The first two videos I've tried "Bowling for Columbine" and "American Autumn" did not have valid videos on youtube. They'd been removed. Just an FYI that if I was a first time user of your site and this happened after two vid's I'd likely leave. Just a heads up.
I still haven't automated detection of broken links/embeds so its a time consuming, manual process at the moment, which is far from ideal so I appreciate your heads up. Fixed Bowling for Columbine but couldn't find a working stream for American Autumn, sorry.
...so that means that your "free" documentary library is actually "documentaries that are being streamed until the copyright holder takes them down." Correct? There are tons of free documentaries out there, many hosted on their own sites. It would be to your advantage to focus on them and then link to Hulu/Amazon/iTunes/Netflix for the ones that aren't actually being shown free. ...especially if you're going to ask for donations.
Thank you for the feedback. There are already quite a few free documentaries (look for the yellow free tag) on Lucid Tree. But as I said this is my personal selection. The point was never to make a general documentary site, it was (is) to share content that I feel is pertinent and of value. As for the source of the streams, if they are already out there, why not aggregate them into one, easy to navigate, ad free place? The website has been up for a year and I have yet to receive a donation. As I said in the comment above, I'm not asking for donations as much as I am showing the support for crypto-currency.
