none, thanks for sending me this review copy.

I was immediately confused, confounded, and intrigued by this thing.  I sat down and watched some bits and pieces, and... wow.

I wholly agree that trying to watch it all or even large portions of it in one sitting is not to be recommended.  But grabbing chunks of it and watching is like a fascinating trainwreck you can't turn away from.

I had to shut it off as it was giving my girlfriend and I both headaches before long.  But I will get back to it here and there.

There's never been anything like this, and it really made me do some deep thinking about copyright law and the possibilities of complete copyright freedom.  Think about having a day of intense web surfing where one link leads to another, and another, and another, and you keep learning and learning more which drives you onward to follow more links for more information to learn even further.  Now imagine doing that not with just text and the occasional multimedia bit, but doing that entirely with all of history's video segments linking to other video segments (something that would be impossible under current copyright climate).  That's what watching this made me think of: totally video-based internet surfing.

The one thing I wish could be changed was the inconsistent audio levels, which could be extremely jarring at times (even beyond the general jarring inherent to the whole beast!).  If there was some way to normalize that, it would be an improvement.  That's my constructive criticism.

Excellent job, none.  You'd have to be crazy to attempt something like this, and stark raving mad to actually complete such a thing.  Now you are truly a certified lunatic.
