I always loved the the early seasons were mostly consisting of 'You're in a room' and as the show became more sophisticated with it's backdrops it became almost entirely "You're in a courtyard" or 'You're in some ruins".
Old castles single handedly kept Knightmare in business.
Hello there everyone,
First time poster and happy to be among fellow Knightmare fans.
I do noticed the removal of all the decent mare vids from Youtube. This is exactly the sort of thing that pushes people into the domain of so called illegal download sites.
I have no issue with companies wanting to keep ownership of their copyrights. However, they don't seem to grasp that acting in this way is counter productive and alienates the very audience they are seeking to capture. There is obviously a demand for people wanting to watch Knightmare and I would wager a rather keen hardcore fanbase at that. Why do they not make available every episode on a dedicated Youtube channel (advert laden obviously) and make a bit of money whilst they are at it. Better yet, offer them perhaps for a small nominal fee, which I'm sure most of us wouldn't mind paying if the price was right. Sadly it seems they are content to push us into watching the show on a channel full of adverts every 10 minutes where only a fraction of the episodes will be available.
This reminds me alot of a similar thing a few years back where a friend of mine got so sick and tired of trying to find old Hey Arnold episodes, he tracked down every last one and placed them in a place for people to watch only to have Nickelodeon demand he take them down for copyright reasons citing lost revenue. Well suffice to say, I never saw a single episode of Hey Arnold made available on TV or DVD for a number of years after.
When will these companies realise that people want to see this stuff, there is money to be made and people will pay for it if the price is fair.
Sadly the outdated business model will continue in much the same way.
