I cant join eztv due to an error going from page one to two????

I wanted to report an “Important Message” that i got from another torrent i downloaded.

this is basically what it says, with eztv’s logo’s all over it….

EZTV has recently been confronted with numerous lawsuits. In order to finance our legal costs we need your help to collect the necessary funds. That is why from now on we will be password protecting our files. We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience, but it is a necessary measure to protect the quality tv-rips we have been releasing for so long.

then it goes to instructions to retreiving the password.

since i cannot report this to eztv, can someone else do it for me?

thanks
Kalla

eztvefnet.org now points at a commercial site were you have to pay for a membership. Paying for filesharing, I shudder in disgust over those who drag P2P in this filt.

Just noices this today when I couldn’t reach eztv.nl.

@prerok (late response I know…)
A really positive effect is that networks no longer can do however they want. Nowadays we get to se for example Lost with subs with just a few episodes delay instead of half a year to a years delay. Another example is CSI. In the beginning CSI was sent with up to one and a half years delay. Now where on the same season.

The point is that the networks must to more extent adapt and conform to the consumers instead of consumers beeing at the whim of companys that only has the money as a priority. The consumers got alternate options that puts pressure on companys and that’s just about always good for the consumer.

Unfortunatelly like many other releasers Boggi is wrong as well. It’s nice to think that what you do has no financial effect and everyone only benefits, but reality is different.
While it may not affect ratings in USA (even though everyone knows that Nielsen system doesn’t have its thumb on the real pulse), it affects extremly tv ratings in other countries.
Many shows like LOST or Prison Break have poor ratings in my country even though they were successful in USA. The surveys show that there is a great awarness of those top 10 shows coming from US, but there’s also a reason for that awarness: almost everyone seen them in the 14-35 demo.
Majority of active population downloaded them, got them from a friend or checked them out but were not interested.
So what TV station was left with was mediocre ratings and from part of population advertisers are not going for.
Thus tv station spent a lot of money on programme that doesn’t bring anything back. Lower income means even poorer schedule, lower ratings less money.
It’s obvious system will have to change and everyone will have to adapt, but Boggi in others on the scene should understand, that what they are doing is not so innocent as they try to portray.

what’s the difference of taping shows on a “old” vcr with commercial skip built in.. or dvr-ing a show? i understand issues with movies but tv? we even have dvd recorders now.. this isnt new.. its just a new more efficient way… so whats the problem? i dont get it.. if i like a series and what the set i still buy it… also.. a lot of people use x-360′s to view shows from computers.. why can’t we have releases in mp4 or wmv? so we don’t have to convert them to watch?

I wish more things worked the way EZTV does! For instance, let’s say my friend sends me a letter, if EZTV were delivering it, the mailman would sign the bottom of the page, right below my friend’s signature.

Makes PERFECT SENSE.

Me, and I’m sure many with me, wouldn’t mind paying for access to shows airing in the US.

Living in Europe, it sometimes takes ages for shows to appear here, if ever.

I’d pay for online streams and run Windows+IE in vmware if I had to, just to watch it DRMed.. but.. I can’t. There are places with good stuff, but.. they are usually limiting the content based on the IP of the visitor. There are of course ways around that, but.. there shouldn’t have to be.

I’ll pay for it. I’ll watch american or local ads or whatever. Just.. give me access to it.

When there are no alternatives, it’s not so weird that people “have to” break laws to get access to it. :P

The amazing thing about EZTV is it’s all free and those who put in their time and money to run it only get ‘thx’ and that’s it, unlike private sites who make money from donations and ads.

It’s just a group of people inspired to come together to do this even when other groups were being destroyed, since then millions have been spent (according to some) in trying to poison the torrents with bad data. (google “Difficult time for EZTV”)

>>And what makes us good, I’d say dedication, organization and experience.

I’d say heart and generosity (the scope of torrents released and in 3 sizes), experience and organization has come slowly.
It was crazy at the start, real chaos, people not sleeping for days on end, not 1337 to begin with to say the least – founded on good ideas (how not to be closed down like all the others before) not skill. Dedication is spot on though!

It is self perpetuating, it is a community not reliant on any one person at the top.

It’s pretty impressive, but stations need not fear us.
TV just happens to be possibly the most poorly distributed product in the world, eventually they will fully realize that the internet is a far better way to distribute TV.

Many keep watching a TV show because they are able to catch shows they missed on eztv.
Many catch a show that was canceled in their country but is still being made (I founded eztv and indeed that’s how I got into downloading TV online, Enterprise was canceled here seasons before it was in the US)

reply too p2pfaggots post

first of all they aint takeing creds for stuff, they still leave releases groups name in, so basickly the groups who capped them still get their cred, aboute leaking part, wel hmm. Since EZTV only do TV shows somewhat of a grey area releasing it on the net so realy dosnt mather. And that they bring more heat at the scene is just bullshit, evryone knows ur out there anyway so if EZTV releases TV shows wouldnt realy bring more heat to the scene. So before post something like that think again.

EZTV is the best! Many times they release torrents for shows hours before they air here. And if the release is not perfect they usually get a PROPER added very quickly.

I list all their torrents on my site with names and air times.
