“BBS: The Documentary,” a digital movie by Jason Scott of Waltham, Mass
... 2˝ years of shooting and a year of editing,
... a loving stroll (at 5˝ hours, it doesn’t exactly gallop) through a
piece of tech nostalgia: the BBS, or computer bulletin-board system.

DVDs have begun flying out the door at $50 a shot,

With any luck, Scott will recoup the roughly $50,000 he has put into the
project since ...

... Scott is releasing the movie under a Creative Commons license, which
means you can copy bits of his movie, remix them, and sell the result at
will. "If anybody can make money by taking it and selling it cheaper,
then I am not selling it right," Scott said.
