Research re Bootleg Copies of the Original Star Wars - Blast From the Past ... http://j.mp/eDd9ZB (This message on Google Buzz) - - - With so much controversy surrounding the topic of film piracy and the Internet, I suppose the following was inevitable, looking back to the time when bootleg copies were anything but digital in nature! Just got one of the stranger queries I've seen in a while. Someone is researching the subculture of very early bootleg copies of the original Star Wars, and contacted me when Google revealed this posting of mine: "The Betamax Lesson: For YouTube and Others, Does Video Quality Matter?" - http://j.mp/fKcZyc (Lauren's Blog) Now I'm wracking my brain trying to remember the details of the very first bootleg copy of SW I ever saw -- on monochrome reel-to-reel half inch Sony videotape -- about 1000 years ago or so, not in a galaxy far, far away. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Google Buzz: http://bit.ly/lauren-buzz Quora: http://www.quora.com/Lauren-Weinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com
