> In addition, I can't access the video - it says something about share/tweet

Yeah, you have to spam your friends with it in order to get the video.



Or share it only with yourself on Facebook.

Had they let me edit the tweet to something more reasonable without BIG CAPS (FREE!) letters I would have happily shared it with my friends and colleges. As it was, it wasn't the type of spam ad I'd like to be publicly associated with.


I've seen enough instances of this kind of thing now that I've got two facebook accounts - my real account and my spam account (just like I have two email addresses).


You have to share it to get it for free. You are free to purchase it privately after today.


Perhaps it's splitting hairs, but "have to" and "free" could be construed as being at odds with one another, in some contexts.

All things considered, it's not that high a price to pay, but it does feel like a bit of a bait and switch.


Further note: now it won't let me go back in and watch it again, it's asking for money. Oh well, I had already started downloading it, so I'll just do that.


Site crashed and I tweeted the big free and everything and I did not get a link to the video. It is not even in my app sumo account.
