As far as the legality of things go, many of Carl’s ‘Cosmos’ has been floating around on YouTube/GoogleVideo and the like. Because it is deemed illegal, they always seem to get removed and then appear again.

Who is that benefiting? When you think about it, it’s allowing people to discover Carl’s work and learn… a much greater chance of doing so, too.

If someone wants to buy the entire collection, they WILL do so. I find it a bit petty that law says certain episode cuts and clips cannot be hosted on such sites. They are benefiting people by being there…

I recently guided someone to watch “Pale Blue Dot” (clip on YouTube) and I can only say, they are now looking at life in a different way.

That’s my take

Cabman, the music you’re talking about is from Vangelis’ “Heavan and Hell” album, from which the developers of Cosmos obtained the theme to the show.

Listen to the opening track of Pale Blue Dot episode one… the two folks before me linked to it. It’s also by Vangelis, off his Oceanic album.

I was thinking about buying the series a couple years back. I loved it when it was originally on and was truely inspired by Sagan. It was great to watch the first episode again, think I will buy it now.

The piano at the beginning and end always got to me. Was that created for the series or some great composistion I should know about?

YouTube and Google Video also have Cosmos online.

Just enter Cosmos plus a number (like Cosmos in the
search box to get the full episode, not just clips.

I think the series needs to be distributed as widely as possible.
Its information and messages belong to everyone. There’s a
whole new generation who needs to listen to Carl Sagan.
