Did someone mention online documentaries?

Ah more on the delightfully ambiguousness of YouTube and the ways it can be used. Online documentaries are documentaries created by users with basic camera and film editing skills, with the intention of providing information on a product, place, or idea. The reason many people turn to online documentaries is because of all of the 'red tape' which surround professional documentaries in terms of funding and their distribution. The main reason for this 'red tape' is to prevent misleading or offensive information being readily produced and distributed by small name people in big productions that persuade people to believe what it is they are showing them without having all of the facts or having them correct. Many different types or people or groups use online documentaries and for just as many reasons. Some might do it because they are opposed to the industry or what it stands for, others might do it for political reasons, and others still might do it for personal reasons such as to get onto a day time talk show, or to gain revenge against someone.
Online documentaries are a simple and effective way for people to get their voices heard and to use their right to the freedom of speech (but in many cases we do often wonder if those rights should have boundaries. That's right I'm talking to all you racists, and other derogatory persons who put your slanderous filth all over the web and attempt to shove your opinions in the faces of decent people. My opinion is that you are entitled to your opinion, provided you don't attempt to beat me over the head with it! Because then you are violating my right to have MY own opinion!) The reason so many individuals and groups use online documentaries to get their message out there is that it is simple and, thanks to things such as YouTube, it can reach large audiences quickly. Agencies like Greenpeace began recording their rallies and activist events with online documentaries, before progressing into proper documentaries, though they still do post them online on the free medium sites such as YouTube and their own web page for the masses to view in an easy way. Another example of an online documentary is The Thinking Atheist, whom creates video documentaries of religions and their beliefs (among doing other things), and talks of what they find to be the flaw in them. Their website has many such documentaries and even a YouTube page which constantly receives criticism from religious persons who object to his beliefs and to their beliefs being shown 'out of context' (the words of the religious persons not the Thinking Atheist nor mine)
