The Situation
Our Frapa clips are no longer allowed on either YT or DM. Furthermore, the same copyright holder just today blocked all of our Nadja & Jule clips on YT too. (Both GZSZ and Hinter Gittern were aired by the same broadcaster.) They have clearly decided they want to control their content.
Therefore....
Our Current Plan
Today we are uploading our last two Frapa clips (118 and 119). That way we will have completed the entire storyline. However, we are only leaving them up for 24 hours, so watch them while you can!
An urgent plea to our viewers
Past experience has shown us that when something like this happens,
some
people feel compelled to try and 'help' us by uploading our clips to
other websites.
Trust us -- this does NOT help! Please do not do it!
All it does is further jeopardize the situation.
It endangers possible
future options for us, and makes it even
LESS likely that we will ever
be able to re-upload Frapa anywhere.
Our Long Term Plan
We do hope to someday be able to re-post the entire Frapa storyline to our blog, however, it will not be anytime soon. We're very sorry about that and we realize it really sucks for anybody who had only recently found the story, or who didn't get to finish watching it, but that's just the reality of the situation. Now that the clips have been banned from these sites, it will be a long time before they become 'unbanned'.
There's Good News??
Yes! In the meantime, we do have other things for you to watch. If you've never checked them out before, please visit the Watch Our Other Stories tab and also the Navigating Lezsoapia link. Moreover, we will continue to translate new stories for you. We have many other plans on our docket. We will be announcing some of them soon, so be sure to keep an eye on our blogs.
And thank you for bearing with us through all of this. You've been great viewers and fans!
Hey thank you a lot for your hard work!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if this helps or if you want to continue anyways but I know from another RTL storyline (Joscha from Alles was zählt) where someone posts the clips on vimeo with a password. So far they are still up. Just a tip and I completely understand if you don't have time and energy for this!
Again thank you a lot for everything :)
is there an option for closed captions on vimeo? without it there's not much sense in uploading there imo...
DeleteIt's terrible what's going on. Good luck and thank you for sharing as reached.
ReplyDeleteI am very sorry for everything that happened to you in the past. One suggestion I have for you is what the uploaders for Jasani's storyline (Jasmin + Anni, GZSZ) are doing. They've created a Google drive account for their clips. Viewers must e-mail them requesting the password to view the clips. The only thing I would change about how they operate is to share the videos rather than the entire drive account. Too much can happen when you do that. Any ways, that's just one thing you may want to try.
ReplyDeleteOur policy is to not get involved with video filesharing. On YT and DM, the copyright holders are free to block or delete our clips if they don't want the content shared online. Thanks for trying to help though! :-)
Deletewill you maybe think of uploading the story on that site where you posted the Jasly story?
DeleteWould that be a possibilty for the Hinter Gittern clips as well?
