trails and tribble-ations

[Trekophile99]

can anyone tell me where I can get a copy of episode 506?
I never saw that episode

 

[Odo's_Bucket]

Fine it's gone. Hey op, look for it on youtube. It's there.

 

[DonIago]

Yay for copyright infringement.

 

[Odo's_Bucket]

I didn't upload it to youtube, I just found it when the op asked if anyone knew where to find a copy.

 

[DonIago]

I didn't say you infringed, but the video is almost certainly there without permission of the copyright-holder.

 

[Odo's_Bucket]

Who cares. Either watch it or don't.

Who cares. Either watch it or don't.

The board ownership & management might care, though. It's still not a good idea to post links to copyrighted material like this, regardless of who loaded it.

Hm. Since Youtube is owned by Viacom, and since Viacom has the rights to the Trek shows, I would've thought something like that would've been taken down.

I believe it is against board policy to post the link to the episode.

If I'm reading the OP correctly, why don't you just go and buy the DVD and watch it. It's DS-9 season 5 episode 5...

 

[Odo's_Bucket]

Fine it's gone. Happy now? I guess I'm the only person on the planet that visits youtube.

YouTube isn't owned by Viacom. YouTube is part of Google. Viacom, in fact, are currently engaged in a very large copyright lawsuit against Google.

EGADS!

Okay, guys. Everyone knows YouTube exists. It's no big secret and to pretend that it doesn't exist is ridiculous, when everyone on earth (except, apparently, the OP ) knows that you can watch just about ANYTHING on YouTube these days.

That said, it probably would have been better to not post a direct link, and just say something like "YouTube is Your Friend".

But either way, this thread has turned into a war of picking nits. Because I have seen TONS of posts all over this board - especially written by people outside the U.S. - who routinely watch newly aired episodes of U.S. shows on YouTube. I think the entire country of Australia, for example, watches most of their TV on YouTube, if you judge by posts made on this board over the years.

Anyway, thread closed as the whole discussion has become too ridiculous to contemplate.

Ah, I gatcha. I haven't been very up to date with the latest Youtube news.
