Hey, sorry to necro but I had a conversation recently about video preservation and this thread came to mind. When I went to get a link to show to the person I was speaking with, I was surprised to find it dead for 2 years. I don't mean to bring up drama or anything but can someone explain to me what happened with Shibby? I'm honestly just really curious.
Shibby was taking a lot of work people had done in this forum and was illegally selling it on their own site. So we chased them out of the forum and got their site taken down.
Man... that's disappointing. Thanks for clearing that up for me though!

I'm still mad I was helping him gather and share things. Nothing I've ever shared involved money or myself taking credit for anything. I was just circulating the tapes.
I hope he stays gone.

Sadly, his "vault" is still very much alive and selling collections of TV shows, movies, radio shows, anime, etc. on physical media.

A, rare, thought came to my mind or maybe a worry. I have been doing a lot of ripping of VHS cassettes and posting the "rare" ones (the ones that you just cant find anywhere) on YouTube and Archive.org. So people can enjoy movies like Mr. No Legs. lol Should I watermark my stuff? I don't mind people using my stuff for personal. I'm just saving utter garbage cheese movies so everyone can enjoy. I don't want people to make money off me and my daughter's hard work (I'm using it as a teachable moment for film editing). I have a lot of very rare public domain filth that I paid a good $10 for the box of VHS tapes it came in. lol

The truth is that, even if it isn't Shitby, there is always some other scumbag out there that will do it. Hell, I think it's likely that Shitby created a new account and is still lurking around. I wouldn't worry about it. The more we make this stuff available, the less that clunty corks like Shitby can be successful.

Strewth. I've had a similar thought recently, even.
Thanks for all you contribute Itsizz!

Although I hate to give a link to Shitface's "business" I feel it's justified because if you scroll down there is a comment form, and I'm sure many many members here would love to comment to him about our true feelings about him and our hopes for what his future will be. I know for a fact he gets these comments or at least someone on his staff (probably just his alcoholic, crack smoking Mom, and maybe his sister-wife) reads them, or reads them to him since he's illiterate. Go ahead, send him a "How ya doin'" love note, it'll make his day!

I wouldn't watermark. If it's rare stuff, it could end up being the only version people can find in the future and having watermarks over the content can kind of ruin it.
