A visitor of the Dubroom told
us, how she saw the video while in
Jamaica. Since she knows some of them personally,
she came to know that the youths who "eagerly
participated" in the film, were all paid $20
for their cooperation.
"Hear-say", was the initial response
of the producer when I asked him about this
particular fact. "Ethical", he said,
after being asked again. But he continued to call
it "hear-say" and said he had no time to
deal with it since he "wasn't a talk show
host"...
Apparently, though, he had time to write to the
Dubroom, even to find out the email address, only
to call us names ("Pirate Rastas") and
threaten us to spread false rumors about us
uploading material to Google Video.
The producer of the video refused to answer the
question if he sent such threatening letters to
every site that may have his video embedded. After
all, there is no (legal) reason to do so. When the
uploaded video truly is a "pirated
copy", you should write to Google Video and
not to sites that have Google video's embedded.
Besides, he was responding to an email that was
not sent by me or from the Dubroom, with the topic
"Pirate Rastas". He knew the Dubroom's
email address as well, since he informed me that
the contact page wasn't working and wrote directly
to one of the Dubroom email addresses.
Now, was that video uploaded to Google by or
in connection with the Dubroom? NO. If you ever hear
so, you know where the rumor came from.
It came from a guy who is more interested in
making money than in spreading information. A guy
who is more interested in spreading false rumors
than in being happy with a positive review.
A guy who "co-incidentally" writes to
the Dubroom exactly at the time when his video is
discussed and information comes to the surface
that puts his work in, let's say, a different
light and perspective.
He wrote me, that he was only familiar with
that page on the Dubroom that had the video
embedded. Was he not even familiar with the
review? Was he not aware of the things that
surfaces on the Dubroom Message Boards?
He said, no... But can you believe someone who
privately announces to be willing to spread false rumors
for money?
Nuff Said.
