  • As a member of the IAWTV I hope you and the entire organization will call geoblocking what it really is: regional censorship of the World Wide Web. Yes, some companies may see commercial value in it but they should not confuse a geoblocked property with a property on the World Wide Web. They are quite different and if you want to be taken seriously as a "web series" you really cannot be geoblocked because then you are not on the World Wide Web.

  • @modelmotion please don't confuse the work we have done for hire with the work we do for ourselves. When other people pay for something, they control it, not us. Big Fantastic has always voiced our strong support of an open internet - we started doing this in the first place to reach a global audience, and intend to continue doing that. And I can only speak for myself on this channel, not the entire IAWTV.

  • good job Chris - keep it up!

  • Perhaps you could make a vlog where you directly address the issue and make it clear not only your position on an "open internet" but also the practice of geoblocking as used by Hollywood studios and some nation states to regionally censor the internet. Clearly you cannot talk for the entire IAWTV but you can make a clear and unequivocal statement about your own position on geoblocking as it applies to the World Wide Web and "web series" in particular.

  • The IAWTV is a body that claims to support "standards" yet this body which you are a prominent member of has some members who have openly supported geoblocking. This is not about Prom Queen, a web series that you worked on that was geoblocked. This is about the bigger picture and your personal views on the topic and the views of the IAWTV as it applies to standards for "web television" as they like to call it.

  • @cmccaleb Since you were maybe the biggest name among producers who have geoblocked the vast majority of the shows you've made, (and Prom Queen is now 100% geoblocked ensuring that I will never waste my time trying to watch it ever again,) how do you plan on promoting an open web? I ask this because EVERYONE who defends it cites your "success" as a reason why this archaic system "works". Your words clearly carry weight in LA and that is why this is something worth addressing.
