Stealing Footage to Help Indie Docmakers

I just found a great post on the Miro blog from last week. The makers of doc­u­mentary Steal This Film have started a new pro­ject called Steal This Footage, in which they allow unfettered access to full-length inter­views and footage from their own film and encourage other film­makers to use it in their own pro­jects. For doc cre­ators on nor­mally min­is­cule budgets, this could open up a whole new way to create and share their work.

I’m not a film­maker, but I sense that this could really change things for a lot of people, both existing and poten­tial film­makers. What do you think?
