No one worth their salt is going to psot the good FTP's buddy. Sorry,
but with FOX execs (or their stool pigeons anyway) ocassionally
popping in, we aren't going to risk getting legal action brought
against the good DL sites. So, in the future, don't ask.

What do we have here? Why we turn to the FAQ and read:

This FAQ can be found at:
URL:http:// alcor.concordia.ca/~ra_forti/FAQ
2.4) Warning Fox has lawyers on the prowl!

There have been an increasing number of poster's asking for URL's
to download the TV show, BTVS and Angel. Now some of them may be fresh
newbies without a clue. But I would not bet the site on it. Fox has gone
out of its way to shut down sites that have the full episode for
downloading. It has been said that Fox has gone after the people who post
it to the Newsgroup alt.binaries.multimedia.buffy-v-slayer to have them
kicked from their accounts. We have lost vid caps, slayme among others to
the lawyers from Fox. As such 1) if you know about a site where episodes
can be downloaded, do not tell any one. 2) If you have seen a poster for a
long time and they ask, they would not, but you may think about giving
them a URL. 3) Consider all such requests to be a Fox lawyer looking to
shut down another site. 4) Just say no the lawyers from Fox

For Newbies, do not ask where you can get episodes from. Go to:

alt.binaries.multimedia.buffy-v-slayer

And get it for yourself. If you get a rude comment to the effect
that you are a Fox lawyer then you should have read this first, and should
not have asked in the first place.


Why do i imagine there will be no followup to this poster?

Sigh. Why does FOX care if we download low quality videos of Buffy off
the 'net? How is that any different from taping the show off the TV?

'Cause the downloads don't have commercials. Among other reasons. In
my case, I live in a country where they're still rerunning season 3.
Over and over and over again. No season 4 and no Angel, to say
nothing of the current season. So I download. I'd much rather watch
the eps on TV, but something is better than nothing.
