I wanted to let everyone know that there is a national protest
underway to reclaim our right to make backup copies of our own DVDs.
I don't know if any of you have kids, or like to travel with your DVDs
(or CDs, even), but there are many times that I would like to have a
backup copy so I don't have to worry about losing or scratching my
only copy. Let's be realistic, DVDs are expensive and the more you
have the more you want to protect your investment.

Which is why it makes no sense for the Courts to rule that we have the
right to back DVDs up, but no one has the right to sell us software to
do it. That's like saying we have the right to drive, but no one can
sell us a car. Yet, after pumping gobs of money into lawyers'
pockets, the big Hollywood studios have convinced the Courts to take
their side against us, the consumer. I guess they think they aren't
making enough money when we buy a DVD… they want to make sure we have
to buy the same DVD again if we lose or scratch it. Sounds a bit
greedy, doesn't it?

So I wanted to make sure you all knew about the protest campaign
underway. There is a cool website with all the details, information
about the Digital Right MeetUp, and great advocacy tools for letting
Hollywood, the media, and Congress know that our Fair Use Rights can't
be left on the cutting room floor. It is called
http://www.ProtectFairUse.org. Please visit it and join the protest.

true, and not only that, but I like to watch the episodes in thje proper story
order, and both the "Green Acres" and "Gilligan's Island" dvd sets do not have
the episodes in the proper story order.

People in this newsgroup have said that they are too in the proper story order.

But they're not. Results of actions are shown before the causes of those
actions in episodes that are not flashbacks.

For instance, in the "Gilligan's Island" dvd set, the episode where Ginger
wears the dress made from Gilligan's duffel bag (with Gilligan already knowing
about it) is shown before the episode where Ginger firsts makes the deewss fron
Gilligan's duffel bag and first tells Gilligan about it , when he tells her
that it's a nice dress.

In the Green Acres dvd set, the episode where Oliver's mother is already in
Hooterville is shown before the episode where she first leaves for Hooterville
and sees Hooterville for the first time.

Yet the idiots in these newsgroups claim that that is the proper story order.

Even though none of the four episodes I mentioned contained any flashback
sequence.

But then... you are starting to look as if you qualify.
