As they should be since they're all DVD rips. It's one thing upload stuff that's
not in print, but programming that's currently available on DVD should not be
distributed.

Buy the DVDs.

Veres, Mary
Call me ignorant...but why would anyone want to spend all that time
downloading stuff that is available via DVD? Aren't the DVD available for
purchase by anyone?

Yes, but if folks aren't big fans of UFO (or have never heard of it
before), they are more likely to download and watch something for
free than spend ~$100 for the DVDs.

Maybe not everyone has the money to buy the DVDs - they are expensive if you
are on a limited budget. I can't afford to buy then - as a carer I have
very little spare money so I'll have to do without. I haven't downloaded
them and have no intention of doing so - maybe there are other people in a
similar position to me. I hope that puts you a bit more in the picture.

Cheers,

Mary; No one is ingnorant. Before you can purchase the DVDs, especially over the net, you have to make sure that they will work in your country. If you get this over the net, via downloads, you don't have to worry about compatability issues, and it is allmost always free, or a whole lot cheaper.

I can't affoard DVDs currently either, much as I would like to be able to, so I am just puttering along as best I can, with groups like this.
