Have you been in touch with the owners of these films Dingdong?
You need to ask them though. You’re probably right (they might just have lost the masters) but they’re their films and if they want them to be lost to obscurity that’s their choice.The Island is already on Bearcam’s YouTube channel.
Nice. Appreciated. Would also love to see Stick It again if u happen to find that one floating about
It’s quite likely these film makers will be ok with these films being posted up online but am I the only one feeling a bit uneasy about the “I’ll stick it up and see if it pisses someone off rather than ask” attitude seen here? Seems unnecessarily impolite.
I uploaded a really old obscure Ron Fawcett vid (body machine) up to youtube, then a few weeks later got some pissy email from the maker (not ron) and youtube took it down.

To be fair to the bloke he then posted it himself
I could have very easily just not posted this thread or said anything and kept the films in my private drive whereas all I wanted to do was share it with you all.

Interesting take. As a music producer, it would be a great compliment if someone uploaded my music. In fact, in the music sphere, artists who block their music from being uploaded on youtube are looked down upon. I'm no film maker by any stretch of the imagination but the little climbing video I recently made used 4 songs from different artists, all of which are copyrighted, but the artists allow free use on youtube.
