The Go Open Television Series initiated by the Go Open Campaign (Meraka, Shuttleworth Foundation, Canonical and HP) was a world first. Dedicated to promoting open source software in South Africa, the 13 episode series was broadcast on SABC last year and showcased success stories, interviews with the top local and international pioneers, and the latest products and news from the open source world.

Larry Lessig was interviewed in episode 4 which was almost entirely dedicated to discussions around Creative Commons.

We were thrilled to hear recently that, in keeping with the philosophies of the Go Open campaign, it was announced recently that the entire series is available for download under a Creative Commons licence. The entire go_open series is now available to download via BitTorrent. The series has been broken into two BitTorrent files, containing mp4 encoded video, go-open-vol-1.torrent (ep. 1-6), and go-open-vol-2.torrent (ep.7-13) . The BitTorrent files are also hosted on Legaltorrents.com.

If you’re interested in getting a copy for your library, or your internet connection doesn’t allow you to download the large files, contact the Go Open campaign to buy a copy for R199.
