01:14.960 --> 01:23.400
Hello everybody and welcome to Binary Revolution Radio episode number 152, coming to you on

01:23.400 --> 01:30.120
6-13-2006, see I always have a problem when I see a numeric date, 6-13, I have to actually

01:30.120 --> 01:33.980
count in my head, this is how messed up I am, I have to think January, February, March,

01:34.040 --> 01:42.980
April, May, June, June 13th, 2006, I am StankDog, back with you again this week, and we have

01:42.980 --> 01:45.660
a new first time co-host on the show this week.

01:46.220 --> 01:47.040
Hey guys.

01:47.040 --> 01:53.940
That people might know, yeah people will know the name from the forums of SEAL, but you

01:53.940 --> 01:57.480
also actually have, I know a lot of people don't realize this, but some of us have real

01:57.480 --> 01:57.940
names.

01:59.660 --> 02:03.580
Are we using a real name on the show, are we going to stick with just SEAL, or what did

02:03.580 --> 02:04.400
we decide on that?

02:05.120 --> 02:10.520
I think it was SEAL aka Julian, so whichever one we go by works by me.

02:10.520 --> 02:17.580
And of course, Julian aka SEAL of the new piracy documentary, On Piracy, actually what

02:17.580 --> 02:18.960
is the full official title?

02:19.920 --> 02:27.080
The title is On Piracy, On Piracy Radio and Walmarts, with a purposefully put, that's

02:27.080 --> 02:29.980
after Walmarts so I wouldn't be sued by Walmarts.

02:30.600 --> 02:34.160
Oh, interesting touch there, I don't know, hopefully that works.

02:34.800 --> 02:38.340
Probably not, you know, but just hopefully this stays under the radar.

02:38.340 --> 02:43.000
Right, right, and actually we're going to talk about that piracy documentary as today's

02:43.000 --> 02:47.700
main topic, but just for some of you who may have been away for a while and are coming

02:47.700 --> 02:52.140
back and just listening to 152, it's the first episode you've heard in a while, you might

02:52.140 --> 02:55.920
not realize that we have been doing a little bit of format change to the show.

02:56.380 --> 03:00.900
So the last few episodes we've been moving into a new format, like I said, where we're

03:00.900 --> 03:05.200
going straight into the main topic because we want to make sure that we get plenty of time

03:05.200 --> 03:08.300
to talk about the main topic, we don't want to get a cut off early, we want

03:08.300 --> 03:13.560
to make sure it gives it all the attention that it deserves, topic or topics, and today's

03:13.560 --> 03:17.900
main topic is, as I just said, the piracy documentary by our co-host Seal.

03:18.300 --> 03:25.460
So we're going to move right into that main topic, and as you just heard, there's the name

03:25.460 --> 03:31.520
of the documentary on piracy, which can be found at piracydocumentary.com, right?

03:32.400 --> 03:33.400
That's exactly right.

03:33.580 --> 03:35.780
Why .com?

03:35.780 --> 03:38.020
Why not .org or .net or whatever?

03:38.080 --> 03:39.900
Why did you choose .com, just out of curiosity?

03:40.740 --> 03:41.600
Oh, you know what?

03:41.740 --> 03:45.780
Just, you know, .com sounds all professional, and people think that, you know, if you're

03:45.780 --> 03:49.620
.net, then somehow your website is less professional somehow.

03:49.780 --> 03:52.480
It's all this psychological warfare thing I'm trying to do.

03:52.480 --> 03:57.180
Yeah, and you know, I find this question, see, we're already branching off onto another

03:57.180 --> 03:57.560
topic.

03:57.680 --> 03:58.660
I always have these tangents.

03:59.280 --> 04:02.100
One of the hardest things, I know it sounds silly, is choosing a good name.

04:02.160 --> 04:04.740
It's like, I'll sit there sometimes and think, what should we call this site?

04:04.800 --> 04:06.660
Should it be a .org or a .net?

04:07.940 --> 04:08.260
You know?

04:08.400 --> 04:08.680
Yeah, I know.

04:09.460 --> 04:10.340
How do you decide?

04:12.220 --> 04:13.020
Well, you know what?

04:13.100 --> 04:13.820
Here's an easy way.

04:13.900 --> 04:14.840
Go by the price.

04:15.080 --> 04:16.960
.coms are like $8 now.

04:17.500 --> 04:18.340
Can't go wrong.

04:18.340 --> 04:22.280
Ah, sorry, I was taking a little sip of iced tea there.

04:23.140 --> 04:28.040
And while I, you know, as long as I'm on the off-topic subject, I went to get my iced

04:28.040 --> 04:30.140
tea out of the refrigerator, and it's frozen.

04:30.260 --> 04:34.600
I guess my refrigerator's too cold, and it's a frozen block, so I have to kind of wait for

04:34.600 --> 04:36.340
it to melt while the show goes on.

04:37.040 --> 04:39.240
I guess I can set it on top of the monitor, it'll melt quicker.

04:40.160 --> 04:41.180
Of course, that's kind of dangerous.

04:41.180 --> 04:41.260
All that.

04:41.260 --> 04:48.420
If you hear a loud explosion, it's because my tea spilled into the monitor and blew it

04:48.420 --> 04:48.660
up.

04:50.180 --> 04:52.560
Anyway, all right, so let's stick to on-topic.

04:53.560 --> 04:58.240
First of all, this is not the first time that you've done some film work, is that correct?

04:59.100 --> 05:00.080
Yeah, that's right.

05:00.080 --> 05:04.960
I did, throughout high school, some videos, and then I did something which was called

05:04.960 --> 05:11.420
The Ento Show last year, which was a sort of computer basics educational film.

05:11.660 --> 05:14.100
You might, I think you said you saw a few clips of it?

05:14.460 --> 05:14.840
Oh, yeah.

05:14.940 --> 05:19.560
I remember you put it in the forum a while back, and I like, is this the one where you

05:19.560 --> 05:22.400
did it, where you had the split screen, where you were talking to yourself, and you're

05:22.400 --> 05:24.060
like, hi, Julian, hi, Julian, how are you?

05:24.120 --> 05:25.900
You're a handsome man, or whatever you were doing.

05:25.900 --> 05:31.720
Yeah, I was the laughing stock of my family for about three, four months after that.

05:31.780 --> 05:32.820
Yeah, but it was funny.

05:33.340 --> 05:34.080
It was funny.

05:34.160 --> 05:35.040
That was good stuff.

05:36.480 --> 05:36.880
Thanks.

05:37.160 --> 05:37.480
Yeah.

05:37.780 --> 05:42.420
So, like, are you into, so because of these two things together, I guess this is a natural

05:42.420 --> 05:47.440
question, is this a hobby, or are you actually studying film in school, or is this something

05:47.440 --> 05:48.720
that you're just doing for the fun of it?

05:49.800 --> 05:55.740
I'm actually a physical geography student here at the University of Ottawa, so I have

05:55.740 --> 06:01.460
no educational backdrop in film whatsoever, but it is becoming a hobby, and I foresee

06:01.460 --> 06:06.620
that as soon as I finish this movie here, because it's not done quite yet, that I'll

06:06.620 --> 06:09.360
do another movie on God knows what else.

06:10.100 --> 06:13.220
But, yeah, I think this is going to be a hobby for me from now on.

06:13.540 --> 06:17.320
So, when you say your next topic, do you have something in mind you're not telling us,

06:17.380 --> 06:18.500
or you haven't decided yet?

06:19.500 --> 06:21.880
I have, like, four movies on the back burner.

06:22.440 --> 06:25.020
I can never say this word right, back burner.

06:25.800 --> 06:31.100
But, yeah, you know, I really don't like thinking about a next project before one's done, or

06:31.100 --> 06:33.980
else I'll never get the one I'm working on done at all.

06:34.780 --> 06:39.180
But, sort of like hacking fiction movie, that would be fun.

06:39.260 --> 06:39.840
That'd be nice.

06:40.320 --> 06:41.480
I haven't seen one of those yet.

06:41.480 --> 06:45.820
Yeah, that would be, you know, we actually kind of talked about that, too, but, man,

06:45.880 --> 06:49.800
people don't realize how much work is involved in putting this stuff together, not just the

06:49.800 --> 06:51.940
filming, but especially a fiction.

06:52.100 --> 06:56.480
You've actually got to write a story, you've got to write dialogue, at least somewhat of

06:56.480 --> 06:59.480
a shell of dialogue or plot, you know what I mean?

07:00.200 --> 07:00.560
Yeah.

07:00.980 --> 07:05.200
Well, you do Hack TV and Hack TV Underground, so you know all about that, too.

07:05.220 --> 07:08.700
Oh, my gosh, you don't even, and I totally understand what you're saying about biting off

07:08.700 --> 07:12.640
too many projects at once, too, which is why we're trying to rein stuff in right now.

07:13.860 --> 07:15.580
But, that's neither here nor there.

07:15.760 --> 07:22.540
So, yeah, the video editing itself, I know, takes a long time, and there's a, and I think

07:22.540 --> 07:26.340
I've said this on the show before, there's a skill to it that I don't have.

07:27.060 --> 07:28.460
I'm not good at it.

07:28.460 --> 07:28.560
Oh, come on.

07:28.720 --> 07:31.240
No, I'm not, no, I mean, I'm just being honest, I'm not.

07:31.240 --> 07:35.320
That's why, you know, the first one was done by my friend Saito, who taught me what

07:35.320 --> 07:40.600
little bit I do know about it, and then Dr. Zygman, that's actually how he and I met,

07:40.640 --> 07:43.700
is that he knew a lot of the video editing, and he helped out on the other episodes of

07:43.700 --> 07:46.260
Hack TV, which is why they ended up so good.

07:46.900 --> 07:52.200
If I do them, I mean, I could get them done, but they really wouldn't be close to the quality

07:52.200 --> 07:54.580
that what we ended up putting out.

07:54.680 --> 07:57.100
I mean, he does a fantastic job mixing it together.

07:57.100 --> 08:01.440
We work together on the, you know, how it's going to flow and what we're going to include

08:01.440 --> 08:06.140
and not include the editing process, but he actually does the actually cutting, editing,

08:06.300 --> 08:09.280
producing of the thing, which is what I'm not, I'm not good at that.

08:09.380 --> 08:10.200
I'm not good at art.

08:10.620 --> 08:12.100
I swear to you, this is not a joke.

08:12.180 --> 08:13.440
I can't use Photoshop.

08:13.980 --> 08:14.860
I'm too dumb.

08:14.940 --> 08:16.120
I really can't.

08:16.560 --> 08:22.240
There's so many buttons and layers and all these different, it's too complex for my small

08:22.240 --> 08:23.260
American brain to handle.

08:23.800 --> 08:25.040
I really can't handle that.

08:25.040 --> 08:26.380
I think it was invented by Canadians.

08:26.880 --> 08:29.760
Oh, oh, he snuck in a Canadian joke.

08:29.860 --> 08:30.540
Look at that.

08:31.760 --> 08:32.500
Oh, no.

08:32.640 --> 08:34.060
No, I really am bad at graphics.

08:34.260 --> 08:37.560
I'm just, just a fact of life I have to deal with.

08:37.680 --> 08:39.780
I can't do design and graphic work.

08:40.560 --> 08:41.680
So, hey, what are you going to do?

08:42.460 --> 08:46.820
But, that's why I was curious if this was something that you were pursuing, because you

08:46.820 --> 08:48.020
do seem to have a skill at it.

08:48.040 --> 08:49.760
You were doing some clever video tricks.

08:50.280 --> 08:54.240
They were, you know, even the, I don't know if the proper word's cinematography.

08:54.240 --> 08:55.660
Talk about a hard word to say.

08:56.240 --> 08:59.860
The cinematography, some of the ways you were, you know, just silly things like where you set

08:59.860 --> 09:02.340
the cameras up in some of those interviews and shots like that.

09:02.820 --> 09:06.960
It really makes a difference whether the camera's across the room, whether it's at an angle.

09:07.700 --> 09:13.740
If you film somebody looking from above, looking down on them, versus looking up at them or

09:13.740 --> 09:17.220
from the side, it makes a different feel to the video.

09:17.320 --> 09:18.020
It really does.

09:18.020 --> 09:19.720
Yeah, you're right.

09:20.480 --> 09:26.240
And, yeah, I was going to say something and it totally escaped my mind, so I'll let you

09:26.240 --> 09:26.940
continue on there.

09:27.020 --> 09:30.960
Well, no, it's, I mean, it's just, there's a lot of little things like that that you can

09:30.960 --> 09:35.880
just set the camera up and film stuff, but it's an extra, you can see those extra touches

09:35.880 --> 09:41.980
and the decisions that you made in this particular documentary that actually make it good.

09:41.980 --> 09:47.240
And there's other, there's other shows and movies out there that aren't good and we won't

09:47.240 --> 09:50.140
go there, but I think you did a really good job on this one.

09:50.160 --> 09:51.840
So I'm actually looking forward to what you do next.

09:52.220 --> 09:52.920
But you know what?

09:52.940 --> 09:57.980
I'm going to kind of jump to another question here because when we say, you're saying jump

09:57.980 --> 10:02.480
to the next one and this one not being finished, did I see that this is technically the one

10:02.480 --> 10:05.360
that you do have on the website is version 0.8?

10:05.460 --> 10:06.960
I mean, is this not complete?

10:07.920 --> 10:09.000
That's exactly right.

10:09.000 --> 10:13.940
Um, the movie that I have right there is, uh, still under scrutiny and editing.

10:14.480 --> 10:21.160
Um, there's a last interview that I'm doing with a company that rhymes with, uh, oh, Microsoft.

10:21.980 --> 10:22.300
Oh.

10:22.300 --> 10:28.000
And, uh, yeah, so I'm trying to get them on there and to get the sort of pro DRM standpoint.

10:28.200 --> 10:32.500
So there's that interview I need to get in there and I also need to, uh, do lots of editing

10:32.500 --> 10:33.260
and cutting it down.

10:33.440 --> 10:37.940
Uh, there's a scene in there, I don't know if you remember, but that part where, uh, uh,

10:37.940 --> 10:41.220
the magnitude guy, uh, John Buckman is talking.

10:41.580 --> 10:41.900
Right.

10:42.060 --> 10:47.360
And what you see there is photos of him, photos after photos, because I really had no other

10:47.360 --> 10:47.760
footage.

10:47.940 --> 10:52.540
Well, one of my friends commented that that looks like I was doing like a sort of a homosexual

10:52.540 --> 10:54.880
homage to John Buckman.

10:55.160 --> 10:55.600
Okay.

10:55.600 --> 11:01.640
So, which was a very valid argument, but it does, you know, mean to say that there is

11:01.640 --> 11:03.940
some parts I really do have to work on.

11:04.940 --> 11:05.320
All right.

11:05.320 --> 11:09.720
So, so the one that's out there right now is not necessarily the final version.

11:10.100 --> 11:14.440
Um, obviously you'll keep us updated and we'll mention it on the show and I'm sure you'll

11:14.440 --> 11:16.440
let us know in the forums when you do get a final one out.

11:17.160 --> 11:17.960
Yeah, exactly.

11:18.080 --> 11:22.080
I mean, uh, maybe in a month from now, I just wanted to get something out.

11:22.080 --> 11:29.020
I, I was really strapped for cash and so I released 0.5 on Digg and that got me the donations

11:29.020 --> 11:32.320
I needed to sort of buy the music I needed to get on there.

11:33.100 --> 11:35.280
Well, actually that leads to another good question.

11:35.440 --> 11:38.940
You say that you needed money to get the music on there.

11:39.000 --> 11:42.800
I mean, did you actually have to buy rights or did you use, ironically, I mean, you mentioned

11:42.800 --> 11:43.460
Creative Commons.

11:43.600 --> 11:47.200
I was wondering about what, what, will you just tell me what, how did you handle music in

11:47.200 --> 11:48.520
the, in the, in the documentary?

11:48.520 --> 11:54.320
Well, here's the way I, I looked online at Creative Commons and, uh, one of the best

11:54.320 --> 11:58.600
resources for Creative Commons where you have direct access to the musicians, which is what

11:58.600 --> 12:00.020
I needed, is Magnatune.

12:00.860 --> 12:06.120
And initially I thought, okay, you know, it costs more if you want to use it for a movie.

12:06.700 --> 12:10.220
And initially it was like a hundred bucks and I'm like, okay, that's a shitload of money.

