Miguel from Newera actually commented on the UK thread, he linked me to the same DVD Sales site, so I editted the post to include a link for those who'd like to buy the DVD. Watched it from start to finish last night... really thoroughly enoyed it!
this is what he said:
"We made 3 movies on Japanese car culture, some of which took as much as a year to put together, edit, produce, subtitle, etc + flying Steve to and from Japan several times to film each DVD.
Each production cost well over 15,000 GBP to make.
Although many GTROC members bought DVD's, as well as other car clubs & customers of Duke Video sadly today's culture of sharing videos illegally meant the investment in time & money we put in to make good quality DVD's was never recouped from sales - so after making 3 DVD's we couldn't warrant investment in making further productions.
Steve Brooks went on to make other excellent quality short (Vimeo) videos using modern SLR cameras - of the UK drift scene, etc. but has recently knocked it on the head again. Really bugs me when people think it's OK to steal intellectual property. The end result is the true enthusiasts lose out.
Had neweramedia.com received the support it deserved, it would still be making quality DVD's of Japan's best events and street scene in Japan today."
