A group of file-sharing activists is practicing a little civil disobedience of its own in order to bring the documentary series Eyes on the Prize to a wider audience.

As Wired News first reported, Eyes on the Prize, the 14-part series chronicling the civil rights movement, can no longer be broadcast on television and has never been released on DVD because of copyright restrictions. […]

Downhill Battle enlisted the help of a group called Common Sense Releasers to digitize the series Eyes on the Prize and convert it to MPEG-4 format for distribution on the internet. The group hopes people will organize community screenings of the series around the country.
