Turning dvd/video

Here you go, you choose the place.

is an "exotic oyster box?" Do exotic oysters require a different kind of box than common ones? For that matter, what is an oyster box? Owen Davies

Darned if I know. I just work here Boss. The guy was, as far as I could tell, looking to get a ripped off version of the DVD. Rather than come on as a person who is disgusted by thieves and get *that* thread going again, I just did a basic Google and posted the URL. I figure that either he's too lame/lazy to do his own search or he really is a thief and won't be interested in the Google. If he replies, we'll know what he is.

I've got a whole buncho branches waiting to become oysters.

Haven't figured out how to do barnacles yet.

I got mine from Craft Supplies in Provo, Utah for $34.99 plus shipping. Why would you want to steal one?

Could be, I guess.

Nice work. I particularly liked the laburnum sample.

He didn't SAY that he wanted to steal one. That was an assumption, which may or may not be valid.

Some products are available for paid, electronic delivery, with digital rights management, and at a lower license cost. I bought three books recently in such a form, through Amazon. $18, and I had them right away. In traditional printed form, the bill would have been closer to $60, and would have taken at least two or three days.

One day, this Internet thing is going to have an effect on the way we do things. ;-)

Neither Jimmy nor Avanticom, the DVD manufacturer / distributor, has made this [legally] available in an online format - in the UK at least.

Hello again Jonathon. Glad to see that you're still poppping in. That is what I suspected, and though I gave him the benefit of a doubt by publishing the URl where he could get the video legally, I see that he is back asking again for a d/l site. This makes me fairly certain that he, in fact, wants to steal a copy.

Hello All,

This is an oyster box, the small silver object on this is a honey bee.

Many thanks. This is the first time I have seen one. Suddenly, it's clear where the name originates.

Hi there Dave. I relegated myself to the status of "lurker" here - a regular reader but to all intents and purposes, no other involvement of note / interest.

That he yet again seeks a download site would seem to confirm your sentiment - and I will pass this flattering interest onto Jimmy when next we speak.

Whilst I am no turner myself and have NO financial interest in the item [DVD], it does seem to have been well received and that, sadly, leads people to want it but on unrecognised trade terms!

It's good that you hadn't left entirely after that last little bit of nastiness a while ago. I'm sure you've noticed the problems we've recently had with copyright issues, both here and on rec.woodworking. An odd compliment, indeed.

Dave in Fairfax

"Biffers'" other post across the NGs sought a software crack - your initial assessment looks to have been correct.

Copyright seems to be both a huge and grey issue - I follow a photography board (lurk mode only) and it seems to be an area that causes real problems.

Thanks foryour kind comment - I will no longer post regarding the collection / website on account of this and to avoid any futher unnecessary threads on the board.

Thay is truly unfortunate for a variety of reasons. The collection is *very* impressive and one that, I suspect, the majority of the newer people on the NG know nothing about. I can certainly understand your desire to avoid the unrestrained flaming, though.

Take care, Dave in Fairfax
