Top gear is 10x better than any car show we have here.

trucks has been gay as hell from the start, i don't care who hosts it. i did like to laugh at stacy's fantastic mullett though.

speaking of, did anyone watch horsepower tv today? the guys sang some sort of gay wanna be rock song to celebrate a certain number of years on the air. they had stacey david in there on a guitar, ahaha.

Decent episode, good to see it's the same shit I always enjoy. The rocket car was crazy, .4 seconds and it's over.

Good review, good segments, can't wait to see how the season shapes up.

And this is about the only show worth downloading.

trucks sucked. Its horribly hosted in a n00bified way like the show was meant for elementary kids.

Is it legal to download Top Gear via bit torrent or some other means?

2/8/2007 3:03:11 PM

its a grey area.

2/8/2007 4:11:05 PM

How so?

2/8/2007 4:15:12 PM

that means only if they come after you

it's BBC copyrighted broadcast, and the US and GB have copyright exchange laws. So that would make it illegal.

Except BBC and BBC2 are the equivalent of PBS over here, they are government funded and publicly supported (largely) semi-quasi-private entities. So you can "fair-use" save/distribute/blah the programming, but who knows if that applies here, or what the limits are to the fair use.

Basically: we can't legally get it here in ANY way, so I can't see how in the world anyone could be pissed about people torrenting it, when it's free OTA in britain anyway (anyone can chime in here that knows any differently)

a year or so ago they tried to crack down on it and some officials were even posting in the forums, but they eventually gave up their campaign. maybe all the posters from areas were it wasnt even broadcast showed them how much the torrents were increasing their fan base?

2/8/2007 5:59:14 PM

yea, no clue there.

2/8/2007 6:57:22 PM

today is the us episode, i cant wait
when they were filming it some of the people were posting sightings on the forums, it should be a good episode

2/11/2007 3:38:36 PM

hahahah, it's like the British version of Borat.

I can't believe they managed that shit

-also, someone should have told them about craigslist, they could have gotten hella better cars for a grand off craigslist no problem
