This is perhaps an awkward question, but is there any plan to replace the file-sharing links with high-quality rips from Disney+ On the one hand, I wouldn't want any distraction from an influence on Disney to release the series on DVD. On the other hand, Disney tends to be crappy at releasing DVDs of old shows even without the whole "barely acknowledging Zoog Disney days" thing, and with Disney+, it seems plausible that they would phase shows in and out of availability (i.e. putting them in the Disney Vault). It's possible that one day, So Weird would stop being available and would never be offered again (like the once-in-a-lifetime glitch allowing a girl's brain to communicate with the Internet), so there would be cause to take advantage of the availability while it exists. For the sake of media preservation, if nothing else, I think there should be some priority placed on fast ripping... if, indeed, that is accepted as a worthwhile course of action...

Hello!
There is no doubt in my mind that people will be ripping these episodes on the internet somewhere, probably immediately after the service launches, so you have no fear of the high quality version of these episodes being lost forever (someone will be making DVDs, I'm sure!).
However, I am of the opinion that once the show becomes available to watch legally (yay!!!), we should not encourage people to download or watch the episodes illegally on this forum or as a fandom. This is not merely the goody two shoes coming out in me. I know a lot of people have expressed interest in having the show getting an official DVD release, an official CD release, or a reboot/revival, and at this time the best way we can promote this is by giving the show views on the Disney+ streaming service.
Will Disney remove the show from Disney+ I will never say never on that, but Disney+ has been described as a way of ending the Disney Vault system and there was a quote from Bob Iger somewhere that they will not be removing content once added (can't find it this morning but will look for it later).

We don't know if it'll be available in all countries tho. It might be nice to get some download links out there.

Yes I'm sure there will be people out there ripping, hopefully for So Weird as well. Like you said it might get pulled, D+ might go away, it might not be available in some countries and so on.

I don't think the show will be all that difficult to find elsewhere. And if someone comes on here asking for links because the show isn't on D+ in their country, obviously people will share. But I don't think we should advertise that we have the links anymore, and I don't think we should keep the links posted freely. We need to encourage everyone to watch on D+. This show needs views. If the show ever did go off of D+, it would probably be due to lack of views or parental complaints about the show's content, so views are really important in order for the show stay on D+ and reach the widest audience possible.
And I know nothing about residuals but if Chris Gibson really did get residuals from Disney because So Weird was coming to D+, we need to encourage everyone to watch on D+ to support the people involved with this show, too.

I agree. That was just my way of saying: pls someone rip it to me.

The good news is D+ will allow unlimited downloads, so there may not be a need to rip the episodes, especially since they will allegedly allow users to keep their downloaded content even if the content leaves the service. Link to that info here

Doesn't change anything if the show isn't available in other countries.

I'm very sure someone will rip the show soon after the launch and it'll most likely be put on the internet just like how we have it now

I'm going to try to rip the series-- it'll take all stinkin' week (since it probably comes with encryption, so I'll have to screen-record), but just in-case no one in the Disney+ ripping community gets to So Weird in time (I mean, if their first choice to rip was The Mandalorian, a show that definitely isn't going anywhere, I'm kind of concerned about the likelihood of them even caring enough, HAHAHA), I'm going to give it a go. : )

I want to finish the Fan Edition soundtrack as soon as I can.

And if I can be picky, can you do Rebecca first? I really want that one without any noises haha

Hahaha. HAHAHAHAAAA. Yes, I'd love to rip Rebecca first... IF IT WOULD EVEN PLAY FOR ME!So far, everyone episode besides Episode 1 just does this for me. ... Just... just great. Hopefully, I'll wake up tomorrow, and it'll all be fix'd. EDIT: This appears to be a Google Chrome-related issue. I can finally watch things other than S01E01. Firefox is better for this, for anyone who cares. This sort of error still happens all the stinkin' time, but at least I can watch things. ALRIGHTY, here's Rebecca, sounding much clearer! ^_^ skyetheguy.com/DoubleOOP/Rebecca%20(WEB-Rip).mp3As well as the Singularity credits, which is one of my favourite pieces of music in the show: skyetheguy.com/DoubleOOP/Singularity%20S01E11%20Credits%20(WEB-Rip).mp3EDIT TWO: So, here's a quick test of me ripping a clip from Fountain from Disney+ -- if anyone cares to know, the size of their videos seems to be 656 x 480, which is... well, it's a real shame they're not giving us anything beyond that, but this is plenty-good still.

That's also something I might do later, gather all score music from the credits, edit them a little bit if I can make them longer and post.
