Important information regarding the never-ending amount of requests I receive to upload animated films and series in their entirety:

I will not do it. That is a violation of copyright laws and YouTube will likely abide by them in any way. I'm a supporter of such copyright laws and I'm therefore against violating them.

It is not a matter of taking credit away from these animation studios, that is the lesser evil of the copyright infringement. The serious evil is that by sharing these films, viewers are not paying to have access for them (as opposed to when purchasing VHS or DVD copies of the films) and thus, the studios are not making a profit for their work. Studios need to make money in order to keep these films 'alive' on the market; otherwise, they'll go bankrupt and we can eventually kiss all of these movies goodbye. The studio behind the works of Golden Films and Jetlag Productions' films for example, Goodtimes Entertainment, is now extinct, and the assets to these films' masters have unfortunately fallen into the hands of Gaiam, a company that could not care less regarding the proper distribution of these films.

I don't want to see this happen again, which is why I fully support YouTube when they remove videos after a copyright claim. If you can't afford to purchase a DVD copy of a film, you're NOT entitled to have it. Being poor doesn't give you the right to walk into a store and steal them blind, does it? The same thing applies for films.

I've uploaded portions of several films for your enjoyment, but you're wasting your time asking me to upload more; if you like the films and want to see more, they're all available in stores online. If you choose to steal instead, don't make me your partner in crime.
