BurzynskiMovie

I uploaded this video: http://vimeo.com/24821365 It played fine for the first few days, and now it will not play properly anymore - it's a total mess. I am also paying for the "PLUS" service. Why is this? Can't Vimeo handle high traffic? Link: http://vimeo.com/24821365

from the film's site (FAQ):

3. What was the outcome of the duplicate patents?

Given the confusing and convoluted nature of the Department of Health and Human Services filing "copy cat" patents of Dr. Burzynski's AS2-1—which commenced 17 days after they visited his clinic on October 4, 1991 and verified for themselves that "anti-tumor activity was documented", all the while using one of Burzynski's own scientists to file the patents—below is the official statement regarding this matter after consulting with Dr. Burzynski and his patent attorneys.

"It seems the entire criminal indictment was geared toward placing Dr. Burzynski in prison so he could not defend himself against the criminal theft of part of his discovery (AS2-1). While they did manage to patent PA (phenylacetate) which Dr Burzynski never patented, it also included PAG (phenylacetylglutamine) which was patented previously by Burzynski—however, his AS2-1 patents include both chemicals. Since Dr. Burzynski is a free man now, and even though the 'copy cat' NIH patents were approved, Burzynski can't really successfully sue the NIH or Elan until they actually 'act' on those patents by manufacturing and selling the substance. Right now, the only thing Burzynski can do is to ask the patent office for re-examination of the NIH patents. Frankly, Dr. Burzynski has spent enough time fighting, he just wants to put this behind him and continue developing his medicine and treating cancer patients."

Dr. Burzynski can't exactly walk in the front door asking the Department of Health and Human Services for the approval of his discovery for public use, while simultaneously knocking on their back door with a criminal indictment.

Ha - it's not coming down - do not worry, it was initially supposed to be a short period to promote it, but none of us expected this huge response. the film has been out for over a year.
