However, and I just went and checked, and as of today 1/3 of the years (81, 86, 87, 89, 90, 94, 96, 98, 99) of Legacy DVD's aren't available for sale anymore. This will increase as other years remaining inventory is sold. So, not a viable strategy for someone wanting to watch DCI's back catalogue. Mike Its a shame these are no longer available... except on youtube... and not all of them are there, nor all of the ones posted of high quality reproduction.

So... like I said in the first place - just go to Youtube. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Just going to YouTube will not suffice the request of the OP because, A) not all DCI seasons and Corps shows are available on YouTube, and B) unless a person has direct permission from the copyright holders that person cannot legally upload nor download copyrighted material on YouTube.

I believe Drum Corps World may still have them on their website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Someone needs to make sure all these videos are preserved until the works in question fall into the public domain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you have legally purchased all the videos, you can lock them away in a time capsule if you so choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu, I think you're a great source of DCI knowledge and have happily read your posts for a long while, but I'm not sure you actually read the OP before sending him to purchase videos that are not even available, then arguing about the morality of copyright. He never said he wanted to own or download the videos, merely to watch. Which is not illegal on YouTube. The legality of copyright rests with the uploader, not the viewer.

Mike First, thanks for the compliment. Your posts have also been a great source of info and insightful. On occasion I have seen the Legacy discs available used on Ebay, Craigslist, and even through CD Wearhouse. So they are on occasion available used. As for YouTube, I have stated a few times that while many shows are on there many are not. So that will not completely satisfy the OP request. The part about the illegality or legality of upload, of course that is on the person who uploads; and while a person can watch videos on YouTube, I was merely stating that it is illegal for anyone to download (rip) copyrighted material off of YouTube without permission from the copyright holder.
