I’ve bee meaning to check outside the movie <a href=”http://www.getlamp.com/” target=”_blank”>Get Lamp</a> (a documentary about words adventure games) for a while immediately, as I’ve heard excellent things about it (and, it should be confessed, I was an avid, potentially obsessive, consumer of words adventure machine games in the 80s). Also, I’ve always been a fan of the filmmaker, Jason Scott’s other project <a href=”http://www.textfiles.com/”>Textfiles.com</a>. While I hadn’t had the chance yet, TorrentFreak has the nice tale of <a href=”http://torrentfreak.com/filmmaker-schools-pirates-on-fair-path-to-rip-his-dvd-101019/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A Torrentfreak %28Torrentfreak%29″ target=”_blank”>how Scott reacted to the DVD of his film being ripped and place online</a>. First off, it should be noted that those who ripped it posted a nice ode to Scott with the rip, and urged folks to acquire the DVD, much noting that they purposely left off some of the extras to give human beings incentive.
<br /><br />
Scott saw it, thanked them for the “heartwarming” NFO file, and then <a href=”http://inventory.getlamp.com/2010/10/16/to-my-esteemed-colleages-at-flair/” target=”_blank”>scolded them for screwing up the rip</a>:
<blockquote><i>
I’ve just downloaded the torrent, and while the image quality and sound quality is brilliant, you’ve made a mistake.
<br /><br />
The DVD, as I’ve mentioned before, is interactive with a non-interactive version as well. To accomplish this and save hour on the DVD (since it’s packed with stuff), I have a locate of discrete tracks that are either summoned (via the interactive choice) or played as a playlist (via the non-interactive choice). Unintentionally (and I do really mean it, it was unintentional), this has made the movie a tad harder to rip, since the movie is in pieces scattered throughout the DVD, and not in any obvious sequential order.
<br /><br />
Playing the AVI that FLAiR has released shows that you have ripped only some of the tracks, and ripped one extra one that shouldn’t be in there.
</i></blockquote>
In the end, he notes: “While, again, I am pleased you wrote such kind things about me, this mixed-up version makes it gaze like I made a flawed DVD with doubled scenes, and takes away the entire puzzle sequence, which I am rather proud of.” The rippers quickly fixed it and posted a fixed version. Immediately, the movie is released under a Creative Commons Share-alike license, so Scott (not surprisingly) is perfectly willing to have the movie spread, however it’s still a nice tale of a filmmaker responding positively to human beings ripping his film and sharing it online.<br /><br /><a href=”http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20101020/04310711497/get-lamp-filmmaker-scolds-dvd-rippers-for-doing-a-terrible-job-with-the-rip.shtml”>Permalink</a> | <a href=”http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20101020/04310711497/get-lamp-filmmaker-scolds-dvd-rippers-for-doing-a-terrible-job-with-the-rip.shtml#comments”>Comments</a> | <a href=”http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20101020/04310711497/get-lamp-filmmaker-scolds-dvd-rippers-for-doing-a-terrible-job-with-the-rip.shtml?op=sharethis”>Email This Tale</a><br />
