[Geysers] BBC special on Yellowstone

[Gary Einstein]

Gazers are at end of "summer".

I would strongly urge that a download converted to DVD _not _be sold by 
the GOSA store.  The DVD's are sold by both the BBC  
(http://www.bbcshop.com/Science+Nature/Yellowstone-DVD/invt/bbcdvd2858  
---not playable on a US dvd player) and Discovery channels who sell for 
profit and not be happy with a bootlegged copy for sale.

The links suggested are from viewers in England who recorded and 
uploaded to a file sharing site.  While it may be legal to save a TV 
show, it probably is not to turn it into a dvd and resale, even for a 
non-profit.

Perhaps the GOSA store can buy the discs from Discovery channel (the add 
on features including the one about Geyser Gazers should be bonus 
features on the American dvds) and sell them.

Or someone with GOSA "authority" can seek permission from either BBC or 
Discovery to post the Geyser Gazer feature on our website--I'm guessing 
they would give permission, especially if linked to a "buy the entire 
dvd here".  I will volunteer to edit and post if needed, but I lack the 
GOSA seal of approval to ask permission.

My 2 cents worth.
