That site says: “After June 30, 2016, we will no longer distribute this series on DVD, and the videos will no longer be available online.” Anyone know why, or if they plan to do anything else with the videos?


An explanation is given here: http://scaapt.org/archives/1286

> "You may ask why the series is being retired. The original producers (Intelecom) do not have the staff or the information available to locate all the third party rights holders of the additional footage and rights to that footage has expired. Therefore, it must be taken out of distribution."

I imagine that unless unknown rights-holders pull them off YouTube (as they apparently haven't yet...) then it will still be available some places.

The above page also notes the availability of https://www.learner.org/courses/physics/ which includes 11 videos.


Our intellectual property system gets in the way again. Why don't all the limited government, anti-regulatory people complain about this?
