Mighty Ducks DVD

Being a non-season ticket holder from Edison, NJ...I was wondering if there was a way I could get a copy of the DVD that was handed out to season ticket holders.

Does the team sell them? Any of you season ticket holders lookin' to sell?

id like to have a copy of the dvd...anyone know how to get it?

It will be available at the Disney Store, they're not sure when, they estimate it'll cost around 25 bucks.

What a rip off. I rather burn the DVD and save myself 24 bucks.

When you do, make some copies for the rest of us. ;)

It's supposedly very good, very well-produced. I don't think the price is that outrageous.

haha yeah we should all pitch in to buy 1 copy, and then burn the rest of them :)

hehe hey guys,i think we just brought up a brilliant plan..someone buy a dvd and burn it and send it out...*points pinky to lip* bwahaha :joker: ..

I have the DVD. I got it with my season tickets this year. It was very good, but since I taped most of the games (mostly the aways, since I went to all the home games), I have looked back on the incredible run we had. I wish the dvd had included more comments about the critical goals that were scored. Like Krog and Thomas vs. Detroit, gm 2. Had they not scored, it would have been 1-1 going back to Anaheim, and maybe would have been a different outcome.

Niedermayer skating past Zubov to score shorthanded, and Oates and Leclerc's assists on the GWG in the fifth OT of gm 1 vs. Dallas. Ozolinsh heading for the crease just as Turco layed a FAT rebound off Leclerc's shot, with a minute left in gm 6, and right after Dallas had tied the score.

I'm sure they mention all the goal scorers and such, but I felt that they missed some of the excitement of the playoffs by not going into a little more detail.

All in all, it's a great reminder of last year's success, and I recommend that all fans see it. It will be fun to see if they can recreate some of that magic again. And, NO, you can't copy mine! Hey, it's possible that they will air it on FSW as a preseason promo. I'll keep my eyes open.

Roy Batty, did they feature Ozo's goal on Brodeur is gm.3 of the STF?

IAnd, NO, you can't copy mine!

lol

How did the DVD handle the whole Kariya "situation"?

I wasn't quite sure which Kariya "situation" you meant, so I'll comment on two that I know of.

First, there is no mention of Kariya leaving the Ducks anywhere on the disk. His comments are about the bright future of the team, especially with JS in goal.

Second, if you are referring to the Stevens hit in game 6 of the SCF, they played it up to the max. Very dramatic, step by step, with the triumphant end being the goal scored, and the game won, sending the teams to a climactic game 7.

I watched it again last night to refresh my memory. It starts with Murray behind the bench the year before, mentions the importance of the Sykora trade during the draft, picking up Ozo at the All-Star break, and Thomas and Nieds at the deadline.

Then the playoffs start, and there are interviews with Wing players talking about how it's all about winning the cup. There are great play-by-play snippets by ESPN, FSW and various radio announcers, and the whole thing is narrated by John Ahlers.

Ok, if you promise to return it, I'll let you "watch" my copy. :D

Let's talk about it. :p

I'll probably buy the DVD.

Ohhhhhhhh, I've seen this then. They played it on Fox Sports West not long after the season was over. I recorded it on VHS when it was on, but I don't think I have it anymore.

Wait a minute. If it's that one maybe I won't buy it. I recorded it off the air onto VHS also. And, I wasn't that impressed with it.

No, it isn't the dinky special they ran on Fox Sports West. It has some of the same footage, but it's different, longer, and much better, IMO.

what happend to making a copy of it?...anyone mind making a copy and sending it?..id appreciate it so much

Yeah I'd make sure it isnt the Fox Sports crappy show they ran right after the playoffs, before I'd buy it...that show was unimpressive for sure.

are u sure its a lot better than the fox sports version?

Absolutely. Definitely a worthwhile collector's item. I can't wait to get my own.

$25 isn't that much, folks. And just as a side note, you put this board at risk when you talk of openly pirating copyrighted material here. I'm just sayin'.

I was thinking the same thing.

Talking about pirating is fine. We still have the First Amendment rights the last time I checked. But any requests or propositions should be done via PM.

ex.

LEGAL: "Should people burn the DVD or spend 25 bucks?"

ILLEGAL: "Hey bro, let me have your copy so I can burn it."

