What happened to White Sox Videos & Movies thread that had been pinned forever? Isn't one of you guys making month by month videos of da 2005 season (I think it was The Cheat that was doing these...I think).

 

I can never get enough footage. Please keep postin' 'em.

The movie thread has been moved to the 2005 Season In Review Section of Soxtalk.

 

I was the one making the month-by-month highlights, however, I was advised to remove the videos I was hosting and to not distribute any more in the future.

 

It was good while it lasted..

Your videos were great, 3E8. Can I ask exactly why you were barred from distributing video of the White Sox magical 2005 season?

 

Does Soxtalk not want Sox fans to share the love? Or are they feeling a little self-important in their need to enforce some obscure copyright law about distributing video?

 

We can only speculate...

Obscure copywrite law? Get real. Would you risk your freedom, or a big fine?

It was an outside source, not Soxtalk, that told me to remove them. I don't want to get Soxtalk or myself in any trouble so I'm not really going to fight this.

I just feel like people who'd bust someone for copyright issues might have bigger fish to fry than a bunch of us Soxnerds sharing baseball highlights. Until I read about the Soxtalk Piracy Scandal in the New York Times, I wouldn't worry about it.

 

Unless it's the Sox who'd bust you, something I don't envison. Why would you alienate diehard fans like that? Wouldn't be Brooks Boyer's finest marketing hour...

 

I just don't get it.

Outside source, eh? Scandalous...

 

Sorry for criticizing you Soxtalk. Sounds like the big fish are fryin' 3E8 like it's hot.

 

If the Feds bust in on me for Soxtalk piracy, I'd save the videos to disk, put them in non-marked Ziploc baggies, and shove them up my ass to avoid being implicated in the 2005 White Sox Highlights Scandal. But that's just me.

If it was your ass on the line, then you just might get it.

Well is there any way we can get them in private for our own private use in our own private homes?

How 'bout asking that via private message?

That sucks. I'm glad we at least got a couple out of you 3E8; they were really solid.

You can pick up the entire playoffs on DVD fairly cheap on eBay as a free gift for buying something small (which makes the transaction legal). I bought an Ozzie Guillen baseball card and received the entire playoffs for $30 on DVD. There are a ton listed and I am sure the price will come down over time since they have been as high as $80.

 

I never got to see the vids from 3E8, but if you need bandwidth for downloads, I have a ton (so we can share our personal White Sox diaries), just PM me.

Entire playoffs on DVD, eh? What is this video called and why isn't it being marketed? Or is this some bootleg DVD that an E-Bay seller put together? However, I'm intrigued. Tell me more. My dream is to have a DVD with all twelve playoff games with Rooney and Farmer dubbed over FoxJagBag announcers.

 

Lemme know.

No they are the actual broadcasts, but they are put together pretty nice, with chapters built in per inning, the post game shows, parade, etc, with no commercials.

 

Just search for "white sox dvd" on eBay. You will have to dig around a little because the standard dvd is all of the place.

Sounds like the DVD's I made for the World Series. Its hard to edit commercials out sometimes u forget to take the DVD recorder off pause and miss a pitch or 2 especially when Fox had it timed out so a commercial would last right before the pitch to start the inning.
