I agree. Some people don't want donations and like to leave private matters...well private. I know some find that hard to believe, but its true. I'd say just ask him if he wants donations or if he wants any sort of his private life exposed. He hasn't asked for any sort of donations making me think he might not want it. If he says no, well then just continue on with your project if you'd like. You could also raise money for another charitable cause. I'd say if you went that route you  might want to only grow edibles if you get my drift (or just donate the money anonymously). I post on another Message board where people donate and raise 20,000-25,000 to a child's terminally ill foundation each christmas (people get other message boards to help), but considering the nature of this board you might not want to leak this out too far into the internet. It could bring unwanted attention.

Alright, I'm not even gonna finish readin the posts before handling this one...

First, "private matters".  If I'm not mistaken, I didn't spy or tape phone-calls to find any of these matters out.  If I remember correctly (seems like I can almost remember the thread this post was in, even) I believe it might have been *gasp* RR himself who make these "private matters" public info for everyone here.  Think on that before accusations in my direction.

Second, where the hell does a "Video Tek DVD" become "Let's talk about RR's personal life."  I never said, led anyone to believe, hinted toward or insinuated anything of the sort, and any remarks overlooking that fact are nothin more than an attempt to stir shit.

Third, you're right on one point.  He never asked for donations.  What he DID ask was for what was *rightfully* his.  Don't consider this a donation.  Consider this my attempt (and the attempts of those with the experience and who give a fuck) to take it upon ourselves to not only help this communities current and future members, but to replace what's stolen by 90% who post here. 

Fourth, if you want to think of it like that, we'll do it this way.  Everyone can help me make this video, and the money'll be MINE.  And no one will tell me how the fuck to spend MY money.  I'll give it to whoever, whenever I want to.  If I choose to give it to RR, then that's what I'll do.

Finally, the "unwanted attention..."  I don't think this site is any more private than any other site.  Last I knew, the internet was almost, slightly close to being on the edge of... nearly... PUBLIC.

I also thought the initial point of the project was to raise some sort of money to RR...
I really don't know where you got point two from? I'm...confused by it....
You really just wanted to blow that out of proportion for no reason or to start shit...

P.S.I was just saying you might want to attract less notice from a certain variety of farm yard animal that has a tail, eats shit, and rolls in dirt. You get my drift?

My original intent was to produce a follow-up DVD with the above content on it.  However, the cost of professional replication via glass masters, the cover artwork, the disk artwork, and the cost of another UPC code, copyright registration, etc., is simply too high to get ever my money back, when illegal downloaders steal 100 of my videos for every one that gets sold.  As I said in the other thread, when that situation changes, I might do it.  Until then, those who feed the torrents are serving to keep information and new teks bottled up, rather than spreading knowledge.

your withhold information and teks because some people choose to not buy your dvds? Im a firm believer they information should be for the lower class not just the upperclass, what you have to understand is not everybody pirating your dvds is a rich person who can afford to buy your dvd, most are people who want the information but cannot afford it. It seems like a disservice to the community as a whole because some people chose not to buy the dvd, it shouldn't always be about money. If you have new teks, why not share them? instead of just saying you can't possibly make money on it so your just going to bottle it up.

No disrespect meant, just my $.02

I would like to stress though if you are going to make a video tek on a topic you should make it the definitive video tek and do added research and instruction that could assist people in using alternate methods and explains some of the more interesting dynamics. I'm sure we can always do pre-posts on the subject and ask for opinions before we call it a finished product.
