it'll have a chance. time will tell if the torrents are allowed to continue. the first 4 are free, so i doubt they'll do anything, but after that, who knows, tehy may shut the torrents down. And i wouldn't blame them if they did.

i know a lot of people that won't download off torrents. In fact i read one guy on LJ who asked for someone to send him a copy since he's on dialup and the response was 'sure, i'll send you one, but you have to buy the bundle and i'll download it for you'
On the other hand, there was an underground by midnight on the 14th. there will always be an underground. we can just hope that those that pay outweigh those that don't

I admit to grabbing the SG eps off torrent when they were broadcast in the UK. Too impatient to wait. But I'm also watching them during their current broadcast now. (both viewings) And I'll be getting the DVD's.Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

Can I assume my old (2000) computer will not handle an HD version? I downloaded the SD version (which looked pretty good to me).
I purchased the SD bundle and when the HD bundle becomes available, my friend is going to get the HD bundle so we can compare. We're both wondering how much of a difference there really is, because the SD looked pretty darn goog to me.Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

I don't even know what torrents is, I don't want to know.
How can a new, advertisement-less, deep studio pockets-less venture survive with that going on?
Please let it be a vanishingly small, microscopic minority.Words have tremendous power. The right words spoken by the right people at the right times can lift up communities, transform lives, mend relationships, break hearts—even topple empires.

i finally bought the ep. i was afraid it wouldn't play well/pretty on my computer. after i bought it, i played it straight off the site. it was choppy but livable. i then d/led the ep to my computer and it played perfectly. BUT, the playing off the site version was brighter, and the d/led one i had probs seeing, even after i upped the lighting. i just can't win!
i also watched (then d/led) the extras thinger, but that thing doesn't play correctly, whether i play it from site or d/l it to my computer. did anyone else have this prob? and, what exactly did the extras show?
so i'm still having issues, but nothing horrible.
LOVED seeing the ep!!!!
oh, something interesting that i *finally* was able to see on a higher quality recording...

As far as being available on bittorrent well that can be looked at several ways.- Seeing as the first 4 are free, letting it alone out there on the net can be seen as free advertising.
- After the first 4 though, it's easy and yet time consuming to shut down a lot of the distributers. Most large sites have a policy of if you report a torrent (and are a copy right owner) they will take it down. However you have to report each and every instance, hence the time consuming part.
- People on bittorrent habitually, won't pay, so technically they were never a potential customer so no money has been lost.
I'll be interested to what the Sanctuary folks decide as their policy. If they want help I'm sure some fans could assist with dobbing in a torrent.
OK I'm off to the Sanctuary fans chat!-
