Aye, could well be mate.

I have tried posting under a different account - and that didn’t appear either (or yet).

‘Trump Bannon row: Lawyers seek to halt book’s release’…

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-42570555

'Lawyers for US President Donald Trump are seeking to stop the release of a book containing damaging allegations about his administration.

Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House is due for release on Tuesday.’

CrplHicks comment from 2 days ago is the newest I can see in the public view on there (sorting comments by ‘newest comments’ first. There are 94 comments so far).

When I ‘sign in’ the newest comment I can see is mine from around 1 hour ago - it may take some time for comments to appear.

Here’s the comment I posted on LDS video and it got promptly deleted:
“I really wish people would stop supporting this a-hole - it makes me furious that I keep seeing people posting links to his site in every Despecialized discussion. By making profit from these edits (and make no mistake, he is - the cost of materials is nowhere near that high and paying him for his work means he’s making a profit) he is seriously endangering the continued existence and updating of the edits - the only reason the studios turn a blind eye to fan edits is because no profit is being made!!! That’s why I have the no selling or buying rule, it’s not some effing whim.”

Reposted it. Suggest other people do the same if we want him to get the message.

Well in 😃

Good to see the video being downvoted too 😃

I found this take on Canto Bight scenes, and Finn’s journey in the film - from going to being mainly concerned for his friend, all the way to committing to the Rebel cause - to be of interest…

(that’s not to say that message could have been made a little clearer and some of the scenes didn’t play too well)

You know the issue is getting bad when Harmy himself comes and comments on the video of LDSEntertainment.

He did? I’m gonna have to dig it up. This ought to be great.

@Oojason
In the “provide more info”, I wouldn’t even put that.
I would put something along the lines of “promoting the sale of bootleg media”.

You are free to put whatever you wish, of course 😃

If I’ve already chosen to report the listing under the ‘Copyright & Trademark’ option, then ‘Bootleg records or unauthorised media’, followed by ‘unauthorised copies of media (music, movies, television programs and books)’ sections - and then just put ‘promoting the sale of bootleg media’ it is just re-affirming what they are - and stands more chance to be ignored…

Yet if, by informing ebay, that the owner and author of the content has stated they are only to made available for free - and never to be sold… that may give the ‘ebay monitors’ a little extra push into action (they can’t later deny they weren’t informed that the owner/author didn’t want them sold for money if it that exact point has been made) - and they may well rest on the side of caution - with the content owner/author - and remove the listing.

Just my two penneth mate.

‘Ex-aide Bannon has lost his mind - Trump’…

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-42560520

‘Former White House aide Steve Bannon “lost his mind” after he lost his job at the White House, US President Donald Trump has said.’

I think another ebayer (or likely the same ebayer as before - just with a different account) was doing the same before Christmas on there.

Reported.
 

I seemed to have more success in seeing these listings being taken down when choosing the ‘Copyright & Trademark’ option, then ‘Bootleg records or unauthorised media’, followed by ‘unauthorised copies of media (music, movies, television programs and books)’…

followed by in the ‘Brief Description’ box… ‘Harmy, the owner & author of this says they are only available for free - and NEVER to be sold.’

(^ it just about fits the number of characters allowed to be used in the ‘Brief Description’ box)

Of course, it may not have had any effect at all, but if it did… great 😃

maybe flagging the video with the “report” button? Just a matter of deciding what to flag it as.

We could “Report” it under ‘Spam & Misleading’ from the options, then ‘Scams & Fraud’, and then under ‘provide additional details’ put something like…

“Harmy, the creator and author of the Despecialized Editions says ‘Despecialized Editions MUST NEVER BE BOUGHT OR SOLD!!! You can find all the info you need here: https://goo.gl/1WGHBA’ - https://www.facebook.com/despecialized/”

Harmy, I was trying to find a way to download this amazing piece of work, and someone on youtube is burning these to blu rays and charging $45 for them. LDS Entertainment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwIbM_uS8aA&t=71s

Personally, as just a member here, I’d encourage everyone to downvote that video.

