Trent had to have know that the people who can edit effectively, re-code or work such massive raw video files vs. the amount of NIN obsessives who will try and download it regardless of the absurd file size is like 1 in 5,000.
I think the entire thing is pointless unless someone can edit the movies into like 12gb 1080p mkv or x264 encodes. That would be huge, but at least it would be something most people realistically could download.
Pointless? There is nothing pointless about it. Trent is giving us an opportunity to have "something we can never have". As I recall, the whole point was to flip the proverbial bird to those bastards that seek to suppress and control the release of artistic material....Trent's material. I would do the same thing and wouldn't care if I uploaded 1TB of material for fans to download. The files sizes are not absurd, it's much more important that the resolution of the audio and video be preserved regardless of who has the patience and current Technology to download the files.
