paulschaefer Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 the season during the Friday afternoon before the opening ceremony?? Now i know that their are some rules about public viewings and i have no intention to get anyone in trouble. But being a huge user of the NBC website and forum a few friends have used the 'view again' function on the NBC website and then sent me the episodes for season 2. Would it be a terrible idea or would it get SM/Massive events in trouble if from lunch time onwards we are able to view the DVD's at the event before the opening ceremony?? I know it might be a silly question but it certainly would be a great build up. ESP. with David Anders attending!!!! I might even be able to get the ‘Jules festival’ ‘Villains’ advert as well!!?

chris_mk Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Yes, they could get in a lot of trouble! There are a number of copywrite infringements that could cause legal action. I used to go to Babylon 5 events where they would show episodes and they received a 'cease and desist' from Warners (even though some of the episodes had aired publically in the UK!)

Obviously, if you were to invite people back to your room and the disc happened to be playing on a machine, then I doubt NBC would ever find out.... I just wouldn't advertise it too loudly!

paulschaefer Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 the only machine i have is a PS3, and i always end up playing GH3... but it is possible. maybe we can try and break the record of 30 people in a hotel room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetbob99 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 You know that showing something to more than 11 people is classed as a public performance under UK copyright!! So you would need a license. But this begs the question, seeing as its not been released here does UK copyright cover it! Or what about we all watch it on our own laptops at the same time!! hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulschaefer Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 HAHAHAH you could go crazy on that, Stating that since people blink on average every 3 second, and since you have 30 people that means that every 3 second only a small proportion of the group are actually watching the program. therefore no copyright has been infringed because the not all attendees were actually watching the shows.. then again the judge might just turn around and tell me to F off and not be so stupidly smart!!!

Moderators DavidB Posted March 11, 2008 Moderators Share Posted March 11, 2008 How about people find scripts, or transcript the episodes, and we'll just act them out for people that haven't seen them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulschaefer Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Yea and since SM/ Massive Events probably want their fledgling to turn into a good Cow they will not jeopardise the potential of the venture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well she does that in S1 as well, so not really a spoiler, it's just her character design. That talented actress is seriously underused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulschaefer Posted March 12, 2008 Author Share Posted March 12, 2008 (edited) As long as we don't mention that Peter..... Oh wait was it Matt?..... no no im right it was nathan! He really should not have done that, total shock, i mean WOW what a turn around. Anyone who has not seen Season 2, would really be kicking themselves about now.
