Licensed Dramas To Be Removed

Posted: Mon Aug 13, 2007 4:54 pm Post subject: Post Rating: 0

Can someone post a direct link for the download section at clubbox? Since im not Korean this is extremely hard to figure out how to use that site. I tried several links in this thread but but to no avail. (or even better yet, tell me how to get there and use that site)

Also, im running xp sp2 with modzilla. Hope it doesn't have any issues over at clubbox. Someone here mentioned you need to use explorer or something to that nature.

Thanks.

Good news: it seems quite a few of the YAE dvd's are now available on Yesasia's global site for shipping to Mexico, Australia, the Philippines, and countries in the EEA (European Economic Area), Central America, and South America. Sorry if this is old news, but I just found this out and was quite excited. Too bad they still don't have Goong though. For an extensive list of the countries: http://global.yesasia.com/help/Topic.aspx?topicId=971&lang=en

will d-a be pulling torrents for japanese dramas that are licensed? because Vampire Host has been licensed by Bandai and is out on dvd under the title Bloodhound: Vampire Gigolo.

i know i'll get bashed by someone for being a tattletale, but i'm one of those evil people who buys licensed dvds.

Yes perhaps it in USA licensed. But for me is very hard to find asian drama. I leave in Germany and I can find Asian drama. I download it raw for almost 1 year. I've to long wait for this subbed. Crying

I think you've right, but only for you personally view: you've pay for this. Can you think ever an peaple wo have not the choice?
Wub

But I've many time buy and payed and not become my disk. I'm sorry to say but many peaple are not good person. I've almost lost so many money, but have no one more think to abandon my passion for Asian Drama. This is for me the one way to become a serie that I wil see. thumleft

i'm not going to get into a debate over poor vs rich or visa vs mastercard or whatnot. I personally don't own those dvds. I'm not saying this because i've purchased them and just don't want others to get free what i paid for. but i've been thru the times when dramas/animes/movies were nearly impossible to get from overseas. i've done my time petitioning and supporting companies to license and translate shows and thankfully they have responded by doing just that. I would like for them to keep doing it. So i buy licensed dvds and encourage others to do so.

If d-a is going to pull torrents for other shows that have been licensed, i think they should be uniform and pull any show thats been licensed. its only fair and responsible and shows support for licensed shows.

Yes if its licensed then it will be removed.

personally, all the licenced dvd's i have bought, and its a fair bit, is because i have seen and downloaded the show here and loved it enough to buy the dvd set.
if i cant even see at least a preview episode, then the likelyhood i will purchase it goes to almost nill. by being able to see japanese dramas here and j-music from various places, i began to buy and collect the shows and music i liked.if a series is pulled/ not posted here, it has far less chance of me or others buying it.
it was sites like this( and d-addicts will always be my no.1 favorite) that introduced me to a culture i fell in love with,and prompted me to begin to learn the language.
the more series that are pulled, the less people will be able to have a similar experience of exposure.J-dramas are primarily designed to be supported by their japanese viewers, but those exposed here may also become fans and begin to buy. i dont believe that removing series here will increase dvd sales, or improve the industry.
anyway, just my thoughts

@lalia dawn
I disagree - if the licensed shows will not be pulled, we are risking to lose this forum and for many people the only chance to enjoy asian drama. Even without series that get licensed and pulled out, there are so many more that we can still get free and enjoy here. It's not a matter of increasing sales or improving the industry, it's a matter of survival. Plus it will maintain good relationship with the companies like YesAsia.
I too can't afford to buy full licensed shows, but I do buy some movies, that I really love...

sorry, just wanted to add one thing, d-addicts removed the licenced k-dramas at the request of the company. i think that until they are asked to remove dramas by the licencer or company involved, there need not be a blanket policy of removing licenced shows.sorry if this seems naieve, but i think alot of companies are prolly aware their products are available here and elsewhere, and if they dont actively try to stop it,then I imagine that they see it as promotion, or at least not as a threat to their sales.
ok all done Smile

waiting until they send letters and emails is not good. once they have their eye on you, they never take it off...and they sit and watch and keep track of everything that might pertain to them. policing ourselves is a darn sight better than being policed by others.
