Street parts are far too sacred to be releasing them for free online -- that's the bottom line.
They're so sacred that nobody should ever have a hard copy of them? That's the best part of owning skate videos... being able to hold them in your hands and put them in the vcr, dvd player, etc. Any time someone uses phrases like "that's the bottom line" or "the fact of the matter is" clearly shows they have nothing else to back up what they're saying and are declaring their opinion a fact.
Every time I hear or read something new about Berra it always involves him justifying charging people for everything. I'm sure it's a matter of time before you have to "donate" to the berrics to even have full access to the site. And like someone else said, I hate how he acts like he's so far ahead of people and being different.

What else could someone like Berra do? He's gotta keep his shit flowing somehow; I don't think he ever envisioned how "powerful" the Berrics would become (who knows? maybe it was part of his 'master plan'?)
I feel you, it is lame that so much money is getting involved,
but that's what happens when admiration comes into play..
I don't think he's trying to be so different as he is trying to be smart about where this industry could end up.
Ultimately though, I agree, paying for this shit would take away all the fun. Sometimes, I just feel like that's all Berra and Koston want to do, is retain the FUN in skateboarding.. it's just getting far too serious these days.
