Final Gear Final?



This happened only 3 weeks after I found this nice site.

Even BBC did not say a word! The ISP just gave an ultimatum to Final Gear, demanding that all downloads to be taken away or they will take action.

It sucks. Think about this, even Top Gear (BBC) did not say a word, you really think they do not know this?

Lucky me. I have downloaded all available episodes till now. Time to burn a few DVDs.

Well, turns out that I was wrong. It WAS BBC who put a stop to the downloads on FG: http://www.finalgear.com/news/2005/06/01/well-we-got-a-cease-desist-for-top-gear/

This is happening probably becaseu Discovery Channel is airing a re-packaged, second-hand, cut-and-shrinked version of Top Gear:

The Discovery version is NOT wide screen, even the picture quality is not as good as the downloaded original version. Shame on Discovery.
