It seems to me that the major reason why Boiling Rock discussion is banned here is because DH operates under the Proboards banner. Avatarspirit, Gamefaqs, IMDB, TV.com, and other major boards that are currently allowing full Boiling Rock discussion (with spoilers carefully marked) operate under their own servers and are thus under less corporate pressure to comply. DH's policies seem a lot more understandable when placed in this context.
Only one more week, guys... ^_^

^^Umm, this is not a thread to discuss the episode. It is an announcement concerning the episodes, that say we are not going to disscuss these episodes.

Do you think PE likes grinding up disobediant dolphins and drinking them? >_> Well actually she does . . . . but do you think I enjoy watching PE grind up disobediant dolphins? XD It's not that I *like* it, but somebody has to do it! Yes, I'm that selfless, I'm willing to take one for the team. Unlike you, Tungsten, who's perfectly happy to watch others toil away, grinding away disobedient dolphins, and then having to drink them. Seriously, they taste like a cross between fish and people. Sorta like what I imagine mermaids would taste like. Do. Not. Want! But no, you enjoy your mocha frappucino while I do all the hard work, Mr. Admin. ...hack...

I can imagine those dolphins taste like there's a party in your mouth and everyone's puking. . . . ewww no thank you I'd rather stick to enjoying my mocha frappucino because with frappucino's the only blood I have to drink is the blood of Columbia coffee bean pickers Oh and Ardor before you call the Protect the Dolphins people and the or form an angry mob against the coffee joke remember that I'm the reason for the teardrops on your guitar you know the only reason why you keep on wishing on a wishing star heh heh . . . . oh gawd I'm so dead aren't I

what I don't understand is what they have to do with us choosing to not allow BR discussion on this forum until the dvd is officially released next week. Especially since we've taken this action with previous illegally leaked episodes. What I don't understand is why the denial since these episodes weren't illegally leaked. The dvds were physically produced, shipped, legally sold, and legally purchased. Unfortunate for the writers who hate leaks but true nonetheless. If Viacom is unhappy with that, they should go after Blockbuster and other stores that sold them, not the people who saw them as a result. Ignoring the episodes as if they haven't aired, haven't been posted online, and haven't been seen doesn't change one thing: they have been posted online, and people have seen them. Not complaining, just baffled.

It's not a legal thing, though. All Viacom has to do is ask Proboards to shut this place down and they have to do it. Our country is a corporatocracy and all the laws in this case favor the corporation, in this case, Viacom. They can get any Avatar forum on the net shut down and there's really not much the staff here could do about it, especially if there's something on the forum of legal ambiguity (episode spoilers for episodes on a DVD released before the street date). The burden of proof would be on the admins here to prove that something illegal was not being done, not on Viacom to prove that something illegal was.

What law says it's illegal to give away the plot of a show on dvd? I believe you, it just sounds ridiculous.

What law says it's illegal to give away the plot of a show on dvd? I believe you, it just sounds ridiculous. Because the DVD wasn't released yet. Retailers may get DVDs in advance to assure they will have them in on the release date, but they are LEGALLY not allowed to to sell/rent/even announce they have them until the release date. The DVD comes out May 6th. The episodes were leaked early by a Blockbuster employee. Once the DVD comes out, discussions will be permitted again. *And just so my post isn't completely rational and on-topic.* Ooooooooooooooh! Ardor! You hear THAT? I think Tungsten needs a sock to the jaw a stern talking to!
