Rocketman Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I thought at one time you had the ability to actually get a dvd of your favorite corps fairly quickly at DCI (same day?) Was/is that still happening? If so, what is the company that was doing it. Thanks, RM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suviduvi Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 the dvd's have not been available the past 2 years...copyright issues....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouooga Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 At least in 04 and 05 you could get a copy of a quarters/semis performance at the show. I bought my semi's performance about half an hour after my performance and had it in my hands ten minutes later. I'm not sure if you can order them later on though... Finals they won't sell because then no one would wait for the DVDs. Well, some people would, but still.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccerguy315 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 as mentioned, they weren't sold the last 2 years. I don't understand the "copyright issues" since they make and sell DVDs of the performances a couple months later. Really, it's pretty crappy. If you marched a show, you don't get to see it until November / December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeke Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I was looking all around for their Booth in the Souvie area finals night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tekneek Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 (edited) If it is copyright reasons, the RIAA and related folks are really sucking the life out of everything they can. "Back in my day" there were people buying videos before they were even out of uniform. You could get just about anything on video back then, as well. I wish I had more money at the time because I would've bought everything. Now you can't even get audio recordings for the top 12 throughout DCI history (just check the downloads area of dci.org and see how many are missing), nevermind actually hoping to see recordings available of non-finalist corps from years past. The new aggressive style of "copyright enforcement" actually reduces revenue for the very people they are supposedly trying to protect.

hughesmr Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 If it is copyright reasons, the RIAA and related folks are really sucking the life out of everything they can. Replace "RIAA" with "Napster" and you'd be closer to the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tekneek Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Replace "RIAA" with "Napster" and you'd be closer to the truth. Think all the recent oppression regarding copyrights is due to Napster waking up the sleeping giant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I was bumbed when they stopped. Last year was the first time my corps hadn't made finals (since 2001), and because of that, I was unable to purchase a video recording of their show :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStarsBari Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 (edited) if anything dci should go spaceballs style and create dvds that are done before the show is finished....oh yeah.... Edited August 17, 2007 by BlueStarsBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