If it puts anyone off buying from them it’ll be worth it.

And also carry on reporting any Despecialized items they see for sale on ebay too.

Just putting it out there, but there are websites that offer up / downvoting of youtube videos in bulk - google returns a number of hits. I’m sure if a bunch of people through in a few $$ we could get some ‘social media engineering’ going on.

It’s a decent idea that mate - though likely LDS will take down that video if they get so many negative comments or downvotes - and then they’ll start again with a new video a week or so later.

In fact I’d be surprised if they didn’t delete some of the comments on there before too long.

Thinking about it, personally, I’d advocate against going down the path of a bulk negative down vote tool - they already have more downvotes than upvotes - and that’s from real people giving their opinion on it. Let’s keep it that way.

Plus, I wouldn’t waste money on these leeches.

(and if anyone does have a few spare $s, consider sending Adywan or poita a donation to help them with their superb projects)

All good points. This social engineering angle has got me thinking. If the community were to create a series of ‘informational’ videos on YouTube, and apply the correct keywords surely we could push videos like this scumbag down the results, hopefully preventing sales and raising awareness.

It’s too risky to point ‘official’ videos on ‘This is where you download things from’, but videos which walk people through ‘I have a bunch of RAR files - what are they, and what do I do?’ or ‘How do I burn an ISO?’ or ‘I want to make cool box sets for my friends, what do I need, how much does it cost?’.

You’re not going to stop everyone, but if it means that ‘our’ videos hit the top of the results rather than his / theirs, it might prevent some people going down the dark path. It’s the same with Team Blu’s projects - you do a search for “Fright Night II” on YouTube, and if the video is talking about the TB release, it’ll be some copy bought off ebay which they are then providing a link to.

A most intriguing idea - it’d require a fair bit of work and knowledge - yet could be a way to win out vs these leeches, and also help people who may be put off by the jargon used and knowledge required to burn such a set…

And to those that say that part of the backlash against TLJ has nothing to do with racist/ misogynistic/hompophobic feelings in the SW community, you only have to see this one post on facebook and read the comments:

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1682570385096504&set=gm.531837527203014&type=3&theater&ifg=1

And that is just ONE post. I’m seeing shit like this all the time. It’s starting to flood the net now. My Youtube channel got spammed with this type of crap and its all over facebook. Comments galore about how Kennedy is pushing a female agenda and making all the males into pussys, pushing forced diversity just for the Asian market, that they didn’t need all this shit in the OT and the prequels did a proper job at showing what the races really are like, how Rey should have been a guy and it would have made her being so powerful believable because women are weaker than men, and it goes on, but there is so much that i would never repeat.

Yes, its fine that people don’t like this movie, but you cannot deny that a large section think they are on a crusade against anything that isn’t white powerful and male. It’s gotten a lot worse since a certain person was elected as now they think their beliefs are accepted. It just makes me sick what the fandom has become.

Top post.

CGI Tarkin was so distracting that I couldn’t take a single second that he was on screen seriously. They either should’ve recast him or had a different character. They absolutely will do this with Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford a decade or two down the line.

I found CGI Tarkin to be a lot better in the cinema - than watching it at home on blu ray, and the opposite for Leia in R1. Hang on, did I? Was it the other way around? Sounds like a good excuse to go watch R1 again 😃

As some people have likely mentioned about watching R1, the people I associate with who don’t know who Peter Cushing was don’t seem to have realised or voiced concerns that it looked off or was CGI at all. A couple expressed surprised he was still alive as he’s been ‘around for ages’ (though they are not Hammer / Star Wars fans).

The Leia scene they did notice - likely because of they are more aware of Carrie/Leia, as well as the promo material releases of how they’d acheived it.

I thought a reflection shot of Leia in the ‘windscreen’ of the ship’s bridge saying the word ‘Hope’, and then have the camera shot swing around to show her face fully may have been pulled it all off a better (just my two penneth) - yet I still think it was done quite well.
 

A viewing of some of the R1 threads on here (and likely elsewhere) should conjure us up with the stolen data tapes provide some more info/insight.
