Okay, so you all probably know RangerCast, and Fury Diamond who encodes Jungle Fury episodes for not only that forum, but at least three others where he links the RC page.
Someone uploaded his episodes in parts on YouTube without credit, and despite many complaints and messages, refuses to take them down. He claims he doesn't own them, but didn't download them from Ranger Cast. Which actually makes sense to me, those links are all over the place!!! Heck, we've had a couple mis-uploads ourselves and posted some of his eps before.
So anyway, Fury Diamond has not only decided to stop encoding the new episodes, but he's removed the links to all his old ones to prevent people from stealing them . . .
Wow.
Selfish!!!!!
PR doesn't belong to us. Okay, we get pissed when someone steals our hard work, but when it comes down to it, we have no claims to them. We get episodes/vids/songs etc because we have the means and want to share them with other fans. It's not like we're making any money (or therefore losing any-- or anything else-- from someone else using them!)
I could understand it a tiny bit more if he posted them on another forum, at least that is actual competition. But still . . . RangerCast is giant, there's no threat to them or his uploads. If a couple sites have the eps too, it really doesn't hurt anything.
I think it's ridiculous to deny everyone on that forum the chance to watch the new episodes just because one guy (whose episodes don't even get that many views!) decided to upload the eps. Why not put a watermark on new encodes??? Or lock them for members with more posts??? Or frickin suck it up and do it ANYWAY!!!!! What an ass.
