Skar 323 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Yep, aslong as people keep re uploading, they should give up and just let it be. (Atleast hope so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishUnicorn 284 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 This doesn't really effect me anyways, I just download them; but Youtube was a convenient way show the cartoon to other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arylett Charnoa 4,916 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Eh, I'm not really too concerned about this. I've watched episodes of Pokémon on Youtube and many other shows before they got taken down. My strategy is just to watch the episode as soon as it comes out and people upload it, before they have a chance to remove it. The reality with these things is that there are simply too many people uploading the episodes for them to get them all, and there always will be if the fanbase continues to be so vehement. I don't download episodes though. Far too lazy for that and I dislike downloading episodes of shows because it feels wrong. If worse comes to worse, I'll have to get the Hub, I guess. Or stop watching until they release it on DVD or put it somewhere like Hulu. (I really hope Hulu or Netflix, because I actually have access to that.)

Lady Rarity Pony 4,890 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hasbros should supply the episodes on their own if they want to take them down. There is also no way I'm paying to buy any episodes off iTunes...that is just stupid. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nah 3,180 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Uploaders should make their activity covert and code name it. I was able to watch the first whole season of "The Walking Dead" under the title name "Good Times" (LOL funny) Thats what they should do when it gets worse. Don't get any ideas from this.

Nah 3,180 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 But how did you know the codename? The video thumbnails had scenes from the show. Plus if your friends with the uploader, he would tell you. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colon Leftbracket 971 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 My strategy is to find a torrent of the new episode in HD and download it. I like to have the show on my hard drive! I've only used YouTube to watch 1 episode and that was Hearth's Warming because I got impatient. It usually takes people half the day to start posting torrents. Though I'd catch the streams if they weren't at such an ungodly hour in the morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack 565 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I don't like having to resort to torrents but I'm sorry, the iTunes versions are crap. I am not going to reward a pathetic effort like that with my money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallow 1,132 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) I don't get why they would do that though. Youtube is the main place where we can get the episodes (not everypony lives in the US...) lf they start removing episodes from Youtube, lots of people won't bother looking for them elsewhere (or won't be able to find them elsewhere). They will get annoyed at how difficult it will be to watch an episode and their interest in the show will progressively vanish. Honestly, I don't think that the Brony subculture would last so long if episodes were nearly impossible to find on the Internet. People would lose interest. And that'd be a damn shame if you ask me. And I WOULD buy them on iTunes if I could. But the episodes are nowhere to be found in the Canadian iTunes store! >.< Edited January 11, 2012 by Marshmallow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legit101 299 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) Bad decision from Hasbro anyways. Wouldn't want to upset anybody within the cofines of Hasbro land though. Edited January 11, 2012 by Legit101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Marvelous 540 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 nothing really to say, it's their stuff and they get to decide how to show it to the public... it's in their right to do with their stuff as they please to see it fit. At least they seem to leave PMVs alone...I'm looking at you Toei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krall 263 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Big businesses are detached from the customers who wish to use their product and make illogical, knee-jerk reactions that ultimately amount to bad business decisions that don't help anyone, not even the business themselves; film at 11.

Evilshy 5,084 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I actually didnt know that. Guess I won't be buying that Fluttershy brushable today. Buying toys that I'll never play with was my little way of paying for the episodes I watched on YouTube. I already watch the show when it airs on Hub and on demand, so I'm giving them +1 ratings as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83awsm 233 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Can't say I'm surprised at this. It's a large company with copyrights and such. When their licensed episodes started poping up everywhere, it was only a matter of time before they did something. I've never been on itunes to watch it, but I don't think I will, based upon all the reviews. So I'll proably stick to youtube for now, considering they're still up, and I'll try to catch the new ep's before they're taken down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocalhoun 30 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 ^.^ Which is why I'm working on getting them hosted locally on my website. I won't take them down just because they ask nicely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Rarity Pony 4,890 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 So now that they've gotten a huge fanbase off the internet they are gonna remove the episodes and try to milk the money out of us. Silly Hasbros...it don't work like that x) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdb1984 14 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I'm only one episode away (Lesson Zero) from seeing them all. And I used a clip as research for a fanfic. Though it's their copyright, they can do what they wish. Doesn't bother me unless I lose access to the Hub channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Rarity Pony 4,890 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Yup, Hasbros took down another big channel. The guy keeps making another channel and reuploading though. Just search episode 1, there used to be multiple uploads near or above 100k views, now the most one has is 30,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarGazer 129 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I don't mind paying for things I like but I think this is getting a bit annoying. Maybe if Hasbro themselves decided to have all the episodes on their website for free.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack 565 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Kc4YBsSoqM Links to unlisted episodes of season 2 in HD. Try not to spread this around. The point of it is to be low profile. Edited January 15, 2012 by Mister Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