12:10.420 --> 12:14.660
I'm sort of, you know, my bank is going to send collectors after me in two months if I

12:14.660 --> 12:15.520
don't pay them back.

12:15.980 --> 12:18.660
So that was, you know, sort of expensive and whatever.

12:19.320 --> 12:23.380
And then I check up when towards the end of the production and they arise, the price is

12:23.380 --> 12:24.520
to about 500 bucks.

12:25.460 --> 12:25.860
Woo.

12:26.060 --> 12:27.020
So, yeah.

12:27.700 --> 12:28.020
Nice.

12:28.020 --> 12:30.080
So Creative Commons is not free.

12:31.020 --> 12:36.240
Um, because like as soon as you submit your movie to a festival, it is, that is considered,

12:36.460 --> 12:37.560
uh, commercial use.

12:38.380 --> 12:39.780
So there's all these things.

12:39.860 --> 12:44.480
So what I did is I went to royaltyfreemusic.com, which did remain at, you know, at the $100

12:44.480 --> 12:46.700
price level and bought a few of their CDs.

12:47.720 --> 12:50.980
And, you know, that was thanks to donations from very generous people.

12:51.580 --> 12:51.820
Hmm.

12:51.980 --> 12:52.320
All right.

12:52.340 --> 12:53.020
That's very interesting.

12:53.120 --> 12:54.080
I had no idea.

12:54.560 --> 12:58.000
It's, now this is because you submitted it to a film festival, you said, or?

12:58.560 --> 13:03.640
Well, because I wanted to keep my options open and I did not want to have to change the

13:03.640 --> 13:09.340
whole soundtrack on the pure virtue of me submitting to a film, you know, film festival.

13:09.540 --> 13:12.180
I didn't want to, that be a deterrent.

13:12.640 --> 13:14.380
So I just decided to go with that.

13:14.460 --> 13:18.240
And I also had public domain music, but, uh, that turned out interesting.

13:18.240 --> 13:22.160
Some of it wasn't actually under the public domain as I thought it was.

13:22.560 --> 13:24.340
And, uh, that led to interesting situations.

13:24.640 --> 13:27.840
Well, can I, are you, can you go into any detail about that or is that an off?

13:27.840 --> 13:28.440
Sure, no.

13:28.680 --> 13:28.780
I can't.

13:28.780 --> 13:33.280
Because I, I did notice that, that you mentioned that the closing song during the closing credits,

13:33.280 --> 13:33.780
is that right?

13:34.580 --> 13:35.180
Yeah, that's right.

13:35.300 --> 13:38.720
And, uh, the song was, uh, Ain't Misbehavin' by Louis Armstrong.

13:39.180 --> 13:42.000
And it was, uh, that recording came from 1929.

13:42.780 --> 13:46.040
And the guy who did it is dead and has been dead for 50 years.

13:46.120 --> 13:49.320
So the song itself is under, uh, is under public domain.

13:49.820 --> 13:56.940
But, um, the recording that was done because Louis Armstrong himself died 30 years ago is

13:56.940 --> 13:59.220
still not in the public domain yet.

13:59.220 --> 14:00.360
So there's 20 years to go.

14:00.360 --> 14:05.160
So I got a call one day when I was at work from, uh, the head of one of the agencies in

14:05.160 --> 14:10.220
Canada that's responsible for, uh, collecting, copy, or collecting fees off this.

14:10.760 --> 14:16.060
And he's basically like, yeah, I don't want to be the bad guy here, but, uh, your last song,

14:16.320 --> 14:17.480
yeah, it violates copyright.

14:18.780 --> 14:24.540
So after about, you know, walking in circles for, you know, 30 minutes and being super scared,

14:24.540 --> 14:30.080
you know, all those legal troubles that scare the living shit out of you, there's your R-rated

14:30.080 --> 14:31.040
warranted right there.

14:32.000 --> 14:35.860
And, um, yeah, so I, you know, got, took it all down and changed the music.

14:35.860 --> 14:40.260
And, and I'm sure that was a, that, that kind of phone call would freak me out a little

14:40.260 --> 14:40.520
bit.

14:40.520 --> 14:48.840
So, and ironically, yeah, ironically, the, um, the topic of the, the documentary, you know,

14:48.900 --> 14:52.200
mentioning the music and all that kind of stuff, it's like, yeah.

14:52.300 --> 14:57.400
So did he, did he stumble across it by accident or, I mean, how did he actually find out that

14:57.400 --> 15:01.880
one of his clients or, or whoever that he represented, how did they find out that you

15:01.880 --> 15:02.500
used their music?

15:02.500 --> 15:03.760
Like, how did they get back to him?

15:03.820 --> 15:04.180
Do you know?

15:04.860 --> 15:05.180
Yeah.

15:05.300 --> 15:08.840
Well, um, what I suspect happened because he had my phone number as well.

15:08.920 --> 15:11.300
My phone number is not exactly published all that well.

15:11.760 --> 15:16.700
Um, what I suspect is that I had given copies to all the people that were involved, all the

15:16.700 --> 15:17.480
interviewees.

15:17.900 --> 15:22.480
And one of the people I interviewed was a child organization, which works under this guy

15:22.480 --> 15:22.840
here.

15:23.220 --> 15:30.420
And I suspect that the president of that organization noticed that and, uh, gave the heads up and

15:30.420 --> 15:32.240
my contact information to this guy.

15:32.500 --> 15:34.460
Oh, man.

15:34.900 --> 15:38.140
This is one of these cases, this is a case where I'm biting my tongue right now.

15:38.200 --> 15:39.100
I want you to know this.

15:40.560 --> 15:42.280
Let me, let me say, let me say it.

15:42.880 --> 15:49.120
It's better to have that resolved now than find out later when, you know, there is commercial,

15:49.320 --> 15:54.000
possible commercial interest involved and better now than later.

15:54.000 --> 15:59.640
Yeah, but I'm just, well, I'm going to word this in a, I'm going to do a little social

15:59.640 --> 16:02.460
engineering trick and word this in such a way that it's not negative.

16:02.580 --> 16:09.800
I'm going to just say that it would have been cool if they would have said, hey, we know

16:09.800 --> 16:10.320
who you are.

16:10.320 --> 16:11.600
We know your documentary.

16:12.040 --> 16:14.600
We're giving you permission to use the song.

16:14.660 --> 16:16.660
That would have been cool if that would have happened.

16:16.800 --> 16:17.600
That's all I'm saying.

16:18.280 --> 16:18.980
Oh, absolutely.

16:19.740 --> 16:20.840
Instead of the threat.

16:21.220 --> 16:26.960
How ironic is it to send the copyright threat after you just interviewed somebody about copyright?

16:26.960 --> 16:27.540
Right, I mean.

16:28.460 --> 16:29.060
Yeah, I know.

16:29.220 --> 16:30.340
Yeah, help a brother out.

16:31.060 --> 16:31.400
Jeez.

16:32.400 --> 16:32.740
All right.

16:32.820 --> 16:35.660
Anyway, I won't go there because I don't want you to get any more phone calls from them.

16:37.060 --> 16:39.660
So, we will move on.

16:39.660 --> 16:46.340
Now, actually, we kind of went in this direction earlier about what your next films or, you know,

16:46.400 --> 16:46.940
what you decide.

16:47.000 --> 16:48.660
How did you actually decide to do this film?

16:49.420 --> 16:52.720
I mean, what about this topic made you decide to do it?

16:53.260 --> 16:55.320
I always wanted to do two films.

16:55.320 --> 16:59.920
One of them was I always wanted to do this film from the get-go last year.

17:00.860 --> 17:05.440
And so, even when I was doing ENTO, I knew that, you know, I was going to do this one

17:05.440 --> 17:05.780
after.

17:05.960 --> 17:09.740
So, I began this one, actually, in May of last year.

17:09.860 --> 17:12.180
And it's taken a year to complete.

17:13.080 --> 17:20.980
And the whole interview thing is actually because of Strom Carlson, who sort of really helped me

17:20.980 --> 17:23.080
sort of point me in the right direction for that.

17:23.080 --> 17:25.540
And little does he know, but he did.

17:25.840 --> 17:26.180
How so?

17:27.380 --> 17:31.080
Well, basically, I had worked for two months doing research on this.

17:31.320 --> 17:33.760
Or actually, four months, but two months writing the script.

17:34.400 --> 17:41.180
And the script was somewhat, I think how Strom put it was that it felt like he was bludgeoned

17:41.180 --> 17:46.880
on the head repeatedly, which was a very accurate depiction of the script.

17:46.880 --> 17:48.660
Because, trust me, it was pretty bad.

17:49.340 --> 17:53.840
And from that point on, I decided to do it, you know, 100% interview-based.

17:54.060 --> 17:55.000
It's worked out for the best.

17:55.120 --> 17:58.040
And I'm really grateful for Strom for having said that.

17:58.540 --> 18:02.260
Well, when you say script, now let's kind of clarify, because that's a little confusing.

18:02.400 --> 18:03.420
It's a documentary.

18:03.660 --> 18:04.820
Why is there a script?

18:04.960 --> 18:06.240
Or what is scripted?

18:06.240 --> 18:13.740
Because originally, the movie was going to be sort of an hour-long rant, as opposed to

18:13.740 --> 18:15.520
a fair and balanced documentary.

18:16.560 --> 18:17.160
That's why.

18:17.800 --> 18:18.540
All right.

18:18.660 --> 18:19.000
Gotcha.

18:19.160 --> 18:19.400
Gotcha.

18:19.860 --> 18:20.900
But there's still a script.

18:21.080 --> 18:25.320
I mean, you know, you have to have a basic idea of how to put these interviews together.

18:25.580 --> 18:29.380
And you have to have, you know, once you've collected, you know, all the footage, you have

18:29.380 --> 18:33.520
to have a rough idea of how to, you know, put it again together afterwards as well.

18:33.520 --> 18:35.860
So, there is still a script for this movie.

18:36.080 --> 18:37.020
Well, and you know what?

18:37.120 --> 18:42.100
I mean, it's very similar to the show novels that I'm so famous for, which you have.

18:42.960 --> 18:46.560
You know, you've actually, it's not necessarily a script, but yeah, you put together a list

18:46.560 --> 18:50.700
of topics or specific questions or something like that that you want to touch on or stuff

18:50.700 --> 18:51.480
you don't want to forget.

18:52.040 --> 18:53.660
So, it's not like it's scripted.

18:53.740 --> 18:57.040
So, let's not give anybody the impression that your documentary is scripted, but I'm sure

18:57.040 --> 19:00.700
you had a list of, a bullet point of, I want to ask this question.

19:00.780 --> 19:02.400
I want his opinion on that question.

19:02.400 --> 19:05.840
Or, how do you respond to this common allegation?

19:05.900 --> 19:09.840
Because that's another good thing is what you did is you did these, I'll refer to them

19:09.840 --> 19:11.760
as street interviews, for lack of a better word.

19:12.240 --> 19:15.860
And then you'll cut over and like the street interview with somebody will say, oh yeah,

19:15.980 --> 19:20.360
well, CDs cost too much and they only have one good song on and it's not worth it.

19:20.600 --> 19:26.140
And then we'll go over to the record exec trying to justify that question.

19:26.140 --> 19:34.040
But to be honest, like that, that was, thank God for Graham Henderson, who's the president

19:34.040 --> 19:38.660
of the CREA because he actually went out of, he's the one who sort of suggested some of

19:38.660 --> 19:41.180
these answers or these questions.

19:41.740 --> 19:45.260
And had he not done that, because I didn't even think about those street people interviews

19:45.260 --> 19:48.460
back then, had he not done that, I would have had nothing on him.

19:48.860 --> 19:51.580
So, you know, and he was a really cool guy, by the way.

19:51.720 --> 19:53.160
He's a, he's a really nice guy.

19:53.240 --> 19:57.300
I know everyone's going to grunt when they say this, when they hear me say this, but he's

19:57.300 --> 19:58.100
a really cool guy.

19:58.100 --> 20:01.340
Interesting, very interesting.

20:01.920 --> 20:08.000
I guess that's cool to hear, but I guess, well, people need to watch the documentary

20:08.000 --> 20:15.900
and then remember that you just said that, because that takes some, yeah, we'll leave

20:15.900 --> 20:16.320
it at that.

20:17.700 --> 20:22.840
So, what about now, another one of our good friends of the show, Jason Scott, also did

20:22.840 --> 20:27.740
a documentary not too long ago, about a year within the past year, his BBS documentary,

20:27.740 --> 20:32.020
which was also fantastic, and we, you know, supported and pimped it out.

20:32.420 --> 20:35.940
Did that have any effect, or had you already begun the process, or did that motivate you

20:35.940 --> 20:40.080
or have any effect to make you say, wow, he did one on BBS, I've always wanted to do

20:40.080 --> 20:40.940
one on piracy.

20:41.040 --> 20:43.620
Did it go like that, or did you already have the idea, or?

20:45.700 --> 20:47.460
Sort of, both of the above.

20:48.060 --> 20:53.060
Jason Scott did, you know, his BBS documentary is absolutely incredible, and I've watched it,

20:53.060 --> 20:54.640
you know, three times since I've bought it.

20:54.640 --> 20:59.800
And it certainly had an impact, I sort of mirrored my website on, you know, the format

20:59.800 --> 21:08.620
he did his, and I, the whole Creative Commons thing is pretty much an influence of his, the

21:08.620 --> 21:13.060
way he used interviews like that is an influence of his, so yeah, he's had a big impact, but

21:13.060 --> 21:16.660
had he not been there, I think I would have still done this movie nonetheless, and released

21:16.660 --> 21:17.800
it for free nonetheless.

21:17.800 --> 21:23.760
Yeah, and you know, again, the Creative Commons, we've used that from day one for everything

21:23.760 --> 21:28.160
that we do in DDP, the whole, all of Binary Revolution Radio, this episode, all the way

21:28.160 --> 21:33.040
back to episode one, Hack TV, everything else that we put out in digital format, our articles,

21:33.360 --> 21:36.520
whatever, is all released under Creative Commons.

21:36.700 --> 21:40.440
Now, actually, this, I'm glad, this is a good thing, I don't think we've gone into Creative

21:40.440 --> 21:45.600
Commons, we went into it a little bit on past shows, but people hear Creative Commons, and

21:45.600 --> 21:49.760
sometimes they hear, and this is not valid, but there's a lot of people simply hear,

21:50.200 --> 21:53.920
Creative Commons, oh, so it's free and public domain.

21:54.640 --> 21:57.180
That's not exactly what Creative Commons is.

21:57.320 --> 22:00.640
I could explain it a little bit, but why don't you go into it a little bit more?

22:01.380 --> 22:09.540
Sure, well, what Creative Commons is, is basically writing out the contract of the copyright license

22:09.540 --> 22:14.000
out so that people can understand it, and know what their rights are with copyrights.

22:14.000 --> 22:21.680
So, for example, if you release media, by default, it's under copyright, and by default, copyright

22:21.680 --> 22:25.400
means all rights reserved, which means that if someone else wants to make use of that work,

22:25.720 --> 22:31.180
let's say they want to make a remix of a CD, and they've got that CD, by default, they're

22:31.180 --> 22:34.100
not allowed to use that content and publish it publicly.

22:34.100 --> 22:40.280
Absolutely. What Creative Commons does is that it identifies what the person can do or say.

22:40.440 --> 22:46.700
So, it's not public domain. It can be, because you can say, you know, oh, I want my stuff released

22:46.700 --> 22:52.320
entirely for free, but what it really is, is just saying what exactly you can do with the

22:52.320 --> 22:56.700
product. So, it can be really restrictive as well. It doesn't have to be completely open,

22:56.700 --> 23:01.520
but it's just making it clear to people for people to understand, and I find that's fantastic.

