I can't have it.... Sad

But, at least I can drive something that Takumi drives Evil or Very Mad

scooter I bought 2-3 months ago

Same black colore, same 3 spoke rims.
I swear it has nothing to do with Initial D!!!

I think it's the one where the enemy team spill oil on the road and Keisuke crashes his efou-dee (FD). Takumi uses the scooter to check out track details.

ZaX?

It's stage 4 allright, not completely sure which episode but I remember them checking out the track with scooters, not sure if it was because of the oil, or because Rousuke tells them to go by scooter so they can see things in the road better..

I'm rewatching stage 4 now while I do my training every day, watching episodes 5/6 tonight, we'll let you know when I see scooters:D

Jups me too, anyone happen to know a good source of torrents?

(or would that be against the policy of the forum? can't remember)

I think using torrents are legal because you don't share full copyrighted materials only little parts of them. But correct me if I'm wrong...

The torrentspy site is good enough BTW (this is no link, so can't be against rules... Wink

)

You bought an Italian scooter!!!!!! Puh

Scooters are nice for the summer, but get boring pretty fast.

Direct links to torrents are not allowed, but zax pointed you in the right direction Very Happy

Sutter, bittorrent is a file transfer system where you are downloading and uploading files (peer2peer) so downloading copyrighted material this way is, by europian law, illegal. It doesn't matter that you're not downloading / uploading the whole thing. Its the uploading bit that gets you into trouble. Else people would just remove the last or first 5 minutes of a movie and say "I didn't download/upload the intire thing!"

Downloading illegal content still isn't illegal everywhere though, its the making content available that is (i.e. uploading).

Not wanting to step to much into the trap, but as you can read on animesuki there is a bit of a loophole where Anime is concerned for us Europians. Initial D is copyrighted and is thus owned by the creators of Initial D. However, it has been made in Japan and is trademarked and licensed (or whatever) in Japan. It hasn't (yet) been licensed outside of Japan.

For us Initial D enthousiasts that means, no legal subtitled copies produced ANYWHERE in the world (atleast for stage 4, stage 1 and 2 are now offcourse being subtitled and r***d by tokyo pop). Only japanese copies sold. Very unfortunate. It however also means, no license outside of Japan = no protection outside of Japan. Yes the material is copyrighted, but there is nobody around to take legal action. Nobody in europe represents the makers of Initial D because nobody has licensed the material here.

It's the same as patenting an invention, or something similar, your patent only protects you for asfar as you're willing to pay.

Does mean that when someone licenses the material here, they can take action against anybody who at that time already makes illegal copies available as the material is copyrighted from the start (which is a bit of a difference with my patent example, authors are better protected then inventors in that way).

It also means that aslong as nobody licenses the material, legal english subtitled version simply do not exist and for us to watch Initial D means, breaking the law whether we like it or not.

So if anyone got some spare cash around (and I mean you need to win the state lotery first), LICENSE INITIAL D IN EUROPE, SUBTITLE IT IN ENGLISH (dont go tokyopops route and dub it using some rap influenced voice actors) and sell it to all of us for a realistic price (so not 50 euros per 3 episodes, the damn series already counts over 100 eps!!)

Thanks for listening to me, if your out there.. please be out there..
