Do you want the Les Catalan game for free?

[Antwigan]

I have now uploaded to mininova (see links below) the game (ironed out the earlier probs). There are two versions available for you free. There is the DVD widescreen version that I have encoded or the avi (smaller file) that can be played on your PC or Divx/Mpeg4 DVD players. I will seed at full speed for you all to leech from me (and then each other so speed will pick up the longer you leave it. The software I would use is Bitcomet 0.84 or the latest azureus. Both available free from http://www.filehippo.com/ and once this prog is downloaded you then go to here for the DVDversion
http://www.mininova.org/tor/590016
or here for the avi version

I hope this doesn't offend anyone as I got the file for free and took 4hrs encoding it to DVD format plus the time to download I felt it would be a waste not to share it with you lot.
I also have many other games to share should you so wish. Example Aussie Grand Finals from 1968, various state of origins etc...

I'm kind of obliged to ask, given my moderator role on here, but is this file sharing stuff legal? I don't want to see the website getting into trouble for people advertising the fact they are making copywrited material available without permission...

[Antwigan]

File sharing is legal, yes. I already own the games I get on sky + and/or vhs. Theyre backups...

No you don't! I think you will find anything Sky broadcast is copyright protected which means you can't copy the material and distribute it.

File sharing of none copyright material is legal so the question is, is your material copyright protected?

There is a difference between recording to a PVR (Sky+), DVD recorder or VCR (remember them ) for time shifting purposes and recording it for distributing it to others.

Sky won't like this because others may not have a sky sports subscription so are effectively getting the game for free. That is why they copyright the material. They will give you a license to record it for time shifting but I bet if you look into the terms and conditions you are also supposed to only keep the recording for a limited time on the Sky+ box.

The programme concerned is from French TV not SKY

More seriously. We have people stabbing others in Wigan, people shooting each other in Manchester and London. File sharing pales into insignificance

True, but the busybodies who take action about such things often seem to concentrate on the trivial over the most important issues. That seems to be the way the country is run these days - take action on things of relatively minor importance but which can be done quickly so you can say you've achieved something, whilst ignoring the more deep-seated problems in society...

Sadly that is very true Fraggle
