Settle down Hanna. The film maker is a nice young lady (POV - My Perestroika . Bio | PBS) and is trying to recoup some $.
If YOU had filmed your trip and made a documentary, would you want to earn back the money invested or would you go for a loss?

I PAID to watch the film from a combination of cable fees to WGBH-TV AND my personal yearly donation to the Public Broadcasting System.

If you want to be a thief, it's on Pirate Bay. I'll steal some Yngve Malmsteen and ABBA or some other art from Sweden. Is that fair? What if I sold your description with photos of your trip? How would you feel? Violated? Violation of Copyright Laws?

Or you could support independent artists BY PAYING to see what they have done. Do you sneak into concerts and clubs?

If you STOLE a pen and ink drawing, jewelry or a sculpture (even a sundial) OR THE CREATIVE INTENT I had made as an artist, I'd be quite upset.

You get paid for your job, there is no reason other people shouldn't get paid for theirs.