I guess, but really if you can afford DVD copying and burning equipment, you can afford a measly $25. If you can't afford $25, then you surely can't afford to be going to any hockey games, paying for cable to watch hockey games, and probably can't afford to pay for an ISP so that you can discuss hockey online.

Talking about doing illegal things is still legal, unless dvd piracy became a terrorist act while I wasn't looking.

Two reasons:

1) People get a thrill from cheating or getting a deal. Its like a xmas sale that keeps on giving. :)

2) 25 bucks for a DVD that costs pennys out of dollar to make. If it only costs 1 dollar to make each DVD(including hiring some guy to put all those stock footage together), that's like a 2500% profit, considering the fact that this product was made free of charge for all season seat holders. IMO, its time to stick it to the MAN.

All I know is that there is audio and video from multiple networks (CBC, MSG, ESPN, ABC, FSW, and Detroit, Dallas and NJ TV and Radio, etc.) which had to be paid for, plus top quality production. And I wonder if they have to offer something to those that gave interviews (Melrose, Brian Hayward, Ducks staff and coaches)? Ok, not Melrose. He'd do it for free!

I doubt they're making much money on them. Hey, you can probably get one on Ebay! (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2754741756&category=25219)

41 freaking bucks? I thought the economy was bad?

Uh, no, it isn't legal. It's known as conspiracy to commit fraud, and if Disney ever found out about it, it would certainly be worth a C&D from their lawyers to the website administrators followed by a notice to whomever is supplying the bandwidth. I run my own hosting facility, and I receive about three of these a month for similiar offenses.

Exactly. This isn't a bunch of stock footage spliced together, it's a nice, well-produced look back at the season.

I'll probably just buy it then. Anyone know where I can order it online or the Disney's Store # (area code for us people in FL) Sounds like a nice dvd.

Really? It was my understanding that conspiracy involved something more than a simple declaration.

From what I hear, it'll be available at the team store once the regular season gets underway. Season ticket holders just got them early.

My remark was in response to the question of "what happened to making a copy of it? anyone mind making a copy and sending it?" I just wanted to make everyone aware of the potential consequences of further public discussion on this topic. If somebody responded and said, "I'll do it. PM me with your address," that's conspiracy.

While none of the previous comments would hold up in court, they wouldn't have to. "I'd rather burn the DVD then pay for it" followed by "hey, let's all pitch in and buy one DVD and burn copies" is enough to get Disney's lawyers interested, and let me tell you from personal experience that they are the most tenacious people in the world when it comes to copyright protection. And while the board administrators may be willing to defend what people say here, the hosting facility isn't going to give a damn. They're just going to want the threatening letters to stop.

Doesn't make it right. Just because you CAN steal something doesn't mean you should. I COULD run out on a check at the local restaurant when they're too busy to pay close attention, but I don't.

If you don't think it's worth what they're asking, don't buy it. Hey, I think Porsches are vastly overpriced for what you get, so does that mean I'm justified in stealing one from a dealership? Course not.

Who cares that season seat holders got it free? They pay thousands a year to watch the Ducks, so if they get a perk here and there, they deserve it. If you want the same treatment, buy season tickets.

Legality, illegality, its all a matter of semantics really. Everyone has a right to make one backup copy of books, cds, DVDs, etc that belongs to them. If for instance I borrow someone's DVD, possession is really passing from one person to another although we didn't exchange money. So is it not in my right to make a copy of the DVD since it now belongs to me?

A very good philosophical question indeed. But if there was no consequence for not paying, would you still pay? Lets add another dimension to this question. If everyone in the restaurant know there was no consequence to not paying (ie no police, no jail) and everyone skips out on the check, would you still be as willing to pay?

Fact is, you can run out on the check quite easily if you really wanted to, with no direct consequence. Not very many restaurants have police officers waiting outside to arrest you if you don't pay.

But ultimately, there is a consequence. If no one ever pays, the restaurant will go out of business. Though we tend to take it for granted, any kind of successful economic system is largely based on the honor system. When you give a store your credit card, you're trusting them not to take the number and screw you, for example. And you're trusting that the product you buy is not a lemon (unless you're literally buying lemons, of course).

A small percentage of consumers or vendors are dishonest, but the reality is that they remain the minority, able to do so only because of the honesty of the other customers who keep the system running. They're leeches, no matter how they may care to dress it up or justify their actions.
