Hey all,
I may be pummeling a dead equine here, but i'll give it a shot, I'm a huge B5 fan, have been since the show started, read a bunch of the books, got the DVD's and everything, the one fan thing i don't tend to do that much is go on the forums.
Anyways i was futzing around at work online and playing around wikipedia where i happened to land at Crusade (b5-spinoff, not the real Crusades) and was reading and found out that there were unproduced scripts and some of those had released online.
So what did i do well i did a Google search for Crusade scripts and found this http://jmsnews.com/forums/archive/index.php?t-119.html old thread,
now, i'm wondering where this all stands, are the scripts at this point available? and if not why not?
Going back and reading the thread about copyright etc etc, i have to say this, i've got B5 seasons 1-5, Crusade, The Movies, Ledgend of the Rangers(which i hated) and The Lost Tales.
i've also purchased about 10 books as well, some offical some not (like the excellent Babylon File & #2)
I respect JMS and the other writers rights to get paid for their work, but they could put them on a website and charge 10 bucks or something like that, at this point given the amount of money i've poured into the universe that i love part of me could care less about their wish's. I want to read those scripts time has not diminshed that desire.
I'm not saying i would violate the almight copyright given the chance but i am *really* frustrated by this, if i could pay for the scripts i'd do so without blinking, but they're not in a format i can do that so if i want to abide by the rules then i get screwed. and people who were more in the know or just luckier get to have read that stuff when i haven't.
it's a lose/lose situation for me, and i hate that!
