I fell asleep during the 5th set of the Safin/Gonzo match! Even that Nadal match was just a little bit above meh for me.

Now that says it all.

They'll want us watching when a Brit wins Wimbledon, which is never. Andy Murray doesn't count, he's Scottish. It's like Americans rooting for a Puerta Rican.

Isn't Puerta from Argentina?

Hang on there, andy murray does count as a brit because he's from scotland as scotland is part of the united kingdom of great britain.
If you had said, he doesn't count cause he's not ENGLISH, you'd be on the right track, but he is british. There is no comparison between scotland and england and american and a south american country as the situation is totally different.

Don/Tennis Warehouse

Well, YouTube is still awash with wimbledon clips. Iif anything, they are the ones who should be told to remove it, not those who just post the url to youtube. It's as if someone sets up shop selling merchandise without proper permit, and they are left alone. But a local guy giving directions to the shop, or pointing to it on a map, gets threatened and is told to keep his mouth shut or else.

Whatever it might be that's illegal about showing Wimbledon footage, it's not the URL that's illegal. The url is just a string of characters. If they want something done, they should deal with YouTube and have them remove it. There is nothing illegal about posting urls, for Christ's sake!

The All England Lawn & Tennis Club are in a time warp and still think it's the 1920's

this thread is hilarious. and i think deuce meant rooting for a Puerto Rican. which, by the way, is an island in the caribbean, not a south american country. hilarious!

VikingSamurai · 06-01-2007, 03:51 AM

Well, what has Tennis Warehouse got to do with Wimbledon anyway?.. Shouldn't TW decide what is allowed on its own site?..

If Wimbledon are paying TW to do this, I could understand. But in all honesty. What has TW got to gain by agreeing to their request?

If they don't owe the All England Club anything. Then growing some balls may be in order me thinks?

TheHuntor · 06-26-2007, 11:48 AM

The All England Lawn Club can just go suck a u know what. If they have enough money and eliteness to deny former Wimbledon champions membership because of religion, then in no circumstance do I have sympathy for their financial situation, especially regarding something that should be free anyway. So in other words, the can go F*** themselves.

Fortunately, it is extremely easy to find these live feeds. Trying to censor the internet is a fools errand.

07-09-2007, 03:29 AM

Useless, since one can find any tennis match as Torrents. Try any one of Torrents search engine and you will find whatever you want and despite that its legal because they are just Torrents search engine

inquisitive · 07-11-2007, 07:14 PM

I think they just don't want the matches shown live. As far as downloading the matches thru torrents, i don't think anyone cares.

No, it's still not legal.

It is legal for the torrents engine to exist, since they are not distributing the material. It's still illegal for whoever is uploading or downloading the material. That's how I understand it.

Now, nobody really cares about torrents of tennis matches, but that doesn't make it legal, I don't think...

Just use YouTube; cannot expect TW to risk infringement action. Also tons of highlights etc. on Stage6 . . . .

This is very encouraging .... perhaps if those in the know with the power to make changes are watching these threads, our comments will have some influence

Maybe Mary Carillo is on the way out, LOL

I don't blame tennis warehouse for wanting to avoid copyright lawsuits.

But this is such crap. NBC and ESPN don't show many of the matches, even high profile semifinals. The Wimbledon website doesn't work with Macintosh. They aren't giving me many options. Basically, they're saying that they won't show it on a tv channel I can access, and they won't netcast it on a system that works with my computer. Oh, but respect our copyrights and "don't be a pirate", because that would be, you know, wrong.

They really are jackasses.

Ya, I had a message on the PC folder of my Macintosh and it said to upgrade to I.E. whatever ... I did that and then my Media Player would NOT work at all, did before ... then they demanded that I check the version of X P Professional that I have (which I bought WITH a license off e*B*y for $100) and they said that was invalid.

Soooooo I had to pay $150 US to upgrade my X P Professional in order to use anything on my Windoze emulator .... THEN another $25 for Wimby Live ... so it cost me $175 just to be able to watch on my computer what the networks are too ignorant to provide good coverage of ...

but things could be a lot worse, I might not have had the $175 like many folks and not gotten to see most of Wimby at all.

This is suuuuuuch a racquet~ and I am not talking about the one on the tennis courts.
