With all due respect I'd dare ask how versed you are in organizing 
conferences, PR campaigns, or anything related. Releasing video 
recordings with a delay has been the policy of all recent conferences

People who are actively looking for the stuff will sure find it forever 
- just with a little delay at start, which I have explained why I find 
entirely reasonable.

With three a week we'll be done in five more weeks. Please explain why 
you find that unreasonable.
