Most Permaculture DVDs seem to come from Australia or Europe. Americans who want to purchase copies have to pay shipping fees that make it prohibitive to order only one or two DVDs at a time and furthermore most of these DVDs are encoded for other regions so they must be viewed using a computer or a region-free DVD player.
Have Geoff Lawton, Sepp Holzer, or any of the other producers of these DVDs ever considered licensing their content to an American distributor? That way the distributor could create new copies with DVDs specified for North America with ISBNs. The other benefit to having an official American production is that it would greatly simplify the process for libraries adding Permaculture DVDs to their collections and make them available on Amazon.com so that Paul and/or Permies could have affiliate links.
Thanks for reading!
