I have to voice my strong opposition here. I see nothing wrong with doing Podcast transcripts, since the original audio files are freely available at SciFi.com; but we have explicitly avoided transcribing DVD-only commentary tracks precisely because they are only available for a fee. We should have the explicit permission of NBC/Universal before posting transcripts of such material. --[[User: | I have to voice my strong opposition here.

:Who could we contact to obtain written permission? I definitely want everything to be on the up and up, and even if we had written permission we'd want a template at the top like the podcasts indicating that we have permission and acknowledging the appropriate copyright holders.--[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 14:01, 3 August 2006 (CDT) | :Who could we contact to obtain written permission?

::Is the synopses at Lurker's Guide legit? I like the synopsis form better than transcripts. Or are they different words for the same thing? --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 14:56, 3 August 2006 (CDT) | ::Is the synopses at Lurker's Guide legit? I like the synopsis form better than transcripts.

:::A transcript is usually word for word what is said on the show, as well as descriptive text for the action that occurs. I'd call our episode summaries decent synopses (is that a word?)... --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 15:30, 3 August 2006 (CDT) | :::A transcript is usually word for word what is said on the show, as well as descriptive text for the action that occurs.

::::Google said it was. So the synopses at Lurkers's are actually transcripts? Sorry, answered my own question. They don't include all the dialogue. --[[User:Gougef|FrankieG]] 15:47, 3 August 2006 (CDT) | ::::Google said it was. So the synopses at Lurkers's are actually transcripts?

:I agree that there is a serious copyright issue here. If we could gather permission to transcribe episodes, then that'd be great; otherwise, we shouldn't do it. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 19:55, 4 August 2006 (CDT) | :I agree that there is a serious copyright issue here.
