just curios nimhster you do realize that by down loading a movie you have no rights to you are by law pirating and can be suide by mgm. i am pretty sure they would not mind taking your money.

I must confess I am a fanatic enough to have two copies of the movie on DVD. They are exactly the same, I just got the second copy while I was away from home for weeks at a time in a secondary school. It was just sitting there calling to me so I figured what's another 10 dollars, I can sell it on eBay later. As for Youtube, the sound quality is good, but the video can cause siezures at times. Bottom line: Spend ten bucks and buy the DVD.

If you're desperate, watch it ASAP before the creater hears from MGM's lawyers. Otherwise, get the DVD.

Don't listen to everything you read.

You know what's funny? The video and record companies keep bringing up this whole "if you copy our product to where it's free for everyone to see, you go to jail" when even when you loan somebody a recorded VHS tape of some movie(like you recorded it from STARS or HBO) or a purchased product to someone, you can suffer the same penalty. Really, by loaning someone your recorded VHS or purchased product, you are allowing them to watch it for free which is pretty much like the guy on YouTube is doing;(it's called streaming, not downloading, by the way) taking a recorded copy/purchased copy and viewing it to everyone. The thing is, the Internet is costing them more money then loaning products back and forth to different people. When money runs low, so does their sanity.

The same thing goes with music too. Seriously, I didn't hear any whining about copyrights when people were still making 'mix-tapes' off of cassettes in the 70s and 80. :roll:

No, read the rest of my post, it may prove worthy in your defense.

Yea even if you didn't post it, if you pass it around you're just as gulty

Yet way back when my parents copied a lot of things they rented onto another tape, we didn't have any trouble and Boss Hogg didn't show up at my front door.

And no wonder, back then "Star Wars" was over $100 dollors on VHS tape, my first Secert of MINH movie on VHS cost me $74 dolllors.

most people just copy for home use, but while I was overseas in Korea it was a money making market, and you can be sure that back in the states others were copying for profit, thats the main ones the FBI goes for.

I didn't know you're a "Dukes" fan! That's cool!

I caught a marathon of them on Spike TV once and I've been a fan ever since. I haven't seen the movie, but I'm really wanting to. The Mythbusters recently put their big jump to the test. The car made it just 3 feet short of Adam's distance estimate, but it was a total wreck and couldn't drive away. Anyway, yes I'm a Hazzard fan, but let's not stray off topic. We don't want Simon locking any more topics do we?

True but we can chat about it at NIMHsters..

I understand why Simon had disabled the links. Thank you! :)

And I'm not sure how long they gonna stay thrtr ether. They most likely would have to delete those clips..

Nah, Youtube gets this stuff all the time, they have almost every animated movie, posted in different posts, on their lists. All of which have gotten four to five stars each, and as long as those stars stay that way, and there is no disturbance from the outside, the clips will stay like everything else.

The same thing goes with music too. Seriously, I didn't hear any whining about copyrights when people were still making 'mix-tapes' off of cassettes in the 70s and 80. :roll:

That's because, fairly early-on in the development of consumer audio cassettes, record companies managed to finagle a 'fee' from the sale of blank audio cassettes (and later, blank video cassettes, and even blank CD's & DVD's).

IOW, every time a customer purchases "blank" recordable media, a part of the purchase price goes to the record/video industry.

Not so with 'viral' internet music & video.

Personally, as someone who makes his living in the creative arts, I am very much against 'pirating' in any form. Individual artists can, and do, get hurt by rampant piracy.

Well, looks like the submission of that user has been caught by copyright infringement at last.

He's probably at Guantanamo Bay now. :shock:

The fun begains :shock:

I know he would get caught sometime.. I mean I think you can post old movies on there because the owners of the rights of the film are ether dead or out of production. But since NIMH is owned by MGM the rights still stand..

-delete-

wonder why people try and break the copy right laws especially if they know there going to get caught. i mean it just is not worth the reprocusions.

It's the thill they get knowing they doing something they not suposed to. But from what I heard the guy who did it supposity tried to delete it but couldn't. I think You tube was notified and block it or something.

but that still does not make much sense to do something that could cost you so much just for the thrill of it. it makes no sense what can they posibly try and gain i mean how can some one do something that is so stupid. i really do hope that they learn from there mistakes.

For Youtube's policy, I think when you infringe on one's copyright you're banned and notified to the movie company or whatever you infringed upon.

Also I did forget to mention the possibity that he may not realised it was illegal to post whole movies on there. I was told that someone posted "Brother Bear 2" on there but Disney demanded it to be removed..

For those of us that can access Hulu (pretty much US-only, at this point), you can watch a full-length version of the Secret of NIMH with some short commercial breaks. It looks like they use the wide-screen matte with the non-remastered version. Be sure to choose the High Quality version from the links on the side when you mouseover the video.

Bonus: They've also got Anastasia: http://www.hulu.com/watch/63839/anastasia

It's no match for a DVD, but if you want to introduce the movie to a friend for free, it's a pretty decent (and legal) way to do it.