23:01.780 --> 23:07.140
Yes, I agree completely, and I do know that people have that misconception, so that was a great

23:07.140 --> 23:11.920
explanation. Now, our particular one, again, that we use for the show and Hack TV and such,

23:12.340 --> 23:18.060
is one that says you can do whatever you want with this as long as you don't, A, sell it and make

23:18.060 --> 23:23.760
money off of it, because we don't, you know, so we don't want anybody else doing it, and secondly,

23:23.760 --> 23:29.560
that they simply don't strip the names and credits off, but they're freely, can distribute it, they

23:29.560 --> 23:33.160
can put it on their own website, they can burn it to CD and hand it out, all that kind of good

23:33.160 --> 23:39.980
stuff. So, basically, defines, instead of saying, I reserve all rights, I get the decision of every

23:39.980 --> 23:45.100
single thing that somebody wants to do, I have the control, and it breaks it down and says, I'm going

23:45.100 --> 23:50.020
to go ahead and tell you up front that I'm giving you these controls back. That's what our Creative

23:50.020 --> 23:53.660
Commons says. You can do this with our stuff. We only reserve a little bit of

23:53.660 --> 23:57.140
control that says, don't sell it and make money off it. That's really the biggest part

23:57.140 --> 24:02.380
of it for us. But there are others that will further break it down that says that, no,

24:02.480 --> 24:07.740
you cannot, or I'm sorry, that you can, in fact, sell it and make money. There are some

24:07.740 --> 24:11.760
that say that you can alter and transfer and build upon this work, which is, I think, more

24:11.760 --> 24:15.800
along the lines of what Jason Scott did. I don't want to talk for him or put his Creative

24:15.800 --> 24:19.780
Commons out there, but I'm pretty sure what he's done is he put up all the individual

24:19.780 --> 24:26.260
interviews as well. And again, I'll correct myself next week, Jason Scott, if you email

24:26.260 --> 24:30.680
me if I say something wrong here, but I think by putting up all those individual things,

24:30.780 --> 24:35.040
sure, he made a documentary with all of them, putting them together in his format, but let's

24:35.040 --> 24:39.760
say, well, let's use yours for an example. You could have, if you wanted to, if there was

24:39.760 --> 24:44.480
an interview from his that was useful, you could have used that and put it into your documentary.

24:44.480 --> 24:50.680
Actually, I might have to check up on that. The reason I say that, and I don't mean to

24:50.680 --> 24:56.940
like go counter to what you just said, but Creative Commons, if he chose a share alike

24:56.940 --> 25:06.460
license, because my license is actually quite restrictive, I'm not allowing people to take

25:06.460 --> 25:11.020
footage of mine and edit it for a pure reason that I'm afraid of being sued by as someone who's

25:11.020 --> 25:17.280
pissed off of seeing his interview footage and big smiley face on it. Right. And so if

25:17.280 --> 25:22.560
it's share alike, then I'd have to have the same license as him. Right. Oh, okay. No,

25:22.600 --> 25:26.880
I understand. So it is true that he may make it, but that doesn't necessarily mean you can

25:26.880 --> 25:32.620
use, you can't change it from what he had to do. If you use his, you have to maintain his

25:32.620 --> 25:37.780
license. But nonetheless, I mean, like, yeah, what he did on archive.org by releasing those

25:37.780 --> 25:42.580
interviews is fantastic. Right. That's just, that's insane. Right. No, I understand completely.

25:42.720 --> 25:48.660
I mean, our reason for saying not to alter is simply because we know damn good and well

25:48.660 --> 25:52.640
people will strip off the names and put their name on it and put it out there somewhere.

25:52.940 --> 25:58.840
So there's lots of reasons to make your decision of which Creative Commons license you use, and

25:58.840 --> 26:02.720
they're all perfectly valid. But that's the great thing about it is that you do have that

26:02.720 --> 26:07.100
control. And it's all free, and there's great people out there to help you out of shit.

26:07.100 --> 26:11.320
If you need help on forums and so forth. Yeah. And I think that was one of the, at least

26:11.320 --> 26:14.780
in my opinion, that was one of my favorite interviews from the documentary was with the

26:14.780 --> 26:18.900
Creative Commons guy. I hate to say, I should be more professional. If this was a real radio

26:18.900 --> 26:22.000
show, I'd actually say his name, but I'm sure you'll tell us.

26:22.680 --> 26:27.600
Yeah. Marcus Bornford. There you go. So see, that's where, that's for having a good co-host

26:27.600 --> 26:31.600
on here because he knows what he's talking about. And I just limped my way through the show.

26:31.860 --> 26:35.520
So, but that was one of my favorite interviews on there. Seriously, that was one of the best

26:35.520 --> 26:38.040
ones, I thought. And it was, he gave a good, clear explanation.

26:39.080 --> 26:44.340
Yeah. He's a fantastic guy. I had, there was a huge conference in Ottawa on the subject of

26:44.340 --> 26:49.100
internet piracy last year. And that's where I got his contact info and I had a discussion

26:49.100 --> 26:54.840
with him. And he's, yeah, he's a very bright individual. He knows what he's saying. But

26:54.840 --> 26:59.400
it sometimes can be a little long saying it, so there's actually lots of heavy editing for

26:59.400 --> 27:05.620
his interview. Right. Yeah. Yeah. That's, goes back to the time, editing time necessary.

27:06.060 --> 27:10.980
So, um, now did I, I don't want to throw this out there. I guess we can edit this out if

27:10.980 --> 27:15.200
need be, but did I hear you mention something about presenting somewhere with Jason Scott?

27:16.020 --> 27:21.420
That's right. I'll get, uh, the Hackers on Planet Earth conference in July, this coming

27:21.420 --> 27:27.800
July. And we're doing a talk on, uh, oh, I forgot what the title of the talk is now. We

27:27.800 --> 27:32.580
had set a decent one out, but it's on how to make documentaries pretty much. And how to

27:32.580 --> 27:37.540
get, you know, these contacts, these big people or people you think that are big and getting

27:37.540 --> 27:42.680
them to be filmed. And there's lots of social engineering involved in some cases. There's

27:42.680 --> 27:46.240
lots of honesty in other cases, but that's basically what we'd be talking about.

27:46.700 --> 27:50.440
Well, not to steal any thunder from that, but I was kind of wondering, how did you get

27:50.440 --> 27:54.460
these people to participate? You know, I mean, they're taking time out of their schedule

27:54.460 --> 27:59.900
for some, no insult, but some schmuck kid that they don't know. It's like, why should

27:59.900 --> 28:01.920
they get, you know, how did you, how did you get their time?

28:03.100 --> 28:08.940
Social engineering all the way. Um, here's the deal, right? I am in Ottawa, 500 kilometers

28:08.940 --> 28:13.540
away from 90% of these people. So they don't know what I look like yet. If they saw what I

28:13.540 --> 28:17.640
looked like, you know, punk-ass 20-year-old, I bet you I wouldn't have, you know, they wouldn't

28:17.640 --> 28:23.060
have even considered it. But yeah, I've got the advantage of the phone. And so I can make

28:23.060 --> 28:27.340
myself sound bigger than I am. And with emails, you can, if you word them correctly, and if

28:27.340 --> 28:32.780
you're, um, if you write intelligently, you know, you don't use any tech speak or you don't

28:32.780 --> 28:40.360
use UR and with a U and an R instead of your, um, you can give a very good impression. You know,

28:40.460 --> 28:46.280
it, it becomes interesting once they finally do see you. And then they're like, where's the rest

28:46.280 --> 28:55.300
of your crew? Or they give you, you know, the, uh, oh, it's, um, you. So it, yeah, but you know,

28:55.300 --> 29:02.140
I got all the interviews nonetheless. And, uh, some people, uh, wanted to stay in chat and, um,

29:03.440 --> 29:07.920
it, it was a good experience. It was a really, really good experience. And these people, Karen,

29:08.020 --> 29:12.000
they all treated me with respect when I, once I got there, it was fantastic.

29:12.460 --> 29:18.000
Well, did you, were there any people that did not or refused interviews or gave you any trouble or,

29:18.100 --> 29:20.860
or revoked their interviews or anything like that happen?

29:20.860 --> 29:27.640
Oh yeah. Tons. Um, there's about 24 interviews and I've had about, I've tried contacting maybe 70

29:27.640 --> 29:34.380
people. Wow. Um, yeah, it's, uh, Apple turned it down, but, uh, they were nice about it. I think

29:34.380 --> 29:41.360
the least, the people that were sort of the least pleasant to deal with were, uh, the CN Tower and

29:41.360 --> 29:47.140
I'll make sure not to, uh, to word this properly. So you're not sued for LaBelle, but, uh, basically what

29:47.140 --> 29:52.780
happened was I was in Toronto and I wanted some stock photography to sort of spice the, uh, footage

29:52.780 --> 30:00.080
in the documentary. So I decided to get the skyline of, uh, Toronto. And so I went up into the CN Tower

30:00.080 --> 30:05.280
and because I'm in a private residence, I have to get forms and I filled all those out and I dealt

30:05.280 --> 30:12.360
with the VP of communications there. And, uh, so I got the footage and that was that. About a week

30:12.360 --> 30:18.980
later, I got a really nasty email from them, uh, basically saying, you know, oh, we helped you so

30:18.980 --> 30:26.200
graciously and full of, um, anyways, not a very nice email, but basically turning down, sorry, refusing

30:26.200 --> 30:33.200
me or denying me the ability to use the footage I had shot a week before, which I found was really

30:33.200 --> 30:41.280
not cool. Yeah, that kind of sucks. Yeah, it does. It's bureaucracy. And, you know, I suppose it's not

30:41.280 --> 30:47.020
their fault ultimately, but it was, you know, that was a downer. Well, luckily, I guess if we

30:47.020 --> 30:51.420
want to look on the bright side, luckily they told you early enough, early on enough. It's not like

30:51.420 --> 30:55.640
they, if they were telling you now that would really suck because you've already done so much

30:55.640 --> 31:01.460
editing and stuff. Yeah. So I guess if you want to look. A lot of people were fantastic too. I mean,

31:01.460 --> 31:07.040
I contacted all the major labels and, uh, so they're the ones that ultimately got me the interview with

31:07.040 --> 31:13.400
Korea and, uh, I contacted likewise movie studios and they're the ones that got me the, uh, MPAAs

31:13.400 --> 31:20.240
arm in Canada. And I even contacted the RAAA and, uh, you know, got in contact with the people there.

31:20.240 --> 31:26.640
So, uh, although some, you know, there was one or two not so nice experience overall, you know,

31:26.640 --> 31:31.880
all these people were incredibly, uh, nice to deal with. And especially so where was people like

31:31.880 --> 31:37.120
Marcus Bornford and Michael Geist. They were really just fantastic, uh, interviewees and

31:37.120 --> 31:45.420
people to organize interviews with. Well, and my favorite on there, I have to say, and maybe it's

31:45.420 --> 31:51.200
just because I've always liked Sim, was Samarian from Rant Radio. There's a very good section with

31:51.200 --> 31:56.600
him. He's, first of all, he's always been the nicest guy and what limited interaction I've had

31:56.600 --> 32:00.580
with him on Rant Radio. Because for those who don't remember, I mean, first of all, a lot of

32:00.580 --> 32:04.740
people are listening to us on Rant Radio right now. But a lot of people don't remember, we've

32:04.740 --> 32:09.940
been on Rant Radio from day one of BinRev Radio. And even back into the old RFA, Radio Freak

32:09.940 --> 32:14.640
America was on there as well. So we've been, we've known Sim for a long, long time. And

32:14.640 --> 32:20.680
he's a really great guy. He's a really smart guy. And he's one of those people that, you

32:20.680 --> 32:26.020
know, somebody you can tell when somebody is, I guess, passionate for lack of a better word

32:26.020 --> 32:31.340
about something. They believe, they really believe in what they're saying. And he is

32:31.340 --> 32:37.220
that guy. And your interview with that, he, he has, you know, he, he really gets the point

32:37.220 --> 32:41.260
across and he makes some very valid points. And he does it in such a way where it's not

32:41.260 --> 32:45.680
condescending. It's not talking down. It's not insulting. It's not ranting, ironically,

32:45.840 --> 32:50.100
for Rant Radio, for Rant Media. And we remember when it was Rant Radio. And that's Rant Media,

32:50.100 --> 32:55.000
which is cooler. So he's always been consistently like that. And I've always liked that about

32:55.000 --> 33:01.560
him. So kind of a mid-show shout outs to Samarian from me there. He was really, really good on

33:01.560 --> 33:05.840
there. It's probably my favorite part of it as well. So...

33:05.840 --> 33:07.480
And I'd like to... Oh, sorry, go ahead.

33:07.560 --> 33:08.220
No, I was done.

33:09.020 --> 33:12.840
I was going to say, I'd like to give him a shout out to him as well. He did something really

33:12.840 --> 33:18.100
nice for me. Because he lives in Vancouver. So he lives about 2,000, you know, gazillion

33:18.100 --> 33:24.920
miles away from me. And what he offered to do is, when I contacted him, he offered to

33:24.920 --> 33:30.600
shoot all the footage by himself and mail the DVD tape over to me so that I could include

33:30.600 --> 33:37.220
it in the documentary. And he did this, you know, all pretty much free of charge. So that

33:37.220 --> 33:41.420
was absolutely fantastic on his part. And I'd like to, you know, give a shout out for him.

33:41.480 --> 33:46.700
I know I keep saying how everyone's cool and all that, but it's true. And big shout out

33:46.700 --> 33:48.200
to him.

33:48.200 --> 33:52.580
Yeah, he... I mean, that just shows how sincere of a person he is that he'd be willing to

33:52.580 --> 34:00.560
do that. That's really, really cool of him. Absolutely cool. So... And actually, let's

34:00.560 --> 34:05.260
talk about his segment specifically, if we can. I mean, what he talked about, which hit

34:05.260 --> 34:12.520
very close to home for me, for obvious reasons, with DDP Hack Radio, was discussion on how some

34:12.520 --> 34:18.380
of these laws affect non-profit or hobby radio stations, which is exactly what we fall into,

34:18.480 --> 34:23.220
what Rant Media falls into. You know, stations that are just playing... You know, he explained

34:23.220 --> 34:28.300
that he just wanted to play music that he liked and couldn't find on normal radio. And that's

34:28.300 --> 34:33.780
really how they got started. You know, and Rant Radio has great industrial music and stuff

34:33.780 --> 34:37.520
like that. That's one of the things he started it on. And then the talk radio that came out

34:37.520 --> 34:42.240
of it was also fantastic, obviously. But it was just a hobby. There's no money. It was

34:42.240 --> 34:47.240
no profit. It was just because it was a hole. It was something that was missing, a gap of

34:47.240 --> 34:51.540
something that was missing out there that he decided to fill. And he went into some detail

34:51.540 --> 34:58.300
about how, with these new laws that are being passed, it takes away that ability because they

34:58.300 --> 35:04.380
want so much money. You know, not even on a per license, there's a minimum. And maybe you

35:04.380 --> 35:08.240
can... I don't want to, like, repeat his whole segment or anything like that on here, but

35:08.240 --> 35:10.940
he basically talked about how difficult it was.

35:11.840 --> 35:18.020
Yeah. And it's really unfortunate. I mean, in the United States, where you are, when there

35:18.020 --> 35:23.080
was a sort of similar law that was passed on royalties, which was insanely expensive.

35:23.440 --> 35:23.800
Right.

35:23.860 --> 35:29.880
And they say that basically, as soon as that sort of law passed, or act passed, pretty much

35:29.880 --> 35:36.560
99% of internet radio stations were pretty much wiped out. And only the ones that were

35:36.560 --> 35:42.700
heavy on commercials, the big sort of corporate ones that had lots of backing, like Live 365,

35:43.320 --> 35:47.780
were the ones that really remained legal and on top. And it's unfortunate.

35:48.920 --> 35:53.560
And, of course, the bootleg ones that are operating illegally, which is always going to happen.

35:53.560 --> 35:58.700
So that's the other funny thing. You know, now, it's funny that back in the days, it was

35:58.700 --> 36:03.680
pirate radio. You know, people that are trying to escape and fight the FCC. Now, here we are.

36:04.140 --> 36:07.600
We thought we'd kind of set that free with the internet, that I can come out here and I can

36:07.600 --> 36:11.980
say what I want. I can say, fuckity, fuck, fuck, fuck, and get away with it and say what

36:11.980 --> 36:17.640
I want, about what I want, about who I want on here. And now here we are finding ourselves

36:17.640 --> 36:22.140
in a position where they're stopping us from even doing that or trying to, which is why it's

36:22.140 --> 36:25.460
such an important point. And it's such an important thing to get out there and let people

36:25.460 --> 36:31.780
know. They're trying to silence us by strong-arming us financially. And it's the same thing.

