I think its a shame that everyones just gonna get the footage and then put crappy copies of it all over the internet.
But....whatever. Its what everyone seems to do with everything else.
You can all watch it on your iphones.
Didn't U realized that not everyone can afford to download 400GB of HD footages or even can't play HD because of a lack of equipment...I'm in this case!!
So the only hope for me to enjoy this is to wait for "smaller crappy copies", as you said...
I don't care if I missed the point, I didn't even know there had to be a fucking point in this except enjoying good music and let people getting involved in a Nine Inch nails project.
I really don't think Reznor would come and say "guys, I gave you fucking HD and you just did crap with this, ripping audio and converting it to .avi and all!!!! That's not the point!!!"
So please, let us "non-equipped" fans enjoy good NIN music, that's all I ask...
I couldn't agree more. As to what the original post said about "missing the point," I think that's a little rough. Trent put this stuff out so fans could enjoy it. Obviously, everyone prefers better quality material, but those of you with HD capability should be able to understand that those of us with simpler computers want to see the footage too. Also, most users don't have the ability to download these suckers to make their own (smaller) copies, so it's kinda necessary that they ask.
.
again, Im sorry to have offended.
Wow, I thought I was pretty tame compared to most stuff I read on this board.
My point was, they werent just ASKING, they were demanding. If you werent demanding, then I wasnt referring to you (not YOU you, just anyone you).
Get it?
I mean the people saying stuff like THIS:
"You're great Trent, but you're forgetting about a vast majority of your fans here...this footage is really useless to many of us!!!
(sense of entitlement)(need for INSTANT satisfaction)
I think "youre forgetting about a vast majority of fans" is a little ROUGH.
On the contrary, I think Trent had just about each and every fan in his mind with this.
I dont think the "point" (again) was to drop a video of LITS in each and every billionth fans mailbox over the holidays. The POINT was to get the footage out there, and many people (who could) would get it and DO WHATEVER and share it with the fans. There seems to be a "hopeful intension" some good quality video work will be done with the footage to give the show some justice and give people something along the lines of what Trent would have LIKED to have done.
So it wasnt even so much about a crappy quality as much as it was me saying "geeze people, be patient."
