"Producer Eric D. Wilkinson has publicly thanked users of BitTorrent who have distributed the film without express permission, saying that it has lifted the profile of the film far beyond the financier's expectations;[5] he encouraged fans to purchase the DVD or donate.[6]"

Speaking of movies, VERY STRONG suggestion - great great film and a series to come soon (due to a successful crowd sourcing campaign).

Here's a nice alternative if you want restrictions off. https://proxtube.com/
Works every time in my case, though, USA copyright ban for a movie? Kinda funny! Smiley

Thanks for the try, but since ProxTube is apparently German-made and the proxy is in the U.S, it didn't work.
Maybe I will try Tor.

Thank you!!!  This was so nice. Would anyone mind sharing their Twitter addresses so I can send out a #FF? I've never felt welcome on Bitcointalk (a little scared, actually...) although it's been a long time since I've visited.

Thanks again!

Just sent you a DM via twitter.  This post is for confirmation.

What is wrong with this picture from the Electronic Frontier Foundation?




Yeah, I could probably search for a Bitcoin Address but they are trying to get my information to give them money.
This is sort of against what BTC represents so I decided to donate the $59 elsewhere, guess they don't get it.
But then again they do, as it took a huge gift to get them accepting BTC way back when and
now it is like they don't want it, or they prefer to wrap it up with ID.

Its about sharing

Done, and hey, I just donated some money to Nepal too on Friday and then had at least a couple nice miracles very soon after as today's journey somehow brought me to a Tibetan monastery Smiley

Coincidences seem like confirmations from the Universe (or call "it" what you will) of going in the "right" (or "wrong") direction, making the right "decisions", being with the right people, just plain being, etc. I've noticed that sometimes they come in waves (and may not let up) like when I started playing music last year.

Life is for sure interconnected (though our eyes deceive us and show constant separation) - But it is funny how it guides us where we need to go... I believe so.
And it is much more comfortable to get there not kicking and screaming.

BTW - I got into my passion of music, basically here, on these forums, thanks you know who. A little bit ironic, don't ya think?  Grin  

I like calling it "coincidance" Smiley

Have you watched Cloud Atlas yet?

I have had that film ready for over a year now and for some reason have put it off. Guess it will be in my near future.  Wink
And btw, there is a book called Coincidance.

Speaking of movies, VERY STRONG suggestion - great great film and a series to come soon (due to a successful crowd sourcing campaign).
Man From Earth - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGWs4bZn_5Q excuse the subtitles but it is HD.
This will start more coincidences...

Well I'm off to donate some money and a little bit more...

Error 404: there seems to be nothing here.
and ~~trust~~

I've often have been characterized by my friends, as a naive person. This is due to my norm to take people seriously whatever they throw at me. I always listen carefully but also take some time to judge if what they claim is valid or not after they finished. I wasn't always like that. I often had turned down people in the past, that I found incapable of presenting something that (from my point of view) they didn't know very well. Huge mistake. And then; something happened. It was this specific incident that came rushing into a Tuesday afternoon and unexpectedly changed everything.

Please take my word on it:

EVERY person is significant and has something to offer to you.

No matter if they look smart, fool, educated or not, poor or wealthy, beautiful or ugly, young or old, or whatever. Sometimes it takes a leap of faith from your part to look deeper on something that some random person -you've might never met before- has to say to you... Take the chance. Take the gift. Most of the times it may not change your life. But there's this one time, that it will certainly will... and it will truly matter.

I know that the above text may not touch everyone. For some it may sound like gibberish; I cannot blame you. I will indulge you though to take it seriously. It's a leap of faith. Or; if you prefer, a matter of trust.

Cheers.

Well said! Cheers Grin

I'm not sure that I can even buy you a beer with this BTC0.0084 (=$1,9488 does this even buy a beer where you live ?) but I can offer you one if you 'll ever manage to get yourself in Greece. I don't need any money back, you can keep it for the hassle I've put you into doing all this. Thank you for your service and for the chance you, vocain and Rpietila gave me to do some good.

Take care. Smiley

Thank you so much  Roll Eyes

Actually I must thank you for donating the money to help the people of my country Smiley
And Yes, Pictures Coming Soon Smiley