36:33.480 --> 36:37.600
And it's really sad because, I mean, there's all these great, you know, music tracks out

36:37.600 --> 36:42.200
there. And if you listen to real radio, and that's one of the big reasons I wanted to do

36:42.200 --> 36:47.280
this doc was because of how upset I was with commercial radio. If you listen to commercial

36:47.280 --> 36:54.060
radio, it's absolutely mind-numbing how small their playlist is. And really, internet radio

36:54.060 --> 36:58.580
is the only way because satellite radio, you know, okay, let's say Sirius or XM, they have

36:58.580 --> 37:04.600
100 channels, which ain't half bad, although a lot of it is pretty much mainstream. But internet

37:04.600 --> 37:10.080
radio is really the only place to go if you want to listen to fresh, new, creative music.

37:10.080 --> 37:15.920
And by having, you know, such high C's like that, it's really going to kill legitimate

37:15.920 --> 37:21.120
ways of listening to new music, which we really need. Music is such a, you know, an integral

37:21.120 --> 37:25.480
part to our culture. So, yeah, that's my rant for the day.

37:25.920 --> 37:28.580
Yeah, well, it can't be a rant unless you throw a fuck in there somewhere.

37:29.260 --> 37:32.740
Okay. Fuck, fuck, fuck. There you go.

37:32.740 --> 37:40.580
There you go. Oh, I'm such a foul-mouthed person. Yeah. Well, you know what? And that

37:40.580 --> 37:44.700
kind of, that's something else that I noticed in the documentary quite a bit was I heard

37:44.700 --> 37:48.640
the phrase indie music quite a bit, which is exactly what you're talking about. It's

37:48.640 --> 37:53.360
not, the reason they call these states, they have such a limited playlist, the industry term

37:53.360 --> 37:59.220
is top 40 station because they play the same 40 freaking tracks over and over again. That's

37:59.220 --> 38:03.780
what they do. That is their playlist. We are a top 40 station. We say, play the same

38:03.780 --> 38:06.060
shit 40 times over every day.

38:07.020 --> 38:13.120
I know. It's, yeah, it's, I used to work at Staples. I used to put this music on. I literally

38:13.120 --> 38:18.440
drove nuts. It turned out I had to hijack the sound system at one point to play my own music

38:18.440 --> 38:24.000
just because I was going, I was literally, this, you know, millimeters close to killing

38:24.000 --> 38:29.160
an innocent customer. Bad music, man. It's really, it's insane.

38:29.220 --> 38:33.740
Yet, yet, yet, you and I were talking before the show and you'd go home from work every

38:33.740 --> 38:37.560
night and watch Canadian Idol on television. So, what's up with that?

38:39.160 --> 38:41.800
All right, I lied. I made, I completely made that up.

38:44.320 --> 38:47.900
Just for the record, I completely made that up. I didn't, I put Seal on the spot there.

38:47.940 --> 38:51.780
He doesn't listen. I don't know if you watch Canadian Idol. Everybody knows my American Idol

38:51.780 --> 38:56.740
obsession. But I just like it because I like seeing the people sing. It's not so much the

38:56.740 --> 39:01.880
music. It's just more like, I don't know. I'm just a sucker for anything that's positive

39:01.880 --> 39:06.220
on television these days because there's so little of it. So, anything that people are

39:06.220 --> 39:11.260
enjoying and getting ahead and, you know, somebody's winning and you go, I guess I like that kind

39:11.260 --> 39:17.280
of stuff on TV as opposed to, oh, I don't know, the fucking news! I hate watching news.

39:17.280 --> 39:22.600
You have a system of honor there. You watch it for the best. The only reason I watch Canadian

39:22.600 --> 39:27.680
Idol whenever I do or the dance shows they have is to watch the worst because I enjoy,

39:28.080 --> 39:32.260
I know I'm terrible, I'm worse than anyone there, but I enjoy making fun of the poor

39:32.260 --> 39:34.620
bastards that just suck ass.

39:34.620 --> 39:38.180
That is definitely the best part of it. No doubt that is the best part. Especially,

39:38.320 --> 39:43.600
I've been watching this dancing one lately, which, oh man, dude went flat down on his

39:43.600 --> 39:49.040
face and like knocked a couple teeth out or some shit like that. But anyway, I digress.

39:49.300 --> 39:52.720
Actually, Decoder and I have always said that we were going to go try out for American Idol

39:52.720 --> 39:58.780
just to get on like the worst ones just to purposely mess with them, but yeah, never going

39:58.780 --> 39:58.920
to happen.

39:58.920 --> 40:01.620
Hey, it'd be hacking American Idol.

40:01.620 --> 40:06.120
Hey, social engineer my way out there? Sure, I can make it happen. I've got to make sure

40:06.120 --> 40:11.680
I wear a BinRev shirt when I do it, though, get some publicity. Now, do you think there's

40:11.680 --> 40:18.320
any difference in the U.S. versus Canada? Because that's obviously a, what's the word?

40:18.400 --> 40:23.100
There's actually, it's very Canada-centric, if that's such a word, for obvious reasons.

40:23.500 --> 40:28.980
But did you notice many, in the film there are references to U.S. laws, but most of it does

40:28.980 --> 40:34.400
refer to, I don't know what the terms are, like different tariffs and different Canadian

40:34.400 --> 40:37.720
laws and stuff like that. Did you find a lot of differences between the two?

40:38.880 --> 40:45.520
To be honest, Canada is basically what the U.S. was 10 years ago. And so that's how, we're

40:45.520 --> 40:52.340
very similar to the U.S. And like, but, you know, the way that politicians think is pretty

40:52.340 --> 40:56.840
much the same. So there's lots of similarities. There's some, there are some differences,

40:57.000 --> 41:02.800
though. Downloading music in Canada is legal, thanks to a loophole, or what I consider to

41:02.800 --> 41:09.680
be a loophole in the, in, oh, I forget now, but basically the part of the Copyright Act

41:09.680 --> 41:16.280
in Canada that dictates terrorists, which isn't the case in the United States. But downloading

41:16.280 --> 41:22.240
movies and software in Canada is nonetheless illegal. We don't have the DMCA yet. You

41:22.240 --> 41:26.600
know, we haven't ratified the WIPO treaties. The WIPO treaties is, by the way, what the

41:26.600 --> 41:33.060
DMCA is to some extent. And, but we're basically where the United States was 10 years ago. And

41:33.060 --> 41:38.800
that's the reason I made this movie is because I do not want to see a law, like, there are

41:38.800 --> 41:43.740
some good ideas in the WIPO treaties, but I don't want to see basically, you know, it being

41:43.740 --> 41:49.360
illegal for someone, for me to watch a DVD on my Linux box, you know, or this whole reverse

41:49.360 --> 41:53.700
engineering being illegal when it's for a good purpose is for legitimate purposes, you

41:53.700 --> 41:59.100
know, driver supported Linux. You can't do that without reverse engineering. So it's, it's

41:59.100 --> 42:05.340
basically, there are differences and I'm completely marring the point and I'm just talking on and

42:05.340 --> 42:08.560
on, so I'll stop here, but yeah, there's some small differences here and there.

42:08.680 --> 42:12.820
Well, do you find, do you find, and I, this isn't, we're not, this isn't political.

42:12.820 --> 42:17.780
Well, this is a curiosity question. Do you find that Canadian policy is driven much by

42:17.780 --> 42:22.620
American policy? If we may, if, for example, us pushing the DMCA, do you think that also

42:22.620 --> 42:25.160
puts more pressure that you guys now have to follow suit?

42:25.960 --> 42:31.380
Yeah. It's been said in the U.S. by, I forgot what politicians, that basically Canada was a

42:31.380 --> 42:39.100
sort of cesspool for piracy. And, yeah. And, but I mean, there is pressure. The United States

42:39.100 --> 42:44.900
is applying, is sort of holding back relationships with other countries until they ratify themselves.

42:45.060 --> 42:49.060
The WIPO treaties are an implementation that's there. And there is pressure from the United

42:49.060 --> 42:54.340
States. Fortunately, though, Canada is somewhat of, and I don't mean to, you know, shat the

42:54.340 --> 43:00.060
United States in any way, but Canadian politicians tend to be more moderate on to the issue of

43:00.060 --> 43:07.280
piracy. And they, they tend to be less influenced by the $300,000 that are donated to them by

43:07.280 --> 43:13.460
the, you know, big four entertainment companies. Um, like, um, here's one fact, like when I did

43:13.460 --> 43:19.400
my initial research, for example, um, in Canada, right, the most that a politician can be given

43:19.400 --> 43:24.720
by a citizen is a thousand bucks for, uh, for his campaign. By a corporation, it used

43:24.720 --> 43:28.200
to be a thousand bucks, but now it's been, uh, I've, last I've heard, it's been reduced

43:28.200 --> 43:33.200
to zero. Corporates aren't allowed to donate. In the United States, uh, before they passed

43:33.200 --> 43:38.800
amendments to that, in the 2000 elections, Warren Hash, who's the guy in charge of copyright

43:38.800 --> 43:44.840
reform, so the guy who's dictating what the law is going to look like, he was paid $300,000

43:44.840 --> 43:51.120
by the big four entertainment companies in the United States and members of the RIAA and MPAA.

43:51.860 --> 43:56.000
And these just influence your judgment, you know, no matter where you stand, there's no way that

43:56.000 --> 44:01.500
300 grants cannot influence your decision-making. So in Canada, we're fortunate that we don't have

44:01.500 --> 44:06.880
that. And, you know, future elections in the US should be easier because that was torn down a lot.

44:06.960 --> 44:12.100
I think it's been reduced to a thousand bucks there, but yeah. Well, but then there's the under

44:12.100 --> 44:18.800
the table stuff that goes on as well. And, you know, and, and again, you know, that is

44:18.800 --> 44:23.160
the biggest corruption, the biggest problem with our government. I'm not afraid to say

44:23.160 --> 44:27.960
that. Our country is, I'm very proud of the United States in a lot of things, but we have

44:27.960 --> 44:32.580
come so corrupt in Congress with these big interests, special interest groups and these

44:32.580 --> 44:38.620
big companies throwing money either in our faces like we're stupid or under the table

44:38.620 --> 44:43.220
also like we're stupid, like we don't know that's happening. And the, the, the other,

44:43.320 --> 44:47.320
the other part of that that's really, people might not realize is a lot of people know that

44:47.320 --> 44:51.400
and unfortunately say, yeah, well, that's just, you know, they ever heard the phrase

44:51.400 --> 44:55.400
politics as usual, you know, they just kind of like, yeah, well, that's the way the system

44:55.400 --> 45:01.140
is. Well, I'm not so happy to just smile and let that go. I don't mind coming out and

45:01.140 --> 45:06.860
saying it. And now I think it's even getting further because, all right, fine. The big four,

45:06.860 --> 45:11.280
we'll use them for an example. I'll make up that example just to go with it. They give

45:11.280 --> 45:17.740
so-and-so so much money to try to push their agenda into United States law and into, you

45:17.740 --> 45:24.100
know, making new laws and into our new, oh crap, what's the word? Well, into our new

45:24.100 --> 45:29.700
laws for, I can't think of the word, which is one thing, which is fine. It's corrupt here.

45:29.780 --> 45:33.960
It causes us problems. It ends up giving, you know, I've said this before on the show.

45:33.960 --> 45:38.040
We are no longer a government of the people, by the people, for the people. We're a government

45:38.040 --> 45:43.800
of the corporation, by the corporation, for the corporations. And that's a problem. And

45:43.800 --> 45:51.520
it's now getting amplified because the United States, as a world leader, now we're going

45:51.520 --> 45:56.460
to strong arm other countries, including Canada or whatever else, that we're not going to do

45:56.460 --> 46:01.620
business with you or we're not going to cooperate until you also do this. So now these bribes

46:01.620 --> 46:08.460
that are going through are forcing world policy? Hello? What the fuck? Am I, what? All right.

46:08.500 --> 46:11.640
I'm going to back off because we're going political and we don't still, that's one thing I don't

46:11.640 --> 46:15.600
want to change about the show. I like to stay off of that if we can. So I'm going to back

46:15.600 --> 46:23.140
away, take a deep breath and switch gears real quick. You actually kind of said a minute

46:23.140 --> 46:28.000
ago you were, when you were doing your research, did you, I think it'd be naive to say you didn't

46:28.000 --> 46:33.300
have a predisposition, an idea in your mind and opinions before you started filming this.

46:33.380 --> 46:37.900
Did you find any, did you change very much? Did you have your eyes opened or realize any

46:37.900 --> 46:40.500
things that you were surprised at yourself for?

46:41.620 --> 46:49.420
Yes, I certainly did. Before the documentary, I was very sort of on a neutral standpoint towards

46:49.420 --> 46:56.660
the issue. And actually, no, that's wrong. I was more of a pro user sort of guy. And my

46:56.660 --> 47:02.000
belief before I made this documentary was that most of the piracy that was going on was being

47:02.000 --> 47:06.960
done by people who had, who were interested in buying the music. If it was good, you know,

47:06.960 --> 47:08.640
it was a sort of taste testing thing.

47:08.720 --> 47:09.060
Right.

47:09.780 --> 47:14.960
When I started interviewing people and okay, again, your users or your listeners are going

47:14.960 --> 47:19.960
to grunt at this. When I started interviewing people, what I found out was actually most

47:19.960 --> 47:24.520
people didn't care about the artist. Some did, you know, a lot, you know, actually some,

47:24.600 --> 47:29.220
a lot of people did, but a lot of more people didn't. And that was sort of an eye opener for

47:29.220 --> 47:33.760
me. And that really, that almost made me want to stop the movie right now because I was really

47:33.760 --> 47:38.880
discouraged because originally when I decided to do this movie is sort of to highlight this

47:38.880 --> 47:44.940
opinion of sort of the Linux kind of guy who's informed and who this flash dot sort of

47:44.940 --> 47:49.980
mentality of the informed guy who does things ethically and who might download music, but

47:49.980 --> 47:55.240
ultimately pays a lot to the artist and, you know, with due funds. And that wasn't what

47:55.240 --> 48:02.380
I saw. So that's one way my opinion changed. Another way is sort of, I became, I realized

48:02.380 --> 48:11.860
how sort of, I keep saying sort of, but I realized how more complex this issue is. I used to have

48:11.860 --> 48:15.820
a very black and white perspective. I used to think it was the industries versus the

48:15.820 --> 48:21.660
people. And I used to think that CDs at a store were a ripoff directly because of the

48:21.660 --> 48:27.620
recording labels. And what I realized now is that, yes, CDs are still expensive as hell,

48:27.740 --> 48:34.080
but it isn't, you know, this RIAA's fault, for instance. It's the whole group of sort of

48:34.080 --> 48:39.080
events converging together that end up in being what is a very expensive price tag and people

48:39.080 --> 48:42.900
demanding lots of royalties, other people demanding royalties and all this mixing up

48:42.900 --> 48:48.960
for these high price points. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that my, I think I'm more

48:48.960 --> 48:53.980
even now. I think that my perspective highlights more of the corporate interests, which I was

48:53.980 --> 49:00.400
lacking before. And I'm not paid by the corporations or anything like that. It's just, it was something

49:00.400 --> 49:05.980
that I lacked. I suppose when you're a teenager, you're sort of not too much, you're sort of

49:05.980 --> 49:10.600
anti-establishmentarian or whatever that word is. And it's opened my eyes.

49:10.920 --> 49:14.960
Well, and there, there is an age factor in there for sure. A lot of younger people are

49:14.960 --> 49:19.120
certainly downloading it because it's free and they don't have to pay for it. We, I mean,

49:19.140 --> 49:22.300
no one's denying that. That'd be naive to not say that's happening.

49:23.440 --> 49:27.700
Yeah. And it's, it's sad though. I mean, like, anyways.

