People like these dvd people can ruin the athmosphere for all of us. FYI an email from the Philly Organizers:
"We have some unfortunate news to report, and we need your help.
During assembly at Lemon Hill, a video production company called WAPtv (Wild About Philly) shot footage of a number of riders. As far as we know, no one was filmed without permission. WAPtv has produced and is selling a DVD of their footage.
We have seen this DVD and we feel that its content is not in the spirit of our event, and that the riders filmed were not informed that this video would be for sale publicly.
We have sought out volunteer legal assistance in order to halt the sale of this video. The next step for us is to identify those amongst you who are willing to pursue this on an individual basis. If you know you were recorded by WAPtv and do not wish to have your image distributed commercially, please reply to this email with your contact information and full name, include your telephone number please. Someone from the PNBR team will contact you via telephone and discuss the details. If you are unsure that you were filmed, or were not filmed, please do not respond to this email, we may be able to use your help, but we are going to start with riders who were filmed by WAPtv and may be included in the DVD for sale.
Do not reply to this message seeking comment from PNBR on this issue, or for any information regarding WAPtv or the above mentioned video."
