This is extremely off topic since it’s not a fan edit or a restoration of anysort…

But I’m looking for a copy of this Discovery Channel doco… It was on TV, but I was at work where I couldn’t record it.

I figured someone here would probably know where I could score a copy. I was surprised it wasn’t on myspleen.net.

Thanks!

This brings up an interesting question of ethics and morales.

They charge 24.95 + shipping for this DVD. Had I gotten to my DVD recorder at the right moment, I would have my own copy of this. Many TV shows that aren't resold (at a ludicrous price or otherwise) are offered up for share after they air.

I understand the purpose of MySpleen and others seems to be that they offer programs that are not officially available. I appreciate that.

But I guess it really irks me that they charge so much for their 2 hour programs. I just bought Episdoe III for $15 (no shipping) and it has 20x the content at probably 20x the original cost. So why they think it will be worth 2x as much to me is a bit of a mystery.

Anyway, I've voiced my complaint and I'm sure few will agree with me. In the mean time, I guess I'll either go without, keep looking for someone willing to share, or just wait for the darn thing to come back on TV.

You're just out to prove me wrong about everything, aren't you!
