Well, I won't feel quite so bad for illegally downloading this show now though I do still plan to buy it when it's affordable.
I only got into it a couple of years ago. And so hard to grasp the issue, because you're right that we all do it. It's not about that and probably sounds weird anyway, but maybe you do understand my intention here. Now reading it so openly, and reading all the answers like it was totally normal to just ask for anything and get it online - well, it just took it one step further for me, you understand? Apart from that, you know, I'm all for you enjoying our favorite series. But still it was a sign for me that people still are aware that there are copyright issues and that they affect people. You knew of course that people shared it anyway, but you had to write a PM.
I know it sound double standard, but it since a few years, it seemed to be "netiquette" for me not to post torrent link and stuff like that openly in forum threads. I'm not even judging, it's just that I learned differently. It's about authors, playwrights, musicians whose creative output just isn't worth anyone to pay for it anymore. Then again, I thought, that's exactly the reason why I wanted to point out that I feel wrong about it. I hesitated to post my comment becausee, yeah, you're right, most of us are hardly innocent here. Anyway, it's just not a big deal to me and I'm not pushing anybody else to do it, so I don't really see too much harm in it.
I mean, maybe the plotlines of our stories belong to us but the rest is all from whatever show or book or movie the fic is about. God only knows how many people do it besides me, so why should I feel bad about this when I already feel so bad about so many other things? Also, I'm a big fan of fan fiction, and some people could view reading that as almost the same thing as watching shows online. So yeah, you are definitely right, but this is one thing I don't particularly care too much about. Especially since I DO buy things when I can afford them. I'm not really a fan of breaking the law - my past is colorful, to say the least, and I really don't care for cops (at least the ones that act all superior and have God complexes) - but this particular crime seems fairly small to me so I don't really worry about it. So yeah, it isn't really right, and I know I'm not the only person in the world with money problems, but I'm going to do it anyway until we get to a place where we can afford to buy things. We probably shouldn't even have that - it's tough enough just to get food - but we'd all go nuts if we didn't have SOMETHING fun to do. We have the internet, thank God, and Netflix, but besides old CDs and books that's all the entertainment we get. For one thing, I am definitely not the only person to do it, and for another, when I say my family is hard up for money I'm not kidding.
I really appreciate it!īelieve me, I know it's not really right to watch stuff I haven't paid for online, but I'm not going to apologize for it. UPDATE: Thank you all for your help, someone said they could send me the files so I've got what I need, and if for some reason it doesn't work out you've all given me plenty of options. Thanks so much, everyone, and sorry for any trouble!
If you don't know of a place to watch or download the series anymore but have it downloaded on your computer or a flash drive from a time when it was available, please let me know and I'll give you my email address so you can send it to me. I want to watch the show now, though, so I'm hoping someone can help me. So now I'm asking you guys again: does anybody know where I could either watch or download the entire QAF US Series that is of decent quality? I'd just go out and buy the series, but money is beyond tight at the moment so I probably won't get it until my next birthday on October 14th, which is a long ways away. So then I tried to find a place to watch the series online, but most of the links turned out to be broken. Hi, I asked for this in my last post and was given this link: Unfortunately, I was only able to download the first three episodes and in those videos, the sound was behind the video by like five minutes.
