a thing. It would only make the pursuit of this information more difficult.
I believe that the sharing of free information via the internet is a growing phenomenon that can't be stopped, and why should it? It's what we ALL deserve. Let's remember there are two parties who are negatively affected here; either the filmmaker/investor or the audience. A simple google search will show that this movie is freely available via a number of different torrent sites.
Now is this a good thing or a bad thing? It's certainly a good thing for the audience, for why pay for something when you can watch it for free? For the filmmaker? Not so much. While it makes the film more widely available, chances are the money used to make the film will not be returned back. This is an unfortunate reality. But to me, the opposite would be much more unfortunate.
Coming from a low rung in the social ladder, it would be very difficult to purchase every movie I wanted to watch; laugh if you want but it's just an unnecessary inconvenience. For others, perhaps this would be easier in which case I would encourage them to help out and buy the movie, but I wouldn't push it. (Keep in mind, just because the movie is freely available doesn't mean people won't donate to help support.) This is exactly what I did.
One way or another, this is the way it is and the only way to change the situation where your own well being is contingent upon DVD sales, is to have a steady process of the breaking down of the price paradigm through technological tools such as torrents and online video sharing. It is frustrating to me that either way someone is going to be left disadvantaged, but I feel it's an important step in deconstructing the social establishment.
It sure does make it a lot harder for filmmakers like yourself who really do care but are struggling to even stay in movie production. I am sorry about this. But open source information will not stop and if it were, it would be a very sad day in my eyes. I say if FBD were to be taken off the internet, so too should everything else. This would be a blow to the face for the people's revolution.
Please understand me, I'm not trying to be inconsiderate, but this is what the future is heading towards and I don't think it can or should be stopped. If you or anyone finds things I say to be false or inaccurate, please, I would love to hear what you have to say. I hope this does not stop your ability to make great films.
@imyoda69 >It's certainly a good thing for the audience, for why pay for something when you can watch it for free?
Unfortunately, on a long run, it'd come out as a “bad” thing for the audience as well. I am discussing, of course, the situation, when the viewer does not support even those projects that he did like and when he really had an opportunity to do so.
That's because content makers will be less motivated to provide quality to their views, or will certainly have no other choice but to ...
@imyoda69 get involved with the major copyright-trolling media companies.
And those companies, on their half, would have more arguments to forbid alternative content distribution and alternative creator-audience relation systems, which would've continued to speak and be against such companies and their interests, if maintained.
