Well, this actually isn't piracy. If he didn't upload it, then he cannot be at fault. We are just viewers of the content, not the uploaders.

And if SubSim does have a problem with this, then they might want to delete all the YouTube links. I've got several 5-second family guy clips, Cthulhu clips (artwork copyright), and music clips that I've posted on the forums.

Seriously, this copyright BS is getting out of hand. Two weeks ago, there was a 2-second clip from Family Guy on YouTube. All it consisted of was Peter with Brian taped to his face saying, "Mustache fart!" then a knock at the door. A week later: "This content has been removed due to a copyright claim by Cartoon Network, Inc." Honestly, people, do we really want to look like a copyright SS troop, hell bent on removing even the smallest of violations?

I mean really...

I agree, but in this case its the entire Das Boot, from start to finish. Why buy it if you can watch whenever you want in full screen streaming?

I've got three versions of it, and I'd much prefer to have it on DVD and watch it when I want without waiting, in high resolution, than watch it online.

Sometimes watching something online persuades someone to buy it :yep:

I think that's the idea generally, and while I personally support it...

...probably the copyright holders don't :-?

I'd be really careful with things like that, to be honest. I'm not sure how Stage6 operates. It's actually perfectly plausible that a site of this kind could have a license to show whatever they want from a major movie company because they can pay for the license with ad revenue, but I somehow doubt stage6 has this sort of license. So... it's definitely on the wrong side of the grey area in my book. Not that I'm against it personally, but I think it's not particularly acceptable on subsim.

so what about the pirate thread?

I'd tend to agree with you, even though I'm not personally against it http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/621/thinkbigsw1.gif

There are various sites like this that have full length films on them as well as other stuff.

So I am amazed many are still working.

Indeed. You know the full Hell's Angels movie has been uploaded to YouTube?

Unfortunately, it's been removed (despite the fact that it's 78 years old... facist bastards).