49:27.700 --> 49:32.120
Well, you know what, and you kind of alluded to this, but I mean, the, the, the simplified

49:32.120 --> 49:40.080
version is the system is flawed. The way the system delivers music has been, see, where

49:40.080 --> 49:46.200
the, there's too many middlemen. People in the middle, they see a good thing and they're

49:46.200 --> 49:51.200
like, wow, that guy makes good music or those people make good music and these people have

49:51.200 --> 49:54.760
money and want to pay for it. And they'll stick their hands out in the middle and they'll

49:54.760 --> 49:58.780
try to weasel their way in and get some of that money. And that's happened so much over

49:58.780 --> 50:03.880
the years. And so many people have weaseled their way in and got their hands out that that's

50:03.880 --> 50:08.940
why like the, a lot of the artists, they don't have a problem necessarily with, I'm sure

50:08.940 --> 50:14.580
they don't all want their music downloaded for free, you know, but they're, a lot of them

50:14.580 --> 50:19.580
realize and understand that they could make as much, if not probably more, if they went

50:19.580 --> 50:24.720
with a different distribution method. But unfortunately they have to sign labels if

50:24.720 --> 50:27.760
they really want to hit the quote unquote big time, they're not going to get on those

50:27.760 --> 50:33.020
top 40 stations because the system will not let them get there unless they go through

50:33.020 --> 50:39.360
the system. And now we've got resources like this radio station and this radio show and

50:39.360 --> 50:42.860
others like it, Rant Radio and all these other stations out there and that's why it's

50:42.860 --> 50:47.960
important. We're giving them that other platform to release their music and another way to get

50:47.960 --> 50:52.780
it out there. And I, for one, I've said on the show many times, iTunes is a good start

50:52.780 --> 50:57.460
and things like that where you can pay for one individual track or whatever. I don't

50:57.460 --> 51:02.960
like the overabundance of DRM in it and the limitations of it. And I still happen to believe

51:02.960 --> 51:04.680
that a dollar is too much for one song.

51:04.980 --> 51:07.100
Me too. I would pay, I did some research on that.

51:07.420 --> 51:11.480
I would pay 50 cents. That's my limit. I would rather pay a quarter, obviously. I'd be willing

51:11.480 --> 51:15.880
to pay 50 cents for a song that I like where I could use it as much as I want, copy it to

51:15.880 --> 51:22.580
20 different, like I want to put it on like maybe my PDA phone, put it on an iPod, put

51:22.580 --> 51:27.740
it on another MP3 player. I've got five or six computers in this room. You know, I don't

51:27.740 --> 51:31.900
want this limiting. I can only put it on five computers ever over the life of the damn thing.

51:31.940 --> 51:32.680
That's ridiculous.

51:32.680 --> 51:39.040
But yeah, and like for the dollar song, like, and it goes back to your middleman thing. Like

51:39.040 --> 51:43.920
I tried contacting Apple's and everyone pretty much, I was doing research into that, why it

51:43.920 --> 51:48.120
was so expensive. Because a dollar is actually a shitload for just a download that, you know,

51:48.160 --> 51:49.680
costs maybe half a cent in bandwidth.

51:50.320 --> 51:51.300
If that, yeah.

51:51.740 --> 51:57.740
Yeah, probably a half of a trillionth of a cent. And what it turns out to be, yeah, it's

51:57.740 --> 52:01.460
middleman. And not just middleman so much as that, you know, all these people want

52:01.460 --> 52:05.660
royalties. And they're still stuck in the old way of thinking. And so they demand, you

52:05.660 --> 52:10.540
know, well, five cents here, five cents here, five cents here. And they have a right to it

52:10.540 --> 52:14.480
for sure. You know, you know, these people deserve their money. The music publishers deserve

52:14.480 --> 52:14.960
their money.

52:15.360 --> 52:16.720
I don't know. To a certain extent.

52:16.720 --> 52:22.540
It all adds up. And, you know, when it adds up, it adds up to a lot. Apple makes only something

52:22.540 --> 52:28.380
like, what was it, 10 cents per sale on their per dollar download?

52:28.380 --> 52:34.900
Only 10 cents? Dude, only 10 cents for how many millions and billions of downloads? That

52:34.900 --> 52:35.220
adds up.

52:35.220 --> 52:39.860
But still, I mean, you know, if it was four to 50 cents and they made 10 cents off that,

52:39.900 --> 52:40.780
it'd be a lot more decent.

52:40.780 --> 52:47.820
Yeah, for sure. But I don't know. We could go into another long debate on whether or not

52:47.820 --> 52:53.460
the labels have such a right to make their money. Or the cop, or the licensors, I should

52:53.460 --> 53:00.020
say, because they are middlemen to me. I think if, in an ideal world, which is not

53:00.020 --> 53:04.200
going to freaking happen, let's admit it. But let's pretend, let's do, let's go to

53:04.200 --> 53:04.860
Stank World here.

53:05.960 --> 53:06.360
Okay.

53:06.680 --> 53:06.960
Okay.

53:07.740 --> 53:08.420
The artist...

53:08.420 --> 53:10.460
I'm waving my fingers here to go into Stank World.

53:10.600 --> 53:14.640
The artist... Hey, that was a quote from another famous Canadian, Mike Myers. See? Ooh.

53:14.800 --> 53:14.920
Yeah.

53:15.180 --> 53:18.300
See, I'm up on my Canadian trivia. You guys up there in Canadia.

53:19.260 --> 53:19.860
Oh, yes.

53:19.860 --> 53:28.460
We, um... If we lived in a perfect world, the artist could put their music on iTunes

53:28.460 --> 53:33.820
and they could set the amount of money that they want to make on it. And, even more ideally,

53:33.940 --> 53:37.460
let's set a cap on... This is the most you can charge. Let's say they want 25 cents out

53:37.460 --> 53:41.360
of it, but they'll allow iTunes to sell it for up to 50. That way, they make a quarter

53:41.360 --> 53:48.720
and the other quarter goes to the artist and it's that fucking simple. Why can't that happen?

53:48.720 --> 53:54.000
Why is that so difficult? Because there's... Technically, you're a band. Hey, I'm going

53:54.000 --> 53:57.520
to upload it to iTunes. And guess what? If it sucks, it's not going to sell. Sink or swim

53:57.520 --> 54:01.780
on its own merit. You know? It's going to be there. People can have access to it easily.

54:01.920 --> 54:06.400
And I'm, of course, making iTunes as one example. I could be referring to anything, any company,

54:06.520 --> 54:12.140
whatever. You know what I'm getting at there. It should and could be that simple, but everybody's

54:12.140 --> 54:12.820
got their hand out.

54:13.320 --> 54:18.140
You know, I think it is going to end up like that. You know, magnitude... I keep saying magnitude

54:18.140 --> 54:22.620
and I don't want to give them bonus because, to me, they're just, you know, a company.

54:23.140 --> 54:28.960
But, you know, where they give, you know, 50 to the artists, 50% of themselves. Something

54:28.960 --> 54:33.140
like that, I think it's going to get bigger over time. And I think that as more artists

54:33.140 --> 54:38.100
move away from the labels, and right now, I mean, let's not kid ourselves. Although we

54:38.100 --> 54:42.540
hear lots of news of this happening, it's really only a small, small, small fraction of a percent

54:42.540 --> 54:46.840
that do that. But as more of them move away from the labels, there'll be more momentum

54:46.840 --> 54:53.040
towards this new way of doing things, this new free market. And I say that in 20 years

54:53.040 --> 54:58.000
from now, okay, maybe not 20 years because that's too far and just depressing, maybe 10

54:58.000 --> 55:03.500
years from now, I say that there'll be artists, like half the artists we know today, on something

55:03.500 --> 55:06.020
where we have the system of stank world.

55:08.720 --> 55:11.640
You missed a phone call. And you missed a phone call just then.

55:12.480 --> 55:13.820
I hope it wasn't too late.

55:14.060 --> 55:17.940
Ah, they'll deal with it. Screw the listeners! We don't care about them on this show.

55:19.140 --> 55:21.880
But we could have had a social engineering thing with a telemarketer.

55:22.040 --> 55:23.560
Ah, screw the listeners, they'll deal with it.

55:24.280 --> 55:26.640
Oh, wait a minute, you know what? Remind me to edit that screw the listeners out.

55:27.520 --> 55:27.840
Okay.

55:28.060 --> 55:29.840
No, I'm going to leave that in there. It'll be funnier that way.

55:30.620 --> 55:31.840
Anyway, I'm sorry, you were saying?

55:32.780 --> 55:34.220
No, I wasn't saying anything, actually.

55:34.880 --> 55:39.740
Well, you know what? And actually, we've gone well over time. But just one other thing

55:39.740 --> 55:45.020
I did quickly want to say was, we've been talking mostly, at least on this show, about

55:45.020 --> 55:49.400
the music aspect. But you also touched on movies in there as well. Did you find a big

55:49.400 --> 55:54.020
difference? Were there a lot of similarities? I know you said legally music was different

55:54.020 --> 55:57.320
than movies and software. But other than that, were there any differences or similarities

55:57.320 --> 56:03.720
between the, let's again use the word, the system? Were they similar in the way that

56:03.720 --> 56:05.700
they both feel about piracy?

56:05.700 --> 56:14.740
Yeah. I mean, I interviewed the chief of operations for the NTAAA's Canadian branch. And what he

56:14.740 --> 56:19.980
gave is pretty much what the music industry gave. And movies is basically where the music

56:19.980 --> 56:24.240
industry was three years ago. You know, in terms of downloading now, that bandwidth and

56:24.240 --> 56:28.360
high speed is very prominent in Canada and the United States and all Western nations.

56:28.360 --> 56:33.680
I mean, there's still that barrier with some people, but it's a big issue now, much in

56:33.680 --> 56:39.100
the same way. And the laws are the same. The issues are the same. So yeah, I'd say, you

56:39.100 --> 56:44.840
know what, the threats are the same. Only now the NTAAA is putting on, you know, lots of

56:44.840 --> 56:49.720
efforts and to shutting down these where's groups and whatnot. But yeah.

56:49.720 --> 56:55.920
Well, you know, the whole suing 12 year old girls and grandmothers and all that, that's

56:55.920 --> 57:03.060
been well documented with all of these people trying to enforce their own. Anyway, well, you

57:03.060 --> 57:09.100
know, let me give you Stank's quick opinion on movies, my rant on movies. First of all,

57:09.220 --> 57:13.040
I can't stand watching a movie on my computer. It's just a personal thing. I don't like it.

57:13.260 --> 57:16.520
I just, I don't like it. You know, I'd rather go on my big screen and watch it or go in a

57:16.520 --> 57:20.960
movie theater or whatever. I don't like watching it on a little screen like that. Unless when

57:20.960 --> 57:25.400
I'm traveling for work on an airplane, it's great for that. I can handle that. But I don't

57:25.400 --> 57:29.360
like watching those camera ones with the little fucking Z that floats around on the screen

57:29.360 --> 57:33.620
and shit like that. Can't stand that kind of stuff. So I don't like watching them on

57:33.620 --> 57:38.500
the computer anyway. Secondly, here's, and here's, I know they view it as a threat. I look

57:38.500 --> 57:44.060
at it as, I think they should look at this as an opportunity. Because this is where music,

57:44.060 --> 57:49.280
the RAA and them screwed up a few years back. When this was starting to happen, Napster,

57:49.380 --> 57:53.780
let's go back that far. They had an opportunity there that way they could have changed their

57:53.780 --> 57:59.580
modeling and their pricing structure and actually used this new medium. And right now, because

57:59.580 --> 58:03.880
they're like, to use your phrase, three years behind, I think they're in the same situation

58:03.880 --> 58:07.940
where they could take advantage of this and use this, or they could shoot themselves in

58:07.940 --> 58:10.980
the foot. And I'm waiting, I'm curious, I'm going to wait and see what happens. Because

58:10.980 --> 58:17.080
right now, you can go buy a DVD when it's released, sometimes as low as $10, $10 to $15,

58:17.480 --> 58:25.320
$20 usually suggested retail. That's fair to me. $10 to $15 for a good movie, or what

58:25.320 --> 58:29.040
I consider good, and of course everybody has their own whatever, of what they think is

58:29.040 --> 58:33.760
good. I'm willing to pay $10 to have that that I can watch multiple times. You know,

58:33.840 --> 58:38.760
I do not like the region restrictions. That's a whole other topic. I wish it were completely

58:38.760 --> 58:42.780
region free. I wish I didn't have a lot of region crap. But, I'm willing to pay $10

58:42.780 --> 58:48.860
to own a movie that I can watch as much as I want, when I want, and have high quality

58:48.860 --> 58:54.800
audio, high quality video, and extra features and stuff like that on it. Personally, I'm

58:54.800 --> 58:59.420
okay with that. I know a lot of people probably will disagree. I'm not, you know, I think

58:59.420 --> 59:05.380
$10 to go to a movie theater is also a little steep, but if you go infrequently, it's okay.

59:05.740 --> 59:09.820
You know, they can charge that. It's a market economy, and I can't fault them for that. I

59:09.820 --> 59:15.580
personally think it's a little high, but what are you going to do? But, if they start raising

59:15.580 --> 59:22.500
the prices on DVDs, and continue increasing the prices on movies, they're going to shoot

59:22.500 --> 59:26.940
themselves in the foot, and I'm going to be on this show, or some show, or maybe I'll be

59:26.940 --> 59:30.020
nowhere, and everybody will have forgotten about me, which is fine too, but I'll be bitching

59:30.020 --> 59:34.840
at one of my friends, and I'll say, I told you fuckers a couple years ago, that you had

59:34.840 --> 59:38.580
a chance, and you're going to blow it. If they end up increasing the stuff where, you

59:38.580 --> 59:41.540
know what, there's going to get to a point where I'm going to say, it's not worth it

59:41.540 --> 59:45.700
to buy a DVD anymore. I'm not paying that much to go to a movie theater. And when that

59:45.700 --> 59:48.680
happens, you know what they're going to do? They're going to cry and go, oh, it's piracy

59:48.680 --> 59:52.800
that killed us. No, you fucktards. It's greed that killed you.

59:52.800 --> 59:57.740
Well, I agree with you. And, you know, okay, let's put this in, you know, different

59:57.740 --> 01:00:02.640
circumstances. Let's say it was 20 years ago, right? And you were in a shop, and you

01:00:02.640 --> 01:00:06.900
saw, and CDs weren't out yet, right? Let's say CDs didn't exist yet, but everyone had

01:00:06.900 --> 01:00:09.000
a CD player for some miraculous reason.

01:00:09.060 --> 01:00:09.380
Okay.

01:00:09.520 --> 01:00:11.860
And you saw someone selling CDs, right?

01:00:12.080 --> 01:00:12.420
Mm-hmm.

01:00:13.180 --> 01:00:17.060
Pirated CDs, right? But CDs didn't exist yet, except this guy had them, and you can play

01:00:17.060 --> 01:00:17.240
them.

01:00:17.660 --> 01:00:17.920
Right.

01:00:17.920 --> 01:00:24.280
But, you know, this is a new market, and no one's tapping it, you know? If they were

01:00:24.280 --> 01:00:30.020
smart, they'd make CDs, right? The companies would make CDs. And so that was a horrible

01:00:30.020 --> 01:00:34.940
analogy, but I guess what I'm trying to say is, what they should do is, here's all these

01:00:34.940 --> 01:00:38.860
people targeting these movies online. I know you don't like it online, but some people,

01:00:39.100 --> 01:00:44.160
you know, they're indifferent. To me, that's a sign that there's a market there.

01:00:44.160 --> 01:00:49.000
But you're right, it's untapped, and they are fucking this up big time, because they're

01:00:49.000 --> 01:00:58.100
not, there is no movie iTunes, right? So, if they were smart, which they aren't, if they

01:00:58.100 --> 01:01:02.920
were smart, there would be a way to download movies, DRM, let's say it's DRM, so that, you

01:01:02.920 --> 01:01:07.580
know, they could release DVDs later on, but let's say they have movies online for seven

01:01:07.580 --> 01:01:07.960
bucks.

01:01:08.180 --> 01:01:12.860
If I pay to download it, why should I then have to pay again to get it on DVD? Let

01:01:12.860 --> 01:01:14.080
me burn my own freaking DVD.

01:01:14.660 --> 01:01:15.540
Well, you know what?

01:01:16.620 --> 01:01:20.020
Yeah, anyway, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, yeah, I didn't mean to branch off

01:01:20.020 --> 01:01:20.620
of that, go ahead.

01:01:21.800 --> 01:01:25.140
But that's basically what I'm trying to say, you know, here's this big market, they're not

01:01:25.140 --> 01:01:30.260
tapping it, and yes, a few years down the road, they will cry wolf, or cry fowl, or

01:01:30.260 --> 01:01:35.700
whatever, but if they were to sell movies right now online, same time as movie theaters,

01:01:36.340 --> 01:01:40.700
there'd be a huge market. Yes, some people would still pirate it, for sure, but I bet you

01:01:40.700 --> 01:01:46.000
a lot more people would buy it, because people don't like, people like buying, people like

01:01:46.000 --> 01:01:47.700
supporting, they like it, you know?

