Ouch. Well, I did say it was scary. I woudn't exactly consider GV and YouTube to be "fad sites"...there's scads of incredibly educational content available there for free. But I understand your issue. (MySpace is another matter.)
I have seen inappropriate content on You Tube.
Censoring kids access to the net is pointless and stupid; it's insanely difficult to do correctly, and the brighter kids already know how to beat it.
Unfortunately, you're going to get a lot of hysterical parents. Kids need to learn to be "streetwise" on the Net, just like they need to be on the real streets.
So, I'd be interested in a download link, as well, should one be available in a more commonly available format (like WMV or MPEG).
If somebody wants to host a 200mb file for free public download I'd be delighted to send them a copy. I'm sure neither my home DSL provider nor the small hosting provider who donates service to our club website would appreciate being the target of such.
I can do it if you're looking for space. I have a few hundred megs free on a 100Mbps feed.
