Hi,

First time posting on the board, my name's Matt!

Would posting a CD containing clips of animal cruelty be illegal? I often find people discard facts but pay attention to brutal and disturbing images.

Posting a CD of such things through someone's front door may prompt a view in the PC or DVD player.

Then again - knowing the paranoia of technophobes they'd probably think it was a trojan or blaster! ha.

Does anyone have any solid ideas that would essentially force people into watching how that food gets to their plate (forcing in a reasonable manner ofcourse).

You can't force people to watch anything they don't want to. The best thing would be to explain it to them and offer to show them hard evidence.

Distributing the CD would only be illegal if you obtained the content through a restrictive license that did not allow you to do so. A lot of content is publish with a free license and you may have the legal right to redistribute it.

Order a PETA DVD (like Meet Your Meat or Chew on This) and copy it. PETA doesn't copyright their material and actually encourage copying and distributing it. There's nothing wrong with leaving the DVDs at people's houses (just not in their mailboxes because it's illegal). If the DVD is unlabeled, people who may not willingly want to see it may watch it out of curiosity because they don't know what's on it. It's not forcing. You didn't tie them down and pry their eyes open to the video. They don't have to watch the DVD if they don't want. But there's nothing wrong with you passing them out.

If you want to be sure they watch it just write "our homemade sex tape" on the front.

It depends on the licence of the CD. Most AR footage that I've seen you are legally able to copy and distribute. Check the licence of the footage,

I disagree. You could be in trouble if, say, a child picked it up and popped it into the computer to see what it was.
