So, um, Mark... I'm into "information wants to be free" as much as the next kneejerk libertarian, really. I think our existing creative rights model and copyright laws are pathetically inadequate and incapable of dealing with modern technology and the ways we and our descendants will use data.
That said, you may be seen as promoting a slew of copyright violations here, so a few words to the effect of "if you like these movies, support the artists who made them" might be in order. I know you didn't post these to youtube, so you're not directly liable, but it's a thought.
I know you don't have an iota of malicious intent in your body. This was my gut reaction, and I'd be interested to hear your (and others') responses.
If any of these violate copyright I'd expect the hosting site (Youtube or whatever) to remove it altogether.
