and a great big booming voice from the sky decrees the following...
Dear Nate,
While we genuinely appreciate the kind words you have posted on your blog about the film "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room", on behalf of the film’s distributor and producers I must ask that you remove the film from your website immediately, as it is being streamed without proper authorization.
Thank you for your kind cooperation.
Best regards,
"Head Honcho"
Business & Legal Affairs

Now for those of you who don't know; the "Busines & Legal Affairs" department is also known as the "Quit ripping us off you piss-ant little blogger!" Department.
Well alrighty then Mr ever-so-gracious Corporate McKillJoy. But if Arnold's lookin' like he's leading in the polls going into the next CA Gubernatorial election, I might just make you ask me again. Something tells me if the Mr. "Head Honcho" has to ask me again, it will be in the form of a court order to cease and desist.
For those of you who still feel like checking out a great full documentary, be sure and check out the other Full Version Documentaries I have up including:
Sir, No Sir! and Votergate!
Apparently their legal departments are more interested in affecting world change for the better unlike Mr. McKillJoy above.
You ever wondered why media types still haven't figured out that "Open Source" is the best way to go. It would be the simplest thing in the world to set up a high-quality, pay-per-view webstream and they could extend the distribution reach of any production but they always seem to cling to out-dated and startingly short-sighted business models almost exclusively centered on DVD distribution.
A quick piece of advice from a web media consultant guys... You're business model is a dying model and the companies that don't start adapting their businesses to capiltalize on the demand for distributed mass web media are going to become extinct. They just won't turn into fossil fuel for greedy bastards to artifically trade in, twenty million years from now.

Simply one of the best movie/standup/lesson/documentaries I have ever seen. Robert is a brilliant and commanding presence and this is simply a MUST SEE piece - IRAQ FOR SALE - THE WAR PROFITEERS
Another spectacular documentary by Robert Greenwald. War is big business and evil men are getting filthy rich off the blood and sacrifice of our heroes - THE SECRET GOVERNMENT!
The ninety minute PBS Special with Bill Moyers about America's shadow government - Originally aired on PBS in 1987 - VOTERGATE!
Great documentary about the state of our election system in America - Full Version - PEACE, PROPAGANDA AND THE PROMISED LAND
Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land provides a striking comparison of U.S. and international media coverage of the crisis in the Middle East, zeroing in on how structural distortions in U.S. coverage have reinforced false perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - SIR, NO SIR!
An awesome movie giving an unvarnished look at the underground G.I. Movements around the world that ended the Vietnam War - Full Version - WAR MADE EASY
War Made Easy reaches into the Orwellian memory hole to expose a 50-year pattern of government deception and media spin that has dragged the United States into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq - Full Version - THE BIG BUY!
Comp movie and dissection of how Tom Delay raped the U.S. Congress - Full Version - IRAQ: THE HIDDEN STORY!
An excellent documentary about what the world's media is NOT showing you in Iraq - THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED!
An excellent and inside look at the attempted coup of Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez in 2003 - IRAQ'S MISSING BILLIONS!
A powerful documentary that aired on British TV about one major heist in the middle of what will likely go down as one of the worst crimes of this Century - ENRON - SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM!
What a story of hubris and greed
