Mike Allen's videos
Yo !

I was going through my old VHS tapes and moved some stuff over to DivX. It includes Mike Allen's "Radioactive", "Anestesia" and "Nobody Like Me". I would love to put them online, but not sure if anybody will mind. Please let me know if it's not ok, otherwise i will follow "ask for forgiveness, not permission" motto Smile

There are also copies of Extra episodes with WTC and ESB jumps, and first building jumps in Moscow in '95.

If you want a pirate copy while i sort it out, please let me know Wink

bsbd!

Yuri.

I think Marah has the rights to Mike's videos, so you probably should touch base (no pun intended) with her first.

The last time this came up Marah asked that her Uncle Mike's videos not be put online. She's also working on a film that will iinclude all that stuff . . .

Please don't put them online, I will do it after my film comes out gladly. You are welcome to make copies and I would also be glad to send copies.
Thanks Marah

Re: [outrager] Mike Allen's videos
The person you'd want to speak with would be me and I prefer it not be released on the Internet. This was Mikes and my project from 84-92 and Mike and I are the recognized copyright holders where this material received first copyright notice from multiple television airings on MTV Sports. I'm in the process of trying to reassemble the work because after his death it developed legs but I did publish one of our last videos recently on YouTube as a tribute and get well video to Randy Harrision. Enjoy

The video on YT is awesome, I really dig that old school shit!

Re: [NickDG] Mike Allen's videos
apologies to Nick, and others, but I chose to split off the general copyright discussion into this thread.

I think Mike, Marah, and Bryan deserve that.

no matter how much you enjoy Mike's work, please do not violate the copyright. Mike may have passed on, but both Marah and Bryan think they retain copyright. neither wants the work distributed without permission.

let's keep the specifics here and the general copyright discussion in the other thread. (unfortunately, some posts I'd like to have kept here ended up there.)

Do not distribute artistic material that you did not create. People who create original artistic content in any form deserve at the very least the right to choose how their respective work is distributed to the public. Period.

thank you.

I received a lengthy PM from Bryan S. he believes he is the proper copyright owner, not Marah.

I have no personal opinion.

NEITHER Marah nor Bryan wish the video to be released on the internet. so, everyone should Mike Allen's work alone.

It was a PM and not for board discussion!!!!! But now that you put an interpretation of our private conversation on the board let me say, "we've worked it out and we will be looking out for each other." It might appear I have more to contribute to her project than the original footage Marah had, so these things tend to have a positive outcome when mutual interests merge. So if the fact that I'm sitting here today digitizing footage for Marah is an indication of cooperation I'd say its all worked out now.

So for the board let me say "Marah has every right to use the footage as she pleases." I know Mike would have wanted it this way and she now has my complete support as well.

If you know of someone trying to produce some new BASE art please try and help provide them the eyes to keep a lid on the project so it doesn’t just get uploaded to the world unless they choose that path.

I've got to go and I have very little time to accomplish my aim today. I wish everyone well, be safe.

Bryan

I'm happy they have worked things out to restore the best of Mike's footage.

I'm still left wondering who any third party should contact if they desire to use the footage.

Re: [The Pick] Mike Allen's videos
So do I Pick. He was really our only "almost Buddist" and was so Non Judgemental. Pic, give me a call if Randy and I can figure out some special jump.
