I asked Greg@warp about the Warp videos at least, and he told me that they were all promos, so I guess that would be why they are so hard to get. but I dunno if other videos are the same or what. I reckon the reason why they are hard to get is because it's not mainstream. __ __\ \ / /_\ \ \_____/ , m7=
