| == Aren't there three new YouTube videos for Razor? == | | == Quote of the day. == |
| | |
| When I looked at the announcement for the new Razor previews here on Battlestar Wiki, naturally I was excited.. So when I went to check them out on YouTube, I found that there were not two new videos, but three (or at least, that's how it seems to be)..
| |
| | |
| Check this out, these are the videos you linked to:<BR>

| |
| | |
| But this one seems to be new as well (and very exciting I might add):<BR>
| |
| http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e20Z8CsJBwg
| |
| | |
| This last one seems to be specifically about 'Razor flashbacks' that'll air during Flash Gordon..

| :Yeah, that one is specifically to promote the Webisodes. Sure we can link to them all, but on the other hand we are not a news site. We document the show, but generally post only the most important stuff in the small news section. Or put something up when it hasn't been updated for a while. We often include information from news into spoiler articles as you see in the "Razor" or Season 4 articles, but you'll see that the latest "Razor" teasers aren't included in the episode article. I don't know how others feel about this, but I don't think it's really necessary. For our purpose, I think it's better to note stuff like the appearances of [[Kendra Shaw]], [[Gina]], [[Alastair Thorne]] or [[Jurgen Belzen]] than linking to the teasers for their own sake.
| |
| :This is a case where it's easy to add another link (I'll do so), but don't expect to find every bit of news on the show here. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 05:42, 2 October 2007 (CDT)

| ::Thanks, Serenity! I understand Battlestar Wiki's need to stick to the articles about the show and not so much about the promo's and other news information regarding the show itself, but I thought I'd point out this little fact. Thanks again.. --[[User:Jarnomiedema|jarnomiedema]] 06:21, 3 October 2007 (CDT)
| |
| :::Thanks for pointing this out. Although we're not really a news site, we do have a news section, and we do appreciate it when people point us to trailers we haven't seen yet (and, of course, we link to the trailers in [[Razor|the article]] as well). Nogmaals bedankt! --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 07:07, 3 October 2007 (CDT)

| == Razor Flashbacks ==
| |
| | |
| The recent one available on SciFi pulse, is now on Youtube here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=pvAhOH1zJlc, front page should probably include this for the benefit of international fans who can't watch it via pulse. :) --[[User:Sixu|Sixu]] 23:24, 7 October 2007 (CDT)

| : Unfortunately, it's technically illegal and will probably be pulled by NBCU in a day, if not less. Same thing happened with the Resistance webisodes. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]] - [http://www.sanctuarywiki.org Sanctuary Wiki — ''New'']</sup> 00:50, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

| :It's basically "don't ask, don't tell". Everyone knows that people here download the regular episodes and webisodes - including some admins - but we shouldn't support it too openly. That mainly means no links. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 01:30, 8 October 2007 (CDT)
| |
| :Ah, I totally understand that. It's so annoying for BSG fans that live outside the U.S. As for the policy of NBCU removing content from youtube, I'm sure you'll agree; is plain stupid. It is the internet after all, and where there is a will there is '''always''' way, so their efforts are rather pointless. Cheers for the feedback though guys, appreciate you taking the time to let me know. --[[User:Sixu|Sixu]] 06:20, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

| ::I don't really mind or complain. Sure the restrictions are annoying on the face of it, but as you said they are useless in practice. A few hours after the US airing, there are YouTube streams and even downloadable avi files available. Due to the time difference I need to wait until the next morning anyways. Sure it would be nice to watch the stuff on TV within a reasonable timeframe and with the original language track, but by now I got used to watch shows on the PC and possibly get the DVDs later. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 06:37, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

| :I don't really see why Sci Fi (or whoever holds copyright) would want to remove the Razor Flashbacks from YouTube: US citizens can also view them freely on SciFi.com. Regular episodes are different of course. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 08:44, 8 October 2007 (CDT)

| ::I've never really gotten a good firm picture of why they're so aggressive, but the two main reasons that were impressed on me were the concept of "protecting their copyright" (that somehow if they allowed their material to be used willy-nilly it'd somehow set a precedent that would prevent them from having any real say in the future) and something to do with the unions/guilds (any use of the work of their people has to be properly credited and/or paid for). They can't be blind to what all goes on, so it seems like it's far more in the way of keeping a particular legal position or policy than effecting any sort of practical global(/non-US) prohibition. Unfortunately the types of people that could probably best explain it, NBCU lawyers, are likely to be tight-lipped as a matter of course anyway. There may be a [[Battlestar_Wiki:Official_Communiques/Archive5#The_international_webisode_question|blurb in the OC where Bradley Thompson mentions something about the (Resistance) webisodes]]. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 09:26, 8 October 2007 (CDT)
