This is an excellent question. I think it's been discussed before but
what do hackers do better than discuss things ad infinitum?
Hackers are people, too. As such, stories are of interest to hackers.
In some ways, stories seem almost as on topic as firing up your favorite
hex editor. Not on
I think if we had a recurring show where people reviewed an audio book,
there is no reason why we couldn't have a show where someone did a movie
review. Personally I don't think the movie being reviewed would have to be
"free", but that's just my opinion. I think a review of free movies, low

I don't see a reason why it couldn't. Certainly, it wouldn't bother me.

I think this is of interest to hackers. Certainly is to this one, anyway.
I agree with your solution to defining 'free'. If you can find it in a place
that claims to be doing due diligence in determining that the film's creators
intend it to be available for $0 then it's good to go. And if some

Granted I haven't contributed an episode in a few months but what do
movies have to do with hackers?
I don't mean to be a stick in the mud, general inquiry. I have no
strong feelings one way or the other about the idea.

That's a very good point. If a movie is available from a public domain source
then it's reasonable to request that the host identifies that source. Otherwise
it is simply a movie recommendation (or possibly the opposite) and it is up to
the HPR listener to decide how, and from where, to obtain a

That's a good question. I gue
Hi Lostnbronx
How strictly do you feel the term "free" should be interpreted? I'm sure most
of us know how to get hold of movies for free as in beer, even if they are not
necessarily 100% legitimate in terms of all the copyright legalities. Remember
these vary from country to country, so an HPR

I think there was a film review series on HPR a while back that was a
group chat thing. That's a real hassle to edit (at least, I find it to
be). I'm more
This is cribbed from a letter I sent to Ken, and he suggested I might
want to run it by the list.
I had an idea for an HPR series. As you might recall, among the many
podcasts he did, Lord Drachenblut had one called "Ten Buck Review",
wherein he reviewed movies from the bargain bin at Wal-mart tha
