The Max Headroom Pirating Incident

***UPDATE*** 10/9/2010

Hey everyone,

This is Charlie Curran, the director of this little short documentary. I haven't logged into this youtube account in several years so it was really amazing to come back and see that this little video we did as a high school project had 30k+ views. Since then puberty and film school have happened so if you want to see what I've been up to please check out my website at www.charliecurran.com as I am no longer regularly posting videos on youtube.

Thanks again for watching, glad to see that something I made was enjoyed.

Best,
- Charlie

If your a readit user you might have come across someone claiming that he knew this guy and was informed on how he did it there is proof in this post on readit that they were friends at all but the way he went into detail on how to do this seemed very convincing

Normally, if I saw someone do this, I would think my dad did it. But I told him about it, and he said he had never heard of Clutch Cargo, and hasn't ever left Wisconsin. So, I don't have any more leads. Lol

@Popteart I just thought I was correcting someone who didn't have a clue. So defensive.

[Popteart]

@JustinRheaPatterson Oh wow, I forgot a letter. Go find something better to do. I think most people on her knew what I was talking about, but you didn't.

[JustinRheaPatterson]

@Popteart So you think there is a statue out there limiting him? I would guess a statute is more likely.

[Popteart]

This person needs to come out and admit it. It's been 25 years almost, I'm sure the statue of limitations is up on this.

@sambda I have re-read your post, and I see that I am the one who is wrong. I am guilty of the same error of which I accused you. How ironic is that? I apologize good sir or madam.

[Pseudobadger]

@sambda You are assuming that the information you read on Wikipedia is correct, an "iffy" proposition. Furthermore, Wikipedia makes no mentions of MacDougall in the Max Headroom incident, but rather references MacDougall in the HBO Captain Midnight incident. You have successfully referenced a questionable source incorrectly. Perhaps, when offering information in the future, you might want to be more careful in order to be considered a more credible source yourself.

@TheMaxGrody I humbly disagree....I think the WGN transmission was just a test to see if everything was going to work.
