Country Tracks on DVD
- Thread starter barbourdurham
- Start date
Sort of , I have an archive that i transfered from old vhs, far more than the 10 episodes you generally see online, i have about 35 or so,
Ill get them uploaded to dropbox or similar, its not exactly piracy as if they were on DVD, we would all have bought them
Actually it is piracy as the copyright to all the episodes is owned by the BBC...
I have removed a couple of posts that were going down the piracy route.
Generally speaking, the full episodes of BBC programs which may be found on Youtube are not there with the permission of the BBC. Pointing this out is fine, and if the programs are not available on DVD doing a search of Youtube is your best bet. Providing links to play lists is getting a little dodgy. Stating that it is your play list, or you have copied and published the files used in the play list definitely dodgy. Please don't offer or promote breach of copy right and IP piracy on this forum. All the BBC DVDs and VHS that I have bought have warnings at the start that the content is copyright and not for copying or redistribution. That the BBC have not released the programs on DVD is irrelevant to the law, its still piracy even if you would have bought it if it was available.
If anyone actually gets permission from the BBC to copy and redistribute, please take it to Tony before attempting to use BCUK as a distribution platform.
However, based upon this thread, which the OP probably found before posting again, permission seems rather unlikely.

Sorry for the downer folks, but your understanding is appreciated.

Please don't take this as a challenge, I understand the reasons behind your decision and stance on this ...but....
Is sharing piracy?
I mean , does it come under the "distribution" bit of law?
Just seems a little ridiculous that we can share gift books, share CD's and even artwork , but TV and movies are off limits...

Yes, because it involves the reproduction of copyrighted material
Read here for more info on the subject.
By not really piracy I had meant its not preventing money from going in to someones pocket through sale of media, but yep its against copyright.
Completly understand posts removal.
