Anyone want to do a WSOP DVD group purchase?

[Syntax]

People are pirating 19 years of WSOP on Ebay, and they are going for about $100.

If we get a bunch of people to kick in, we can purchase a set cheaply. Reply to this thread if youre interested and if enough people are we can arrange it.

yeah we should probably advocate some more illegal activities. that sounds like fun.

if youre feeling guilty about pirating from pirates on ebay there is something wrong...also, what they are doing is illegal, selling an espn program. i dont know how it is still listed on ebay at all.

pirating from pirates is the same as pirating from the original source. of course i never expected you to care anyway. stealing is normal for you.

when i first started playing online, my roommate and i would sit next to each other and play at the same table on our laptops. Pacific poker even lets duplicate ip's play. for other sites we would just use dsl/aol and it was VERY effective. i can imagine that since everyone is thinking about it, many are probably doing it.

yeah definately, i'm interested. i'm going to send you a pm with my contact info.

I'm interested. PM me if you want to include me. However, I don't have paypal, so I'll have to send a check to whomever collects the money. Also, please don't ask me to do any of the copying because I'm a moron when it comes to technology.

Has anyone had any luck finding these on kazaa/emule/bittorrent/dc++? I've been looking on kazaa for a while, but I've only been able to find 2003.

Call it stealing, pirating, immoral, whatever. Thats not what this is about.

I never had a chance to see most of those WSOP's when they first aired. I guess I was too young or I wasn't very much interested in poker then. Im sure many posters here are in the same boat. I wish ESPN would air some of the series, instead of the 2003 series for the 100th time. But they are not going too.

From what I understand, the pirated copies they are selling on Ebay are VHS quality and very poorly transferred. I just want to have the opportunity to see guys like Stu Ungar, Johnny Chan, Phil Hellmuth win the WSOP.

If Harrahs/Bininions were ever to release these on DVD I would purchase them in an instant. But from what I hear, they probably wont ever, and that the master tapes may be lost. So a copy of these ripped DVD's are probably my only chance.

Theres no reason we should be paying these pirates hundred a set for something that does not belong to them.

We are not looking to profit off of something here, just to see the game we love, because theres NO other way.

So far there are about 5 poeple to PM me about this. I hope a few more will and we might be able to do this for about $10 bucks each.
