Here I thought TechTV Call For Help was gone for good, It turns out that show has not disappeared from the air, Thank god. Instead its called The Lab With Leo Laporte. But wheres Amber, instead they have this chick that doesn't even belong on there as far as I'm concerned.

Howdy:

From what I could see, Call for Help is still under syndication which means the YouTube vids would be illegal. Thus, their links have been removed. If the episodes were available for downloading, they would be on the site just like the "Free Downloads" they offer.

The Lab has a web site... http://www.labwithleo.com ...complete with video segments.

There's even a holdover from the old TechTV network...live feeds of the taping of the show.

I'd like to see more of that really stroppy IT support guy - was he on Saturday Night Live some years back?

SNL has their own resident Computer guy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Burns,_Your_Company's_Computer_Guy). ;)

How is that illegal?, all I did was give a linked search term.

If I gave you a direct download that goes against the author's end agreement that would be different.

You guys aren't making any sense.

Unless your saying the member or members of YouTube did something illegal.

YouTube has been on the line of fire for quite some time now for copyright infringements.

The site itself isn't bad, just what some of the people are putting on it is not legally allowed to be shared.

Hmm.. I don't see why TV stations are making an issue out of it. besides once a TV show becomes a re-run, I don't see why it can't be posted on a video site. Besides TV stations are now re-running shows on their sites anyway. If it were a movie I could more understand. Does everything have to be a copyright fight. I think at times copyright fighting is just a game in the U.S. These technology outfits have been profiting off lawsuits. Day after Day I hear something. However I see why your not allowing it.
If YouTube is such a problem to them, why don't they just shut them down, like napster and kazaa.
Hey Thailand banned it.
