Hey everyone - I stumbled onto this just now and was wanting to post it on here because Ive been finding it hard to find other P&T videos on the internet and thought it may be of some use to other folks.

You obviously haven't been looking very hard, I just found it on Amazon for £6 second hand. No need to resort to piracy at all

Yeah I found that out early smart *rse -
But how about all of the other people who want to watch some clips for nothing?
How about all the other people who don’t want to spend £6 and wait to receive a video cassette?
And the point of your reply was what may I add? So many questions yeah, but you clearly have time on your hands to reply as I gather from your last reply mate.

mind your manners johnson...go read the forum rules about politeness...

My point was that it's copyright infringement, which is frown upon around here

'kolm' - your point was that you had to try and find some kinda 'better' solution yeah, if your point was to state the infringement of products then just say that, instead of projecting some smarmy comment about me not looking hard enough haha.

and yeah ok sorry i wasnt polite but there isnt any need for someone saying such a thing. i understand ive over reacted but i still see it as someone who is infatuated by correcting other peoples actions when they were meant as a good gesture tis all.

For what its worth, I saw the series when it was on channel 4 and got the best of video, but have been looking for full episodes on the net since. Cheers.

If you thought my comment was smarmy, have a look through the responses that other people ripping copyright materials have got

Message for Luke Johnson: The point of paying £6 rather than resorting to piracy is this; downloading a pirated version is theft. Penn and Teller spent years growing their profile to the point they could do those television shows. That is their income. And by downloading it you are taking their income.
Those of us who have written books or produced shows have an intellectual copywrite on the material, and you have no right to take it without paying for it. I know it goes on, but that doesn't make it right.

To be fair, a second hand copy doesn't benefit Penn and Teller. But I agree with your principle.

Cool video though.

Shouldnt mods remove links to pirated material?

Yeah! Your right. I'm going to be revealing long hidden methods on magic and mentalism on youtube and posting the clips hear. Sure its against the rules of both T.M and the magic community, but what about all those people who don't want to practice and just want to know how its done?

And I can park my car in an ambulance zone if I want to. Sure its against the rules but what about all those people who don't want to pay the meter to go out to a restaurant.

Are you implying Penn and Tellers performances aren't worth £6?

I don't think he's implying it, so much as just blatantly saying it.
