Update: Sneak Peak (aka: Boo UMG)

You might have noticed that the soundtrack to our Sneak Peak isn't working. Here's the deal: Universal Music Group, the copyright holder for the Bob Marley song we used in the video, had the audio pulled from the embedded YouTube posting on grounds of copyright infringement.

Although we contacted UMG some time ago to inquire about using the song under Fair Use laws and precedents (which allow for the use of copyrighted works without permission under certain circumstances, including for educational and otherwise nonprofit, socially beneficial purposes), we never received any response.

We are currently reviewing our legal options during this little ordeal. But for now, we'll go out on a limb and say that we are extremely dissapointed with UMG's actions thus far.

Sneak Peak

In preparation for our mini-documentary about our experiences in Peru, we've been combing through the seemingly endless video footage we shot on the trip. It's actually been less of a chore than you'd think, since most of the footage is pretty entertaining in its own right and always brings back good memories.

Instead of holding out until the movie is finished in November, we thought we'd share a few of our favorite clips with you now. This is a video one of our students made to remind everyone of some of the best times we had at the Casa. Enjoy and stay tuned for the longer mini-documentary coming soon!
