New Forum/Board Idea

I was thinking randomly and wondered if it's possible to have a new board where people can actually upload their video files onto the site for other people to download- is that actually possible? coz if it is then that would be amazing coz it seems to me that loads of people have rare videos on their computers which they can't send to other people because the file is too big. Not sure how or if it would work but it's just a thought.

I like that idea...at another forum I frequent, the trade board is also the file sharing board...so maybe we can add that option there. As well I was thinking maybe we can have a selling option too since some people here want to sell some of thier goo stuff. I guess it could be called the Trading, Selling, Sharing board lol

Our Goo,
who art in Buffalo,hallowed be thy 'name,'
Thy concerts gone to,thy cds bought,in Europe as they are in America,
Give us this day our daily goo and forgive us for liking other bands,
just as we forgive those who do not appriciate good goo, lead us not into temptation,with your hair and toxic songs,
Ah, men!!!

There are photo gallery tools that some boards use that will also allow users to register and upload their own files. They are configurable so that the board op can determine for themselves what file types to allow. Coppermine and Gallery are two such packages, and they are freeware.
The real problem is legality of that. The artists "legally" own the rights to their shows. You have seen those messages on movies that say "any distribution blah blah blah is strictly prohibited without the express written consent blah blah blah". Sharing videos you recorded off TV or at shows falls into the same category. And the owner of the message board becomes the person who takes the fall because they are supplying the means to share these files.
There are boards where videos are posted in their galleries. It think most of the ones I have seen say that they have received permission from the artist to post them.

That would be totally awesome! 
I was wondering about something similar myself...recently a lot of people have been asking for certain files...things like Jenny, White Trash Wagon, Silent Night...where possible I've been offering to send people stuff they don't have (the only reason *I* have most of these files is because people were nice enough to send them to ME in the first place, so I like to pass on the Goo) but I was wondering about having some FORMAL way of doing that, you know...where we could all maybe post lists of what we have and then anyone missing out could be sent the stuff they're missing. I don't know what the legality of all this is...most (*ahem*) of the Goo stuff I have on my comp was aquired in a very legal manner, ie they're MP3 and MPeg files I ripped from the CDs and DVDs myself, CDs and DVDs which I LEGALLY PURCHASED and so surely sharing them with you guys couldn't cause a problem...? I mean isn't it just like lending someone a CD so they can tape it for themselves? And THAT has been going on for years, and no-one ever seemed to have a problem with it... 
Um, about the orginal post topic...I know there are sites like yousendit.com and youshareit.com which will let you upload huge files for others to download...I guess having an official part of the board dedicated to this would depend on legal issues, though...  like Walter said.

that's not really legal either. i mean, no one goes to jail for it, but it's still a copyright violation.

Their media isn't downloadable though...is it? Or at least not ALL of it is...
Anyway I think this thread refers to the more rare Goo media that isn't readily available online...
ETA OMG Ragdollsworld is offering Goo DVDs...one of them has the Storytellers episode on it...I am SORELY tempted to get it...anyone know how much they charge? I'm guessing shipping charges will apply too...but GOO STORYTELLERS! I've never seen the whole thing. Ahhh! They have Behind the Music too! I want...I neeeeeed...

Grr... you should have told me you had never see BTM and Storytellers when I sent you stuff. I would have sent them!
And while I think it would be nice for everyone to share files, etc, there are probably a lot of legalities that would prevent that, plus it would require a lot of space for everyone to upload. Plus, even the trading section isn't being too successful...
