The NFB has always held a strange place in my heart. On the one hand they provide the means for a lot of film makers to create and distribute their works. Without the NFB, many awesome little (and bigger) indie films wouldn’t see the light of day.

On the other hand they want $15 for a 10 minute VHS I wanted a few years ago. That right there meant I wasn’t going to see the film.

I can understand that people need to make some money, but I’m also glad that the NFB has realized that there are other ways to do so that don’t involve charging far too much money for an out dated technology. So it’s pretty damn awesome that they’ve started opening up their catalog for free, on the net, and totally embeddable to boot.