01:01:47.860 --> 01:01:54.480
Right, yeah, well, to a certain extent, absolutely. I totally support, I bought Jason Scott's documentary,

01:01:55.000 --> 01:01:59.260
absolutely, because I support it, and I hope you'll make a DVD available that I can buy from

01:01:59.260 --> 01:02:04.940
you, you know, which you're going to sign for me, of course, and send me a copy. But

01:02:04.940 --> 01:02:10.600
absolutely, and they've got to think how to tap this, I mean, instead of this whole traditional

01:02:10.600 --> 01:02:13.840
way of thinking, they've got to think new, they've got to think outside the box. Like,

01:02:13.960 --> 01:02:21.240
here's an example, I don't know if this is viable. I pay $5, $10, or something, to download

01:02:21.240 --> 01:02:25.180
a DRM version of the movie that I can watch on my computer. Again, personally, I'm not

01:02:25.180 --> 01:02:30.700
here, but when it's released on DVD, they have it on file, and they mail it to me for another

01:02:30.700 --> 01:02:35.320
$5, or something. That way, I have it early, I have a digital copy, but I also get a physical

01:02:35.320 --> 01:02:39.240
DVD, which I like to have from a collection standpoint. I kind of like to have my DVD

01:02:39.240 --> 01:02:42.880
collection that I can go browse through it, and say, I'm in the mood to watch this, you

01:02:42.880 --> 01:02:43.080
know?

01:02:44.200 --> 01:02:48.380
And that sounds like a fantastic idea, and that's one thing, you know, if that were a business

01:02:48.380 --> 01:02:53.440
model right now, guaranteed, I'd pretty much watch a lot more movies than I do now, and

01:02:53.440 --> 01:02:58.080
that's how I'd do it. But I think the biggest problem they face right now is just it's so

01:02:58.080 --> 01:03:04.080
slow to get changes through. Like, look how long it... When Napster came out, it's not

01:03:04.080 --> 01:03:08.080
like they were really ignoring it. They're not complete idiots. They're sort of aware

01:03:08.080 --> 01:03:12.640
that this thing's there. It's just it takes so long for them to do all these changes, and

01:03:12.640 --> 01:03:18.700
unfortunately, they're not going fast enough, and they're really ultimately going to hurt

01:03:18.700 --> 01:03:23.740
themselves by sort of not pressuring themselves to be faster to adopt new models that embrace

01:03:23.740 --> 01:03:31.020
the Internet. Yeah. Some of them are complete idiots, though. Yeah, it'll go agreed. Some

01:03:31.020 --> 01:03:39.300
of them. Oh, we're dropping docs now. All right, man. Well, let's see. The only other

01:03:39.300 --> 01:03:43.560
thing is I did make a note to myself that I really thought it was cool the way you did

01:03:43.560 --> 01:03:47.420
the closing credits with the ANSI art. I thought that was a nice touch and a throwback to the

01:03:47.420 --> 01:03:52.840
old, well, for piracy days where you would get the info file and you get the ANSI art with

01:03:52.840 --> 01:03:58.460
all the shouts and all the release names and thanks to this release group and et cetera,

01:03:58.560 --> 01:04:02.620
et cetera. I thought that was kind of cool. Can we give somebody some credit for who did

01:04:02.620 --> 01:04:09.100
that art? Yeah. His name is Zero, and I used to work with him back in the day, and he's a

01:04:09.100 --> 01:04:17.060
very good ANSI artist, and you may catch some of his art on some art packs that are online.

01:04:17.840 --> 01:04:24.480
Unfortunately, I can't give more information than that, but incredible artist. Cool. Cool.

01:04:25.300 --> 01:04:30.120
All right. Well, what else do we have? Did we miss anything? We were pretty thorough in

01:04:30.120 --> 01:04:33.760
all that, huh? Yeah. I realized that I interrupted.

01:04:33.760 --> 01:04:39.920
I have one other little thing that kind of popped into my mind, too, is I don't know how

01:04:39.920 --> 01:04:45.320
to politely word this, but you interviewed somebody who was part of a release group. How

01:04:45.320 --> 01:04:51.540
do you not get in trouble by putting someone's face and recording talking about that kind of

01:04:51.540 --> 01:04:59.040
thing? You change his name. You delete. You have no reference of him on your computer whatsoever.

01:04:59.040 --> 01:05:03.780
All your information on him is in your head. And forgotten, by the way, I don't remember his phone

01:05:03.780 --> 01:05:07.320
number. I don't remember. Does he have an email address? I don't know where he lives.

01:05:08.080 --> 01:05:11.500
And you eat the tape with ketchup.

01:05:12.220 --> 01:05:18.640
Hmm. Hmm. Yeah, his face is out there, man. I think I might have blurred that one.

01:05:18.640 --> 01:05:28.520
Well, you know what? Like, we were talking about this, me and him. And, you know, like, there's

01:05:28.520 --> 01:05:34.580
no reference to his real group. And, you know, he said himself that he's retired. So it's

01:05:34.580 --> 01:05:39.400
not like the FBI has face recognition. And even if they do, well, I can guarantee you here

01:05:39.400 --> 01:05:45.580
in Canada, the closest thing to face recognition is probably someone drawing on, uh, with oil

01:05:45.580 --> 01:05:48.400
on paper. So he's pretty safe.

01:05:48.640 --> 01:05:52.900
Well, and you know what? That segment, see, watch how I do this. See, this is, this is how

01:05:52.900 --> 01:05:58.520
you work it. That entire segment was completely fictionalized anyway for the movie. So it's

01:05:58.520 --> 01:05:59.500
really non-issue.

01:06:00.240 --> 01:06:02.940
You know what? He was lying the whole thing. He's a paid actor.

01:06:02.940 --> 01:06:08.540
Exactly. See, that's what they do in the film industry. See? You're absolutely going

01:06:08.540 --> 01:06:11.140
to end up being, you're going to be the next Scorsese, man. You're going to be the next,

01:06:11.220 --> 01:06:17.260
uh, Lucas? No, not Lucas. He's a bastard. Um, um, actually, you know what? You're going

01:06:17.260 --> 01:06:21.160
to laugh at this. I'm the only person, I'm the only person who still hasn't seen that

01:06:21.160 --> 01:06:22.260
third Star Trek movie.

01:06:23.020 --> 01:06:24.440
The first two were so...

01:06:24.440 --> 01:06:25.360
It's actually not that bad.

01:06:25.560 --> 01:06:26.920
Yeah, the first two were so horrible.

01:06:27.660 --> 01:06:31.780
Oh, yeah. Guaranteed. The first one, that whole Jar Jar thing, horrible. The second one

01:06:31.780 --> 01:06:35.840
was even worse. I, I actually didn't see it in theaters. I rented it and then I was

01:06:35.840 --> 01:06:39.540
glad, but then I felt stupid for spending, you know, four bucks renting it.

01:06:39.740 --> 01:06:40.020
Right.

01:06:40.280 --> 01:06:44.780
Third one ain't that bad. Okay, think of, you ever heard of a guy named Yul Bull? He did

01:06:44.780 --> 01:06:46.040
the Alone in the Dark movies.

01:06:46.220 --> 01:06:47.800
Wow, that sounds really familiar.

01:06:48.280 --> 01:06:56.300
Okay, he's, he's a guy who's so bad that he gets tax breaks because he's just that bad.

01:06:56.620 --> 01:07:01.060
He is probably one of the worst directors. My fish, I had my fish with me watching one

01:07:01.060 --> 01:07:07.480
of his movies and it imploded. Okay? It is a horror, he is bad. Alone in the Dark is a

01:07:07.480 --> 01:07:12.160
movie you absolutely have to rent just because it's just that bad. Okay? Then you need a

01:07:12.160 --> 01:07:21.000
good laugh. But, um, I, compared to that, you know, but the third one, if you like bad

01:07:21.000 --> 01:07:26.720
movies or, sorry, I was going somewhere with this, but you know what, just watch it, rent

01:07:26.720 --> 01:07:28.440
is five bucks, not a bad, you know.

01:07:28.640 --> 01:07:35.180
Yeah, yeah, I mean, the first Star Trek was really bad, or I'm sorry, Star Wars. Oh, damn

01:07:35.180 --> 01:07:39.200
it, again, I've done that. I'll get all the Trekkies haunting me for that, stalking me.

01:07:39.280 --> 01:07:39.780
Yeah, eight mil.

01:07:39.840 --> 01:07:47.680
Star Wars one was horrible. I paid and went to see it in the theater and I really felt

01:07:47.680 --> 01:07:52.500
ripped off. Like Kevin Smith, I felt horribly ripped off. So when the second one came out,

01:07:52.500 --> 01:07:56.800
I did not go pay to see it in the theater. Because I already felt ripped off from the

01:07:56.800 --> 01:08:02.380
first one. I wanted to actually get my money's worth from the first movie by watching the

01:08:02.380 --> 01:08:06.240
second movie, which I thought was a little better, but still pretty damn bad if it wasn't

01:08:06.240 --> 01:08:11.040
for the Yoda fight scene. The rest of it was pretty crappy. If I wanted to watch fucking

01:08:11.040 --> 01:08:15.680
romance shit, I'd watch When Harry Fucked Sally or whatever that movie is. There's probably

01:08:15.680 --> 01:08:20.200
a porn by that name. I just made it up, but it probably already exists. When Harry Met Sally

01:08:20.200 --> 01:08:24.400
or some crap, I don't want to see all that stuff. Like saving Ryan's track.

01:08:24.800 --> 01:08:30.600
Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And I think somebody in IRC, I glanced at, said that they're making

01:08:30.600 --> 01:08:34.600
one for the Da Vinci Code. Oh, what was the...

01:08:34.600 --> 01:08:34.800
Making it what?

01:08:35.240 --> 01:08:40.260
I don't remember what the porn joke was. Oh, the Da Vinci, it was called the Da Vinci

01:08:40.260 --> 01:08:46.460
Load. Oh, that's so awful. Okay, we've degraded as far as we can go on the show for this

01:08:46.460 --> 01:08:50.740
time, but we're well over time, so we're going to squeeze in a couple emails at the

01:08:50.740 --> 01:08:58.580
end of the show, but Julian, a.k.a. Seal, a.k.a. the next big Hollywood director, thank

01:08:58.580 --> 01:09:03.880
you for being on the show. I appreciate it. And for those of you who don't, haven't seen

01:09:03.880 --> 01:09:10.060
it yet, piracydocumentary.com. All right, so again, thank you for being on the show, and

01:09:10.060 --> 01:09:34.980
we are going to do some email. And helping us out on the email segment of the show this

01:09:34.980 --> 01:09:39.560
week is our good friend, Drewce. Thank you for letting me be on the show, buddy.

01:09:39.680 --> 01:09:43.500
All right, well, let's jump into some email here. Our first email this week comes from

01:09:43.500 --> 01:09:52.340
WebX7. I can't think of any other way to pronounce that, so WebX7 says, hey, I would like to request

01:09:52.340 --> 01:09:57.380
documents from my local courthouse on a friend of mine that was arrested. Does anyone have

01:09:57.380 --> 01:10:03.200
any idea on how I would do this? I would prefer free, but if I have to pay for copy costs at

01:10:03.200 --> 01:10:08.820
my courthouse or something, I can live with that. Thanks. And I believe this person also

01:10:08.820 --> 01:10:13.840
posted in the forums. Did you see that thread out there, Droopy? I did not, Mr. Stiggy.

01:10:14.100 --> 01:10:19.040
No, okay. First of all, theoretically, you should be able to go to the courthouse where the filing

01:10:19.040 --> 01:10:23.400
is or where the filing happened or whatever and request copies of it, but I've never done

01:10:23.400 --> 01:10:27.140
that myself, so I can't say whether that's true or false. I would think that you should be

01:10:27.140 --> 01:10:30.920
able to go there because it's a matter of public record, so I would think you should be able

01:10:30.920 --> 01:10:35.720
to go there and get copies for a fee of, I don't know, a buck a page, I would imagine.

01:10:35.820 --> 01:10:40.580
I don't know, maybe two. I don't know. But you're better off going online. The only one

01:10:40.580 --> 01:10:45.580
that I'm familiar with is called Pacer, P-A-C-E-R, and if you do a Google search, you should find

01:10:45.580 --> 01:10:55.300
it, but it's pacer.psc.uscourts.gov, but just do a Google search for Pacer and Courts or Pacer

01:10:55.300 --> 01:11:00.000
and legal or something like that, and you'll find it, and this is the one that I use to

01:11:00.000 --> 01:11:04.420
look up information about Decoder's case, and Decoder confirmed that, yes, that Pacer

01:11:04.420 --> 01:11:09.580
was the one that he knew about as well. So you go on there. They do charge you, I think,

01:11:09.700 --> 01:11:13.300
I don't think it was very much, maybe 10 cents a page or something like that to download,

01:11:13.860 --> 01:11:18.140
so you can do a search and find what you want. The person's name usually is what it's filed

01:11:18.140 --> 01:11:21.900
under if you don't know the docket number, case number, whatever, but you should be able

01:11:21.900 --> 01:11:26.700
to get it. Now, they don't always put stuff on immediately, so, I mean, if he has a court

01:11:26.700 --> 01:11:30.900
case in the morning, don't expect it to be there that night or possibly even that week,

01:11:31.340 --> 01:11:36.600
but if you keep watching and keep searching for it, you can find it there. If you really,

01:11:36.780 --> 01:11:41.420
really need the information, you know, contact a lawyer. Now, they're almost definitely going

01:11:41.420 --> 01:11:45.800
to charge you, but they have full access to everything, and maybe they'll, hey, maybe

01:11:45.800 --> 01:11:49.040
you get lucky, maybe they'll only charge you copying costs or access costs or something

01:11:49.040 --> 01:11:51.160
like that, who knows? So it depends on how bad you want it.

01:11:51.900 --> 01:11:56.880
Uh, let's see, what else do we have in here? Um, I don't have too much time because we

01:11:56.880 --> 01:12:00.100
had such a long main topic tonight, so I'm going to skip through a couple of these short

01:12:00.100 --> 01:12:04.680
emails. Oh, here's a, here's, here's one of our good friends here from the moderating

01:12:04.680 --> 01:12:08.800
team. We got an email from Booter. Booter's our home, our home dog.

01:12:09.760 --> 01:12:10.920
Did Booter ask how to hack?

01:12:11.080 --> 01:12:16.760
A fellow, a fellow redneck. Um, no, not exactly how to hack. Actually, he, he, uh, sent an email

01:12:16.760 --> 01:12:21.060
following up on a conversation from a previous episode, and let me just read it. I guess

01:12:21.060 --> 01:12:29.320
it says, referring back to you and Rax's conversation on episode 151 about Moore's law, which is of

01:12:29.320 --> 01:12:33.660
course that computing power is doubling every 18 months, is that what it is? Uh, there's

01:12:33.660 --> 01:12:37.700
a company out there claiming, and Rax and I were talking about disk space more to the

01:12:37.700 --> 01:12:45.020
point. Um, there's a company out there claiming that they will have 1.2 petabyte drives in four

01:12:45.020 --> 01:12:51.140
to five years for only about $750. I guess we'll have to wait and see if they can pull

01:12:51.140 --> 01:12:55.960
it off, but although you could store all the prawn in the world, who feels like waiting

01:12:55.960 --> 01:12:58.520
two to five years for a fucking defrag?

01:12:58.520 --> 01:13:05.900
So, Booter, thank you for the email, but listen, I gotta say this. Droops, I don't know how,

01:13:05.960 --> 01:13:10.520
I don't know how you feel about this. I don't know if I'm, I'm alone on this one, but I'm

01:13:10.520 --> 01:13:15.960
just gonna come out and say, nobody loves prawn more than me. I, I like prawn as much as the

01:13:15.960 --> 01:13:22.980
next guy. Don't get me wrong, right? But I've never, I've never really been one to stash

01:13:22.980 --> 01:13:27.580
porn, like store a bunch of porn locally on a drive in any kind of quantity. I've never

01:13:27.580 --> 01:13:35.160
really felt the need for that, because, I mean, I can't even think of any prawn whatsoever

01:13:35.160 --> 01:13:40.060
that I have, I mean, other than those movies that you and I made. But other, like, any downloaded

01:13:40.060 --> 01:13:45.620
movies or downloaded prawn, I can't think of any of it. You know, just our personal stuff,

01:13:45.680 --> 01:13:46.320
but I digress.

01:13:47.280 --> 01:13:48.800
Did you put that personal stuff up on YouTube?

