PBS: Show us what you're good for!
As a public service, please release subtitled medium-resolution (360i) versions of your past programming to download, distribute, & display (as well as releasing public performance rights on DVDs) for non-commercial purposes, so that everyone can make use of this great public resource, appreciate what PBS has to offer, & understand the need to continue supporting Public Broadcasting.
Why is this important?
33 years ago the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) was created to provide quality educational programming to the American people; they have done so with many award winning series (see links below). Unfortunately, many of their best programs are no longer available, or are only accessible via commercial DVDs or streaming, which make them inaccessible to low-income & bandwidth-limited schools & families most in need of what PBS has to offer. Today their federal funding is under threat; we're asking PBS, as a public service, to release medium-resolution subtitled versions of their past programming to download, distribute, & display for non-commercial purposes, so that everyone can make use of this great public resource, & appreciate what public broadcasting has to offer.
