GAMBIA RIP-OFF

Richard wrote to me yesterday morning just before we left. 'They're ripping us off,' he said. Well, as those of you who know the boy Freeman will attest, he is of an excitable nature (cue a recording of Warren Zevon singing Excitable Boy) and has been known to get the bit between his teeth, but on this occasion he is right. Look at this:

This person has taken the first two parts of our 2007 film The Dragons of Africa directed and edited by me, and with music by Paul Whitrow, and is insinuating that it is his own work. He even writes:

'I am now in leagues with TSM Pictures, and they are gonna make a mod of this video. Hit it up when you get the chance.. 1 year ago '

I am not being deliberately obtuse as men of my age are wont to be, but I really have no idea what he is talking about. The only TSM Pictures I can find is a youtube channel featuring a (well done) excerpt from a kids production of The Little Mermaid and (apart from Quadrophenia and our very own Neil Arnold) I have no idea what `mod` means. Can someone please enlighten me?
