I believe that BMX videos are a great source of advertising. I also believe that BMX companies have the right to choose wether or not they would rather sell bmx videos as a product, or give them away as advertising.

It's not up to the consumer to choose another companies marketing strategy.

I could contradict you on so many counts but it's really not worth it.

No you couldn't.

I think this is justified but anyone who calls another person cheap for not buying videos and watching them online needs to shut up. Some of us have more important things to pay for than bmx videos.

Everyone has more important things to buy than bike videos. Not having enough money doesn't mean you should steal, it means you shouldn't get to watch. That's right, it's a product. If you don't have enough money for a car is it ok to steal it?

If you don't have enough money, it's your own fault.  If you want material possesions learn to make money like a responsible person instead of bitching.

If some kid gets banned from a forum for a two weeks, nothing negative happens to him. Hell, he might even read a book or stop worrying about the Ti content of his frame.


But if some kid posts a link to where you can download the latest shook video for free, a few dozen kids might end up not buying the video. The Chad Shackleford might not cover his rent cheque for that month.



Which outcome is worse, really?




Not to mention the fact that if scenario number 2 does occur, Doug could very well end up with his ass sued, and that's two people getting fucked over in life because of one link.

Thank you.

Some of these kids think the guys making videos are "livin the life" making these videos. There isn't much money in bmx kids. Posting one link could easily cost hard working folks hundreds if not more, dollars.

you gotta be kidding me...

No, I'm not.

He watches his freinds videos all of the time without ever buying any. I've got no problems with that, but he's cheap.

Thank you!

I'm tired of the cheap bastards stealing from our sport.

If you want to watch a video, plunk down the cash.
