Otherwise, there are too many Canadians who can get the regular, standard broadcast from CBS and NBC stations here in the US, as many major Canadian cities are close enough to the US border, and the signals know no boundaries. At least that's what I've heard/read.<br /><br />I'm familiar with one uploader (with several aliases) who does the day-ahead Y&R show who's been running from the "copyright police" for something like two or more years now. They get shut down and start someplace new almost immediately. Not sure what the motivation is, but it's become like a game of hide and seek. .. Okay, whatever floats your boat. .. lol!FoxCranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13826849478948616154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-5872199538740414732013-12-18T02:56:31.757-05:002013-12-18T02:56:31.757-05:00Just to add: The date of "December 17, 1993&...Just to add: The date of "December 17, 1993" as Kassie Wesley's debut in the role of "Blair" on ONE LIFE TO LIVE was officially reported in the article:<br /><br />"GL Grad Is OLTL's New Blair." <i>Soap Opera Digest</i> 4 Jan.1994: 10.

It's Sony's property but it doesn't seem like there's any plan to ever release any of it. Perhaps the old episodes are available globally on YouTube and they are selling old episodes to countries outside the US. As a soap fan, old episodes are treasures and I hate it when they are removed.Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-10209952863009024332013-12-17T22:27:42.508-05:002013-12-17T22:27:42.508-05:00Thanks, I wish I had more.

As someone who's worked with intellectual property in my job, I totally 'get' the claims against websites or channels that upload full episodes of shows, thereby in a sense offering another venue to watch an entire episode or series. That's clearly wrong. What I don't get are these claims against uploading historical clips from parts of old episodes (like this one with Heather Tom was) - especially when the property owner is not providing them anywhere else to generate revenue. (Sony Crackle, are you listening?) I personally think that such clips actually help attract and/or keep some viewers interested in the show as a cultural phenomenon. <br /><br />Also, when it comes to Y&R, I don't see how CBS can claim copyright on historical episodes. They don't own the show. Sony does. I was once told by a rep at CBS Television City here in Los Angeles that Y&R's licensing contract allows them the right to broadcast one complete showing of the current day's episode in the USA, and that's it.

I can't remember if it was CBS or Sony who asked for the vids to be pulled. Weird thing is that some were multi-parts of episodes and they pulled certain segments while leaving others (from the same day's episode) posted.
