Dear all,

just about a week ago, we announced, presented and launched
a movie database that we have recently developed. Today, we
would like to extend the invitation to a larger audience.

The URL is: http://0xdb.org. To enable all of its features,
you will need a registration code. You can either apply for
one on the site, or go to: http://piratecinema.org/0xdb.

Alternatively, you can also access the database locally, at
our space in Tucholskystrasse 6, in Berlin, Tuesday through
Thursday, from 3 to 6 pm, or by appointment.

We have already found a <1> couple <2> of <3> articles that
will give you an idea what this database is all about. Feel
free to contact us if you need more information.

All the best,

Jan Gerber and Sebastian Luetgert