01:13:48.800 --> 01:13:53.580
Um, well, I've been meaning to. Maybe by the time the show airs, it'll be out

01:13:53.580 --> 01:13:58.040
there. Um, but, you know, there's that, there's whatabigcock.com.

01:13:59.080 --> 01:13:59.400
Yes.

01:13:59.520 --> 01:14:02.300
That one's out there. But other than that, no, I don't think we put anything else

01:14:02.300 --> 01:14:06.600
out. Um, and here, and let me tell you why I say that. Here's my thought process, so

01:14:06.600 --> 01:14:12.100
tell me what you think about this, Troops. My thought is that the internet is full of

01:14:12.100 --> 01:14:18.260
fucking prawn! I can't go anywhere to any website without stepping in prawn.

01:14:18.800 --> 01:14:25.260
Getting bukkake stuck to my shoe everywhere I go. So I really don't feel the need to stash

01:14:25.260 --> 01:14:31.360
uh, 1.2 petabytes of prawn. Of course, I'm joking. I know Buddha was joking, too. But

01:14:31.360 --> 01:14:33.980
do you have a prawn stash, Troops? Be honest.

01:14:34.760 --> 01:14:37.160
Well, I used to have quite a prawn stash.

01:14:38.740 --> 01:14:39.140
But?

01:14:39.140 --> 01:14:45.700
Because, because sometimes you, maybe you're away from your internet, and you need some

01:14:45.700 --> 01:14:49.020
peran on your laptop. You know, for perusal.

01:14:51.460 --> 01:14:51.860
Okay.

01:14:52.080 --> 01:14:56.400
But, I'm not very good at this whole computer thing, and my wife kept finding it, so I don't

01:14:56.400 --> 01:14:57.240
have it anymore.

01:14:57.240 --> 01:15:01.620
Oh, that's the greatest story ever.

01:15:03.620 --> 01:15:08.460
Well, I just, I mean, okay, I guess, see, I just can't even picture not having internet

01:15:08.460 --> 01:15:16.420
access anymore. It's 2006. Between war driving and free access, free wifi, and my cell phone

01:15:16.420 --> 01:15:18.080
PDA, I have access always.

01:15:18.080 --> 01:15:20.280
What if you're on a long road trip? You need a little porn.

01:15:20.620 --> 01:15:24.820
Well, what, you act like they don't still make Playboy or something. Buy a freaking magazine.

01:15:25.120 --> 01:15:26.620
It's hard to drive and hold the magazine.

01:15:27.080 --> 01:15:27.540
You know.

01:15:27.660 --> 01:15:30.060
But driving and looking at the laptop is much safer.

01:15:30.720 --> 01:15:33.640
Well, I have the truck computer, so I can just put it on the little screen.

01:15:33.760 --> 01:15:40.460
Oh, oh, God. That's a Hack TV video waiting to happen. That's like, Hack TV really, really

01:15:40.460 --> 01:15:41.620
way underground.

01:15:42.540 --> 01:15:43.920
Do you mind if I tell a story?

01:15:44.320 --> 01:15:47.280
Go for it. Hack TV Prawn. That's going to be our new series.

01:15:48.080 --> 01:15:50.220
On the way back from, uh, InterZone.

01:15:50.420 --> 01:15:55.220
Oh, God. Is this going to be a not safe for work story, like, really bad?

01:15:55.900 --> 01:15:56.620
No, no, no, no.

01:15:56.620 --> 01:15:57.360
Oh, okay. Go ahead.

01:15:58.040 --> 01:16:01.480
On the way back from InterZone, we're driving in our, uh, our T-Bird.

01:16:02.100 --> 01:16:05.780
I'm already laughing, and I don't know the story. That's, that's...

01:16:05.780 --> 01:16:10.800
If you're familiar with it, the T-Bird is really hard to see out of, because it's built

01:16:10.800 --> 01:16:14.020
to be written around without a top on it. When you put the top on it, it's hard to see.

01:16:14.280 --> 01:16:14.600
Okay.

01:16:15.120 --> 01:16:18.000
So there's not really, like, a lot of viewing space from outside of the vehicle.

01:16:18.640 --> 01:16:22.220
And we're bored, and we've watched all the movies we've brought, but I brought a relationship

01:16:22.220 --> 01:16:27.860
video that was very graphic with us. And we decided to watch this.

01:16:28.120 --> 01:16:32.300
Wait a minute, wait, wait, wait, hold. A relationship video? What, like, like, Kama Sutra, kind of

01:16:32.300 --> 01:16:34.140
like, how to make better love or something?

01:16:34.420 --> 01:16:34.760
Yes.

01:16:34.760 --> 01:16:38.640
Oh, no! Okay, continue.

01:16:39.640 --> 01:16:43.680
So we're, so we're driving along, and we notice these, uh, rednecks are beside us.

01:16:44.220 --> 01:16:46.980
We being, wait a minute, we being...

01:16:46.980 --> 01:16:48.460
Who came with me to InterZone?

01:16:50.560 --> 01:16:51.000
Okay.

01:16:51.720 --> 01:16:52.560
This is Droops.

01:16:52.820 --> 01:16:56.420
Right. I'm trying to clarify, I'm trying to clarify to the listeners, because they think

01:16:56.420 --> 01:16:57.500
it's me and you right now.

01:16:57.500 --> 01:17:04.100
Okay, I'm sorry. So, my wife and I are enjoying a nice relationship video, and these rednecks

01:17:04.100 --> 01:17:08.600
pull up beside us, and they're honking the horn, and, you know, waving their beers, and

01:17:08.600 --> 01:17:13.340
having a good time. You know, looking, watching our relationship video.

01:17:13.880 --> 01:17:14.280
Right.

01:17:14.960 --> 01:17:18.600
So, so I put the hammer down, blow past those guys.

01:17:19.100 --> 01:17:19.560
Mm-hmm.

01:17:19.680 --> 01:17:23.140
Because I have a rule, I only get one speeding ticket per road trip, and I'd already gotten

01:17:23.140 --> 01:17:24.000
one, so...

01:17:24.000 --> 01:17:24.380
Okay.

01:17:24.420 --> 01:17:25.320
It wasn't going to happen again.

01:17:25.980 --> 01:17:26.360
Gotcha.

01:17:26.880 --> 01:17:29.660
So, so we're driving along, and I'm pretty engrossed in the video.

01:17:31.900 --> 01:17:34.700
And this trucker cuts me off, and I'm like, mother!

01:17:35.660 --> 01:17:38.360
So, uh, I noticed they were boxed in by truckers.

01:17:39.300 --> 01:17:42.000
And I said, oh my God, they're probably watching the video.

01:17:42.000 --> 01:17:46.840
And I don't know how they can see it from where they were, but they, they have a very

01:17:46.840 --> 01:17:49.960
good vantage point from, in those trucks, and they can see everything.

01:17:50.520 --> 01:17:51.420
You've got to be kidding.

01:17:52.420 --> 01:17:52.620
No.

01:17:53.020 --> 01:17:56.540
Well, like, the clothes were still on, it's just the video, the clothes were off.

01:17:57.580 --> 01:17:57.860
Hmm.

01:17:58.420 --> 01:18:01.560
So, I pull out my scanner, turn it on.

01:18:01.620 --> 01:18:04.780
I was going to say, that's when you, like, that's when it's nice to have a good old-fashioned

01:18:04.780 --> 01:18:05.500
CB radio.

01:18:06.360 --> 01:18:06.920
This is true.

01:18:07.020 --> 01:18:10.720
So, I didn't have a CB, I had my scanner, so I was listening to the truckers, and sure enough,

01:18:10.720 --> 01:18:11.500
they had locked us in.

01:18:12.440 --> 01:18:16.060
Suddenly, I lit up my scanner, and I held it out the window, so they would see that

01:18:16.060 --> 01:18:17.120
we were listening to them.

01:18:17.440 --> 01:18:17.840
Right.

01:18:18.840 --> 01:18:21.020
And, uh, they thought that was hilarious.

01:18:21.360 --> 01:18:22.300
That is hilarious.

01:18:22.300 --> 01:18:25.200
That's the greatest story ever told on BinRev Radio.

01:18:25.680 --> 01:18:26.680
Well, I'm not done with it.

01:18:26.780 --> 01:18:27.340
Oh, no!

01:18:27.520 --> 01:18:28.140
It gets better?

01:18:28.840 --> 01:18:31.960
In Mississippi, your county is written on your license plate.

01:18:32.320 --> 01:18:32.680
Right.

01:18:32.680 --> 01:18:35.720
So, they knew that we were from whatever county, Mississippi.

01:18:36.400 --> 01:18:36.800
Right.

01:18:38.060 --> 01:18:42.380
So, they start talking, and asking us questions, and what's happened to break light to answer?

01:18:45.440 --> 01:18:47.520
Okay, we just got into Georgia.

01:18:48.000 --> 01:18:48.280
Right.

01:18:48.280 --> 01:18:49.740
We had gone to look around some stuff.

01:18:50.500 --> 01:18:54.620
So, they were going to Tupelo, which is not very far from where I live.

01:18:55.680 --> 01:18:57.360
In fact, we took the same exit they did.

01:18:57.360 --> 01:19:02.060
And, they were like, you know, they wanted to watch the video, because they were bored.

01:19:02.840 --> 01:19:06.680
And, we got to talking, and, because it's very easy to communicate with just the taps.

01:19:06.740 --> 01:19:08.880
Like, they would ask a question, and they'd say, are you from here?

01:19:09.400 --> 01:19:10.220
And, you wouldn't tap.

01:19:10.260 --> 01:19:11.780
And, they'd say, from here, from here, from here.

01:19:11.840 --> 01:19:13.440
And, so, they got to where it was right, and we tapped.

01:19:13.780 --> 01:19:15.320
And, we had a nice little conversation with them.

01:19:16.100 --> 01:19:19.120
Well, they said, hey, you know, we're going to Tupelo.

01:19:19.720 --> 01:19:20.640
You'll stay with us.

01:19:20.960 --> 01:19:24.040
You'll make it through, you know, the whole way, real fast, real safe.

01:19:24.780 --> 01:19:25.700
So, we said, okay.

01:19:26.640 --> 01:19:29.040
Well, that was like Smokey and the motherfucking Bandit.

01:19:29.040 --> 01:19:34.360
There was about nine or ten 18-wheelers going to Tupelo, and we were in a convoy with them.

01:19:37.060 --> 01:19:39.560
And, we positioned the laptop so they could see it better.

01:19:41.600 --> 01:19:50.240
They're watching porn in another moving vehicle next to them on a road trip convoy of 18-wheeled trucks.

01:19:52.240 --> 01:19:54.900
How did you, all right, wait, is this a real story?

01:19:54.980 --> 01:19:55.760
Are you fucking with me?

01:19:55.780 --> 01:19:57.200
This is a completely real story.

01:19:57.200 --> 01:20:01.140
I can't believe that, how did you never tell me this story before, like, off the air?

01:20:01.200 --> 01:20:04.440
Like, I can't believe that this, you'd have a story like this that you held back.

01:20:05.380 --> 01:20:06.860
I haven't held it back for many people.

01:20:07.640 --> 01:20:08.500
Oh, man.

01:20:09.540 --> 01:20:12.980
So, anyway, they do their business, and they watch us.

01:20:13.660 --> 01:20:14.480
And, like, stay there.

01:20:14.480 --> 01:20:16.060
Wait a minute, what do you mean they do their business?

01:20:18.880 --> 01:20:20.720
Their business of blocking for us.

01:20:20.720 --> 01:20:21.780
Oh, okay.

01:20:22.700 --> 01:20:23.520
You've got to be careful.

01:20:23.680 --> 01:20:28.600
So, you know how you'll pull up, and, like, two 18-wheelers will be drag racing at 10 miles below the speed limit?

01:20:28.780 --> 01:20:29.100
Right.

01:20:29.720 --> 01:20:31.660
They would tell those guys to get the fuck out of the way.

01:20:31.920 --> 01:20:32.280
Mm-hmm.

01:20:32.860 --> 01:20:34.220
So that we could truck on through.

01:20:34.220 --> 01:20:40.320
And we sped like bitches through the construction zone that I got my ticket in previously.

01:20:41.440 --> 01:20:46.040
And in Birmingham, you have to get off the main road and kind of go through town, and they couldn't really make all the lights.

01:20:46.140 --> 01:20:46.880
There were so many trucks.

01:20:47.220 --> 01:20:47.480
Right.

01:20:47.580 --> 01:20:49.660
So we kept having to pull off on the side of the road and wait on them.

01:20:50.780 --> 01:20:52.340
But we trucked on through with them.

01:20:53.160 --> 01:20:53.920
It was a good time.

01:20:54.560 --> 01:20:57.760
So Prawn and CB radio is actually a really good thing to have on road trips.

01:20:58.800 --> 01:21:00.140
Is that the moral of the story?

01:21:00.680 --> 01:21:01.800
That's the moral of the story.

01:21:01.800 --> 01:21:06.240
Wow, that was like a show-and-tell segment, which we don't officially do.

01:21:06.860 --> 01:21:08.060
But that was a good story.

01:21:08.240 --> 01:21:10.420
That was pretty good stuff.

01:21:11.080 --> 01:21:18.000
Now, if I'd have had a Pentabyte drive in my truck computer and, like, a nice 30-inch display behind the truck.

01:21:19.020 --> 01:21:21.120
Well, see, that's what you've got to do next time you go to a conference.

01:21:21.200 --> 01:21:26.660
You've got to actually set up a big widescreen HD in the back window so you can get the convoy going again.

01:21:28.100 --> 01:21:29.660
And then we'll just get the convoy going.

01:21:30.040 --> 01:21:30.400
Exactly.

01:21:30.400 --> 01:21:31.860
Actually, it sounds like a plan.

01:21:33.060 --> 01:21:36.100
Well, anyway, back to this email.

01:21:38.040 --> 01:21:39.480
The whole Prawn thing.

01:21:39.580 --> 01:21:44.140
Again, hey, buy a magazine, you know, or take the video with you, a DVD or whatever.

01:21:44.280 --> 01:21:46.800
But I've never been without Internet access.

01:21:46.940 --> 01:21:48.600
Like, if I want it bad enough, I'll find it.

01:21:48.680 --> 01:21:49.620
And it's not that difficult.

01:21:49.720 --> 01:21:50.440
We all know that.

01:21:50.440 --> 01:21:58.720
So, to me, Prawn is, I can't think of it as a non-renewable resource.

01:21:58.720 --> 01:22:01.180
It's out there everywhere, and it's...

01:22:01.180 --> 01:22:01.900
Well, see, you're not financially stable.

01:22:02.160 --> 01:22:03.520
Let's take a guy that isn't.

01:22:03.920 --> 01:22:05.160
War driving is free.

01:22:05.420 --> 01:22:07.660
The bills, though, the money to pay for his Internet the next month.

01:22:08.060 --> 01:22:11.380
And when you have no Internet, there's nothing else to do but looking for it.

01:22:11.480 --> 01:22:12.160
War driving.

01:22:13.900 --> 01:22:15.020
What if they don't have a laptop?

01:22:15.860 --> 01:22:16.800
You're not putting a Pentabyte drive...

01:22:16.800 --> 01:22:18.280
Well, then what are they putting their porn on?

01:22:18.280 --> 01:22:20.640
Like, they have Internet one month.

01:22:20.680 --> 01:22:21.780
The next month, they can't pay the bill.

01:22:21.960 --> 01:22:22.820
There's free dial-up.

01:22:23.240 --> 01:22:24.240
There's free dial-up.

01:22:24.580 --> 01:22:25.280
I don't want to hear this.

01:22:25.320 --> 01:22:26.220
You're making up excuses.

01:22:26.980 --> 01:22:28.720
Prawn on dial-up is misery.

01:22:28.840 --> 01:22:29.540
Remember that, Stinky?

01:22:29.600 --> 01:22:30.380
Remember back in the day?

01:22:30.400 --> 01:22:31.560
Hey, it doesn't have to be video.

01:22:32.900 --> 01:22:34.000
Images still suck.

01:22:34.420 --> 01:22:35.240
Well, whatever.

01:22:36.180 --> 01:22:38.440
All I'm saying is, it's not gas.

01:22:38.520 --> 01:22:38.920
It's porn.

01:22:38.980 --> 01:22:39.480
It's renewable.

01:22:39.780 --> 01:22:41.740
It's not a non-renewable resource like gasoline.

