That you really suck at getting things done. I have to be honest in that I have only recently been exposed to the genius that is firefly, and am immediately passionate about getting it back on the air, but you all have taken the wrong route since day 1. I am not trying to be insulting but this is the 21st century, and people (especially corporations) no longer respond to or acknowledge letters, protests, nor petitions. What owns our country at least at the moment is viral media. If we want the best sci-fi show ever made to return to television we have to conform to these tacticts. I understand this is alot to ask of all of you but in the end the monetary expense will be worth it... if not the jail time. Who amongst us does not own the DVDs of the whole series and the film? That is 5 discs in total.
Here is my proposal... we copy them, give Fox a big kick in the nuts and send them out with a poignant letter.... something along the lines of it you love this series write a letter/email or if you don't pass it on to someone who loves sci-fi. Amazingly I had never been exposed to this series when it was being produced but I love it now, i guarantee we can find many others like me. Viral marketing runs the world now and we can take advantage of antiquated systems like the USPO to market our love for Firefly. DVDs are cheap... postage is cheap... lawyers are expensive but so it proving that we sent out our illegal copies :) Look into AnyDVD CloneDVD and similar software. I'll handle central CA. Who will handle the rest of the country?

What the hell have you been smokin' son? Look sunshine, ripping off a corp is not the best way of doing anything other than going to jail. Ya dont mess with someone elses money... PERIOD. Universal has already threatened to sue someone on this forum over copyright infringement.

And they dont have to find the person who made the viral, just the knuckleheads dumb enough to download it. Great way to spread the word... "Avoid downloading anything to do with Firefly, its been tagged".

As far as the wrong approach, there is so much an organization of people can do against the movie and TV industry (that wont potentially land you in jail). Corporations make money from commercial advertisements, not from shows. Companies pay big $$$ for prime time spots, little $ for non-popular periods. You want to take money from a Fox/Universal? Form a huge organization and publically ban all products shown on those stations. As far fetched as that sounds, that is probably the most you could do to hurt them without getting arrested.

BTW, next time you publically suggest a group of people participate in an illegal activity, be over the age of 18 so that you can partake in the fruits of your ideas.

Dude your so wrong, but seriously yes in this day and age they don't notice letters,ect so much but proved time and again even now it still happens.

Just look at Farscape:Peacekeeper Wars & more recently Bablyon 5 on straight to DVD & its been ages since Babylon 5 finished so we should never give up cause you never know when they'll turn around and say hey lets make a Serenity sequel or a 2nd season Firefly season.

If we give up then there is no chance in hell of a Serenity sequel or another Firefly season so we need to keep doing all these pertions,letters,ect till Joss Wheldon dies & the rest of the cast dies & Universal go bankrupt.

And lets see if we gave up on Serenity & Firefly when Serenity didn't do very well at the BOX OFFICE then we wouldn't have another Serenity comic, Firefly MMORPG, or the countless replica's and all the other merchandise coming out after Serenity came out.

First of all, welcome to the board hun, secondly I love your enthusiasm but you are incorrect.

It was because of the Firefly DVd's amazing sales that we even got Serenity. How many people on this very board can say they bought Firefly blindly after seeing its incredible sales and positive feedback on Amazon.com or saw it in a store and saw someone stocking up on Firefly for Christmas?

Viral marketing is good and has its place, even within our browncoat fandom, look at the River Tam Sessions. But a massive drop in sales due to high amounts of Pirated copies of our show would only hurt us.

Again I appreciate your passion and thoughts on how to bring this show back, but it would not work, in the end it would backfire and hurt us greatly.

One of the best ways to bring more people to the 'verse is to stage viewing parties, give legally purchased copies as gifts to friends and family.

Again welcome to the board, and its great to see such enthusiasm but I think you need to direct your energies in a different and more legal route.

Browncoats are the shiniest folks in the 'verse

Ok, now that we've recognized your inability to spell...

Coming onto a board and for your first post broaching something that is

a) illegal
b) immoral
c) downright stupid

really isn't the way to go through life, hon.

Artcat, you're always so nice...

You are more than welcome to post your thoughts and feelings on Firefly. We welcome the chance to interact with you.

You may not have been around, but it was the Browncoats and our devotion to the show that helped get Serenity made. We keep it alive through boards like this one. Boards filled with interaction, discussion, and perseverance.

If you have something more constructive to bring, by all means. Post it under guerilla marketing. We'd love to hear from you.

At risk of feeding a brand-new troll, I will add this:
