G'morning

Cosmic182 · 8 Apr 2009 at 15:16

no one?

Does skyplayer cover the discovery channel?

Any other answers are probably illegal and therefore you're not likely to get them on this forum.

PK!

are films allowed to be copied if they've been released on DVD?

Ideal, i can afford to download the complete CSI back catalogue, but i can't afford to buy it.

Actually, no it's not.

Downloading programmes of any kind without the authorisation of the owners of said program is illegal.

But that doesnt mean you cant do it.

huh? it wouldn't be any different, divx, xvid, mpeg, etc. The codec used to rip the program doesn't make the slightest bit of difference to the breach of copyright.

so therefore if someone uses any sort of recording format, VCR, DVD etc to record TV it is illegal?

I can't tell if you're baiting me now.

Everybody knows you are allowed to record a program for the purposes of later viewing, but this copy must be destroyed/wiped within a resonable time.

IE, you couldn't record 6 months worth of BSG and watch it in one weekend, but you could record The Bill on wednesday and watch it on sunday.

It will be if you decide to distribute it.

Discovery have some pretty good programs but I've not heard of this one...

Are there any highlights of the program in youtube form? If some could post a couple, that would be rather tickety boo. Toodle pip!

Cosmic182 · 8 Apr 2009 at 22:05

if you have a look on youtube im sure there's some clips

its an amazing show, it's simalar to mythbusters, but imo better!, And i'd be interested about these episodes too

xb8browney · 8 Apr 2009 at 22:06

Did they do one with a 18 wheeler loaded with felled tress?

MikeHunt79 · 8 Apr 2009 at 22:44

I do like mythbusters, but they seem to repeat the same ones over and over...

I hope it's ok to post this, it has been broadcast afterall!

That's cool but pretty scary at the same time.
