Contemporary Dance Video Database

As you must already have noticed, we decided to share our videos via torrent. It's fast and most importantly totally free. For those who do not know how to use it:

* First you need to download and setup the torrent software. You might want to use different clients as well. http://www.bittorrent.com/

* Then you will click "Go to btjunkie" links in our posts. It will take you a subpage of btjunkie.com website, featuring the .torrent file of the related video. Landed, you will click "Download torrent", and download a file with .torrent extension.

* This .torrent file is like a tiny key that will connect you with users sharing the actual video file. You will double-click the .torrent file and it will open the torrent software you have setup before. A window will be opened in the software which reads "Add new torrent". Click OK.

* Now you only need to wait a little! You will soon be downloading the file, finally. After the completion of the download, you automatically begin to seed (upload) it for other users like you. We ask you to keep your torrent client open and uploading for a while, so that the file can be available for many users around the world.

Thank you!

Although the ethics behind uploading "somebody's work" to the internet without "permission" is highly debatable, our point is doing so, especially when the "work" in question is a performance video -live recording or movie version of the performance, is to help people reach and enjoy this rare material; in particular the people who live in a non-European country and are unable to have the chance to be live audiences. What is unethical, we think, is actually depriving the masses of these works of art while you have the means of transmission. We hope that the artists and all creative group behind these works would understand our excuse. We all love them. We all want to watch them. We are all ready to learn and to be fascinated upon the experience they give. We all appreciate their work. We all want them here and now.

All contributions to the database will be appreciated.
