Car: Dodge Viper (I wish!) Rep Power: 234   |  God damn you BBC legal department! [edit] Thread locked because the topic has been beaten to death. Just look around on sites like www.Mininova.org if you want Top Gear torrents. [/edit] Well, turns out that it wasn't Ev1 that had the problem but that the BBC complained.  pulse just obtained a copy of the cease & desist:Quote:

Rep Power: 25   | Whee.. :/ So yeah, when ev1 goes back to them and says the problem has been solved, they're going to check and see it's just moved hosts.. I don't think we'll escape this one that easily.. Maybe it really is time just to move to mininova or something decentralised.. -p |

Rep Power: 27 | How stupid is that...you're not even making money out of it. You are actually spreading Top Gear, more people know about Top Gear and might buy merchandise or whatever. Maybe the topgearguy knows some things that can be worked out..

Car: Dodge Viper (I wish!) Rep Power: 234 | All Top Gear downloads are offline... again. It's not like we're distributing a show that you can get on DVD or something. We're just a fan site that's trying to allow people who'd never otherwise be able to see the shows.

Rep Power: 0 | I wonder if it's just this site or if the BBC are trying to target everybody. I've seen TG torrents on several different sites. Anyway keep us up to date viper, thx

Rep Power: 0 | Here is an idea: Use that mailing list that viper has been working on or something similar to send out the links to torrents, but say nothing at all about having them on the site nor post any links to them on the site. I am sure that this site is not the only one that the bbc is looking at so i do not think they are going to look so hard as to figure something like that out |

Car: Audi A6 2.8 quattro -99 Rep Power: 0 | It's not like they lose any money 'cause of this site. Aside from of these torrents I have no access whatsoever to Top Gear eps. This is just a load of negative PR for them. Or maybe this has something to do with the online download archive thing they're working on? Are they going to charge money for it? |

Car: POWERR!!! Rep Power: 0 | They probably think people who download here won't pay for BBCWorld to watch the episodes. ing legal departments have nothing to do so they look stuff they can ruin.
