you can get any big name skate video and a lot of the bigger local videos on IRC. What are your thoughts about this? kinda controvercial i guess.

what's IRC?

[skizata]

Internet Relay Chat...its been around for a long while and there are channels where you can download any type of warez and almost every skate video.

[Chris Hupman]

technically its legal but i dunno it seems a bit shifty.

while on topic, what is the address to get to the perception irc channel?

[steveg413]

connect to irc2.otherside.net
channel: #perception

and you're not supposed to talk about warez on these forums.

[JasonJenkins]

You can talk about the channel, just not what your getting there. As far as anyone is concerned, its a chat program. If irc2.othersideirc.com doesn't work, try irc.new-wave.net (this is what I use). I love IRC and have met a lot of dudes all over the world because of it. I met with a french guy today in fact from IRC.

i know, jenkins.
but the topic that the kid that posted this was about downloading skate videos off of irc. and that is what i was talking about

i dunno liek i'll get to the point of where i want to see a video so bad so i download it but i don't like the idea of it like they put hard work into makign those videos so i really don't liek it.... like if i was makign a video of that size i'd like to make moeny off of it not have a bunch of random kids downloadign it for free that would jsut piss me off so after i downlaod it i almost feel like igotta go buy it even if i ain't got money to spare for a skatye video

Yeah, its obviously wrong to download shit that isn't supposed to be free. But it's a very common thing nowadays. Not as common as mp3's are but still. You can download skatevideo's off of p2p networks as well. I highly doubt any big profit loss is because of this.

but in my opinoin, owning a skate video is much better. you can take pride in the collection you have. like that old ass Plan B video thats in mint condition.

I say support the skateboard industry by buying the shit. Although the video's are getting full of more and more ads and crap footage.

I understand people downloading videos because honeslty i do too. But i am 14 with no job and $30 is way to much for a skatevideo. I can buy a deck for that much. So it is just more convient to dowload the movie for free.

[JasonJenkins]

If a movie is good then I'll buy it, but some of the vids 1) I can't buy anywhere, 2) suck so badly that I'm glad I didn't buy them. IRC is like a little test run basically for me - if a vids worth buying, I'll buy it.

[Garrett]

I've done it before, but only to see if I like the video.

if you don't buy it, its like watching the entire video in a skateshop.