01:22:43.140 --> 01:22:44.980
I'm just saying, I like to keep the ones I like.

01:22:48.280 --> 01:22:50.200
You've never met a prawn you didn't like.

01:22:52.240 --> 01:22:52.640
Yes.

01:22:52.920 --> 01:22:53.280
Anyway.

01:22:55.620 --> 01:22:56.280
All right.

01:22:56.320 --> 01:22:56.740
Let's see.

01:22:57.000 --> 01:22:57.620
Let's do...

01:22:57.620 --> 01:22:59.560
We can do at least one more email here real quick.

01:22:59.640 --> 01:23:03.920
Next email comes from Digital Galileo, who says,

01:23:04.100 --> 01:23:06.380
First off, I love the show and keep up the good work.

01:23:06.780 --> 01:23:09.060
Regarding recording on the iPod...

01:23:09.060 --> 01:23:09.920
Okay, here we go.

01:23:10.400 --> 01:23:12.260
I asked about recording on the iPod.

01:23:12.260 --> 01:23:13.740
Droops, maybe you can back me up on this.

01:23:14.060 --> 01:23:16.400
All I had was a simple fucking question.

01:23:16.400 --> 01:23:21.580
Can you record voice on an iPod?

01:23:21.700 --> 01:23:22.860
I don't care about modification.

01:23:23.180 --> 01:23:24.380
I don't care about iPod Linux.

01:23:24.480 --> 01:23:26.100
I don't care about buying a third-party app.

01:23:26.420 --> 01:23:28.540
Can you buy an iPod from the Apple store,

01:23:28.860 --> 01:23:30.260
walk out, take it out of the box,

01:23:30.460 --> 01:23:32.480
put batteries in it, and record your voice?

01:23:32.660 --> 01:23:34.540
And finally, somebody says,

01:23:35.080 --> 01:23:39.460
Digital Galileo, you can record on an unmodified iPod,

01:23:39.700 --> 01:23:41.240
but at very low quality.

01:23:41.660 --> 01:23:43.480
iPod Linux has a recording function

01:23:43.480 --> 01:23:45.800
that allows you to record at a much higher bit rate.

01:23:45.800 --> 01:23:46.840
There, that's it.

01:23:46.860 --> 01:23:48.460
There's no microphone in an iPod.

01:23:49.720 --> 01:23:51.080
Is there a microphone jack?

01:23:51.120 --> 01:23:52.640
If you have Linux on there, it still doesn't matter.

01:23:52.820 --> 01:23:53.880
You still have to have a microphone.

01:23:54.340 --> 01:23:55.720
But is there a microphone jack?

01:23:56.760 --> 01:23:57.160
No.

01:23:57.740 --> 01:23:59.100
Well, then how do you record your voice?

01:23:59.440 --> 01:24:02.600
You can buy a little Belkin Mix 1 that I have

01:24:02.600 --> 01:24:05.020
that has a microphone that'll plug into your iPod.

01:24:05.180 --> 01:24:06.820
That's what I said, so there's a microphone jack

01:24:06.820 --> 01:24:08.640
to plug in a microphone.

01:24:09.120 --> 01:24:10.660
It's not a normal jack.

01:24:10.660 --> 01:24:14.540
It's some kind of proprietary thing?

01:24:15.180 --> 01:24:15.540
Yes.

01:24:15.680 --> 01:24:16.060
Oh, how?

01:24:16.180 --> 01:24:17.100
That is so Apple.

01:24:17.300 --> 01:24:18.540
That is so Apple.

01:24:19.640 --> 01:24:20.040
Fuck.

01:24:22.420 --> 01:24:24.860
Anyway, but it can be done without a weird modification.

01:24:25.160 --> 01:24:26.060
It's just having the hardware.

01:24:26.860 --> 01:24:27.160
Yes.

01:24:27.320 --> 01:24:30.380
And iPod Linux, like Apple limits how you,

01:24:30.540 --> 01:24:31.800
the quality of the recording,

01:24:32.300 --> 01:24:33.240
but with the iPod Linux,

01:24:33.340 --> 01:24:34.820
you can change that to whatever you want.

01:24:35.240 --> 01:24:36.280
Right, which is what he's saying.

01:24:36.360 --> 01:24:36.980
Which is, that's it.

01:24:37.040 --> 01:24:37.180
Yeah.

01:24:37.460 --> 01:24:38.880
Straight answer, simple question,

01:24:38.960 --> 01:24:39.800
two episodes ago.

01:24:40.060 --> 01:24:41.860
Was that so fucking hard to get an answer?

01:24:41.960 --> 01:24:42.480
Why was that?

01:24:43.500 --> 01:24:43.840
Ugh.

01:24:44.020 --> 01:24:44.780
Anyway, whatever.

01:24:44.960 --> 01:24:46.500
Thank you, Digital Galileo, for that.

01:24:47.160 --> 01:24:47.780
You're wrong, man.

01:24:48.000 --> 01:24:48.200
Yep.

01:24:48.980 --> 01:24:49.800
All right, well, Drew,

01:24:49.800 --> 01:24:51.240
help me close out the show.

01:24:51.280 --> 01:24:51.640
What do you say?

01:24:52.420 --> 01:24:52.980
All right, buddy.

01:24:53.980 --> 01:24:55.740
I'll go ahead and give some shouts.

01:24:56.100 --> 01:24:58.460
Shouts to, let's see, to Viatti,

01:24:58.460 --> 01:24:59.680
I hope I'm pronouncing that right,

01:24:59.780 --> 01:25:00.280
and Willikin.

01:25:00.520 --> 01:25:02.160
Both of them sent in some email,

01:25:02.360 --> 01:25:03.380
so thank you for those.

01:25:03.380 --> 01:25:06.140
And to our first guest, Seal,

01:25:06.560 --> 01:25:08.340
which leads into the site of the week,

01:25:08.440 --> 01:25:11.400
which is piracydocumentary.com.

01:25:11.820 --> 01:25:12.840
Now, Drew, did you have any shouts?

01:25:13.480 --> 01:25:14.580
I have two, actually.

01:25:14.820 --> 01:25:16.640
One shout out to the people at CarolinaCon,

01:25:17.060 --> 01:25:19.080
who's awesome meeting Telco Bob and all the crew.

01:25:19.380 --> 01:25:20.040
Yeah, I forgot.

01:25:20.180 --> 01:25:21.280
You know, we don't have time to do that.

01:25:21.860 --> 01:25:24.240
Next episode, we're going to do some CarolinaCon talk.

01:25:24.980 --> 01:25:27.000
Anyway, so thank you to all you guys for putting that on.

01:25:27.000 --> 01:25:29.020
And the second one is to Decoder,

01:25:29.640 --> 01:25:30.860
because talking about that abacus

01:25:30.860 --> 01:25:33.420
was the funniest fucking thing I've heard in a long time.

01:25:33.620 --> 01:25:35.300
Decoder's so freaking funny.

01:25:36.120 --> 01:25:37.840
Yeah, I liked slipping that in there.

01:25:37.880 --> 01:25:38.840
That was pretty fun stuff.

01:25:39.580 --> 01:25:40.600
All right, so, yeah,

01:25:40.680 --> 01:25:42.560
piracydocumentary.com, site of the week.

01:25:42.980 --> 01:25:45.220
Email us, radio at binrev.com.

01:25:46.160 --> 01:25:47.640
Our closing music this week,

01:25:47.700 --> 01:25:49.380
this is actually one of my favorite songs,

01:25:49.540 --> 01:25:52.040
and one of the best songs I've heard in a long time.

01:25:52.160 --> 01:25:53.360
It's from, the group is called

01:25:53.360 --> 01:25:55.100
Futuristic Sex Robots,

01:25:55.100 --> 01:25:57.960
and the track is called Snakes on a Plane.

01:25:58.640 --> 01:25:59.840
For those of you who don't know,

01:25:59.940 --> 01:26:01.840
from the upcoming Snakes on a Plane movie,

01:26:02.400 --> 01:26:03.800
this is a song that they submitted

01:26:03.800 --> 01:26:05.560
hoping that it would make it to the soundtrack,

01:26:05.820 --> 01:26:07.860
and I don't think their decision's been made yet,

01:26:07.900 --> 01:26:08.620
but I hope it does,

01:26:08.680 --> 01:26:09.420
because it's awesome.

01:26:10.040 --> 01:26:11.040
So enjoy that,

01:26:11.460 --> 01:26:13.100
and go Brazil!

01:26:13.740 --> 01:26:15.120
World Cup fever, baby!

01:26:15.200 --> 01:26:16.480
Brazil's going to take it all!

01:26:16.480 --> 01:26:19.480
And that's going to be it,

01:26:19.620 --> 01:26:20.540
so, droops,

01:26:21.200 --> 01:26:24.100
I will make sure we have some time next week

01:26:24.100 --> 01:26:26.380
for CarolinaCon discussion,

01:26:26.640 --> 01:26:27.620
which has been in the forums,

01:26:27.740 --> 01:26:29.560
and something we need to spend some time on,

01:26:29.640 --> 01:26:30.360
but until then,

01:26:30.940 --> 01:26:33.240
we'll tell everybody that we will see them next week.

01:26:33.960 --> 01:26:35.240
Same hack time!

01:26:36.060 --> 01:26:37.440
Same hack channel!

01:26:37.440 --> 01:26:51.080
I was flying on a plane to California

01:26:51.080 --> 01:26:54.260
When I met this guy whose name was Sammy J

01:26:54.260 --> 01:26:57.320
Got a gin and tonic, sapphire bomb base

01:26:57.320 --> 01:26:59.960
Sammy said I prefer number 10 hickory

01:26:59.960 --> 01:27:02.840
After a few, he looks me right in the eye

01:27:02.840 --> 01:27:05.380
Keep it on the DL, I'm with the FBI

01:27:05.380 --> 01:27:08.240
I'm on this plane to escort this guy

01:27:08.240 --> 01:27:11.200
He could take down the mafia if he testifies

01:27:11.200 --> 01:27:14.000
And then I felt safe, like nothing could go wrong

01:27:14.000 --> 01:27:16.800
Oh shit, there's a snake coming out that bitch's thong

01:27:16.800 --> 01:27:19.400
I remember the time Nas spoke to me

01:27:19.400 --> 01:27:22.260
He said life's a beat, and damn you deep

01:27:22.260 --> 01:27:25.020
I'm down on my drink, getting ready to die

01:27:25.020 --> 01:27:27.660
But Sammy J stands up and says not tonight

01:27:27.660 --> 01:27:29.200
I got a job to do

01:27:29.200 --> 01:27:30.580
Enough is enough

01:27:30.580 --> 01:27:33.340
I've had it with these motherfucking snakes and stuff

01:27:33.340 --> 01:27:34.940
Gonna get this guy to court

01:27:34.940 --> 01:27:36.160
Safe and sane

01:27:36.160 --> 01:27:39.000
I want these motherfucking snakes off this motherfucking plane

01:27:39.000 --> 01:27:42.120
At this point I passed out after I'm being full of Xanax

01:27:42.120 --> 01:27:44.760
And when I woke up, we were safe in LAX

01:27:44.760 --> 01:27:47.320
Snake was on the plane

01:27:47.320 --> 01:27:49.620
We got snakes up on a plane

01:27:49.620 --> 01:27:52.880
Snake was on a plane

01:27:52.880 --> 01:27:53.880
We got snakes

01:27:53.880 --> 01:27:56.080
Snakes on a motherfucking plane

01:27:56.080 --> 01:28:09.600
I went to the bathroom to make us think

01:28:09.600 --> 01:28:12.600
When this motherfucking snake came up through the sink

01:28:12.600 --> 01:28:15.140
I'm gonna fight to hell, no time to think

01:28:15.140 --> 01:28:18.180
Gotta get to the cart and have another drink

01:28:18.180 --> 01:28:20.980
I'm taking every tube and inside every pipe

01:28:20.980 --> 01:28:23.600
How could this be the end of my life?

01:28:23.600 --> 01:28:26.160
If airport security has let me bring a knife

01:28:26.160 --> 01:28:28.160
I could make it home alive to my best friend's wife

01:28:28.160 --> 01:28:29.340
My best friend's wife

01:28:29.340 --> 01:28:31.380
They're coming up through the floor

01:28:31.380 --> 01:28:34.760
I got bit on my hand and I'm feeling sore

01:28:34.760 --> 01:28:37.620
Unhinged to try to take in my head

01:28:37.620 --> 01:28:40.600
I whispered it was Jennifer Connelly instead

01:28:40.600 --> 01:28:43.120
Snake was on the plane

01:28:43.120 --> 01:28:45.420
We got snakes up on a plane

01:28:45.420 --> 01:28:48.720
Snake was on a plane

01:28:48.720 --> 01:28:49.680
We got snakes

01:28:49.680 --> 01:28:51.840
Snake's on a motherfucking plane

01:28:51.840 --> 01:29:05.660
What if your dick was as big as the ocean?

01:29:05.660 --> 01:29:08.540
It'd be the only snake not encroaching

01:29:08.540 --> 01:29:11.280
On your seat when you get them free nuts

01:29:11.280 --> 01:29:14.080
Anacondas chomping, all the fly butts

01:29:14.080 --> 01:29:16.700
When I looked around, wish I'd taken the train

01:29:16.700 --> 01:29:19.600
There were snakes all over the motherfucking plane

01:29:19.600 --> 01:29:22.460
Or better yet, snakes in your brain

01:29:22.460 --> 01:29:25.180
Puts be racing like it's smoking cocaine

01:29:25.180 --> 01:29:26.620
Plane stacked with snakes

01:29:26.620 --> 01:29:27.980
The flight's non-stop

01:29:27.980 --> 01:29:30.760
I got more butts than a cigarette shop

01:29:30.760 --> 01:29:33.460
Just another day on the TWA

01:29:33.460 --> 01:29:34.980
Sucking out prison

01:29:34.980 --> 01:29:36.400
Don't say that I'm gay

01:29:36.400 --> 01:29:38.940
Snake was on a plane

01:29:38.940 --> 01:29:41.280
We got snakes up on a plane

01:29:41.280 --> 01:29:44.540

01:29:44.540 --> 01:29:45.500
We got snakes

01:29:45.500 --> 01:29:47.700
Snakes on a motherfucking plane

01:29:47.700 --> 01:30:00.060
Hop on the plane

01:30:00.060 --> 01:30:01.500
Flight 121

01:30:01.500 --> 01:30:04.280
Get my big ass to the robot show, son

01:30:04.280 --> 01:30:07.080
Find my seat, first class, settle in

01:30:07.080 --> 01:30:09.860
Somewhere to swingin' like she knows recycle bin

01:30:09.860 --> 01:30:12.720
Bring a double rum and meet me in the can

01:30:12.720 --> 01:30:15.640
Yo, Coax, hurry up with that shit, man

01:30:15.640 --> 01:30:18.280
This is finest bitch, I'm a dude in the booth

01:30:18.280 --> 01:30:21.220
Get up in that shit like a ninja pussy's hoot

01:30:21.220 --> 01:30:23.920
Work that shit hard, leave a bitch screamin'

01:30:23.920 --> 01:30:26.680
Little did I know there's a grip of snakes steamin'

01:30:26.680 --> 01:30:29.440
Fuck a bitter in the ass, man, that's whack

01:30:29.440 --> 01:30:32.500
Left the ground to playa, now I'm a necrophiliac

01:30:32.500 --> 01:30:34.740
Snake was on the plane

01:30:34.740 --> 01:30:37.060
We got snakes up on a plane

01:30:37.060 --> 01:30:39.100
Snake what?

01:30:39.480 --> 01:30:40.280
On a plane

01:30:40.280 --> 01:30:41.400
We got snakes

01:30:41.400 --> 01:30:43.440
Snakes on a motherfucking plane

01:30:43.440 --> 01:30:44.660
Snake what?

01:30:45.040 --> 01:30:45.940
On the plane

01:30:45.940 --> 01:30:48.100
We got snakes up on a plane

01:30:48.100 --> 01:30:50.340
Snake what?

01:30:50.580 --> 01:30:51.440
On a plane

01:30:51.440 --> 01:30:52.500
We got snakes

01:30:52.500 --> 01:30:54.600
Snakes on a motherfucking plane

01:30:54.600 --> 01:30:55.600
Blame!

01:31:05.600 --> 01:31:07.600
Blame!

01:31:11.600 --> 01:31:13.600

01:31:14.600 --> 01:31:15.600
