Press release:


BearShare File-Sharing Service and the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy Partner Online to Reach Teens Nationwide
MIAMI BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 5, 2004: Free Peers Inc., publishers of the BearShare file-sharing client, is partnering with the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy to focus the attention of teens on the importance of avoiding too-early pregnancy and parenthood. Millions of BearShare users will have the opportunity to download ten videos, created by film students conducted by the National Campaign and MediaLiquid, LLC. Designed to educate teens about teen pregnancy and how to reduce the chances of becoming pregnant, the partnership coincides with the May 5th National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy.

In conjunction with this news, BearShare is launching a new "Peer Service Announcement" program for cause marketers and political organizations of all shapes, sizes, and opinions, offering them free "peer time" on the BearShare networks similar to traditional PSA programs in the television radio and print media. Like a PSA in radio and television, BearShare will enable these organizations to share their messages with the BearShare audience in audio, video or flash formats. Users will be able to download the messages only from within the BearShare client.

"We are excited and proud to share with our users messages from all cause organizations at no cost. We recognize how important it is for these organizations to reach their audience, but they do not always have the necessary funding. This new network provides an essential service as costs of television, radio, and print advertising continue to rise," cites Louis Tatta BearShare COO.

"We are excited about working with BearShare to reach our audience. The new peer-to-peer networks are an important and unique way to reach our teen audience where they spend much of their time online," says Kate Ghiloni, spokesperson for the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy.

To view the videos visit http://www.bearShare.com, download the BearShare client where you will find the videos.

Re: my dvx PSA commercial goes national.

I wondered about that nickname for a while, but eventually I figured out (I think) that when he says loser, he's not using it in the context of what the world thinks of as a loser, but rather in the context of "he who loses his life, for my sake, shall find it..."
 
Re: my dvx PSA commercial goes national.

something like that... :) but at the same time im just flat out calling myslef a loser. .. in bad english.. people waste too much energy and time trying to be cool.

hah! terry! hardly the comparison i would make :P i want to be the stain!
 
Re: my dvx PSA commercial goes national.

Yeah, that was a terrible attempt at trying to pay you a compliment.

I meant to say you are an awesome filmmaker and I am happy that you are one of the leaders of this community.
 
Re: my dvx PSA commercial goes national.

I am not sure what they were thinking in that contest. Your PSA was far superior both technically and on the message than the winner IMHO.

The winner used humor which is what I guess the judges wanted. Otherwise, I don't see it.
