I'm pretty sure many of us have either indirectly or directly benefitted from Jon747's channel on YouTube before. FYI, Jon747 has been uploading Pro League VODs to YouTube for some time now, and he is probably the quickest uploader of Pro League VODs - much faster than Team Liquid's Nevake channel. In addition, some videos that we cannot find here on Team Liquid, because they are not found on Nevake's channel, are often found on Jon747's channel.
Many of us may have indirectly benefitted from Jon747's channel as well when we search for English commentated VODs on youtube - for instance, NukeTheStar has reused some of Jon747's VODs before for his English commentated VODs. And of course, many of us directly use Jon747's channel to watch VODs as well.
Well, it looks like Jon747 may stop posting Pro League VODs, which would be a great loss to the community. As per his comments on his YouTube page:
Jon747 (1 day ago) ### Please Notice ###
I have been hesitating due to Copyright, OSL + MSL, and other stuffs. oskyloveo did quit recording them on TV. So I have to play my money $ 0.5 as per one file if I should download from......
I don't know exactly and Im a little hazy about what to do next....
I don't wanna spend my money in downloading and uploading on youtube! I have spent a great deal of money to upload SC VODs until now........
FYI, his channel is at:

eh this sucks
=( I watch a lot of videos on his channel
somewhat misleading title though

Yeah Jon747 is awesome. Hopefully he continues to upload stuff as I dont really think there is much of a legal issue. I dont know of any situations where they have requested videos be taken down (except GOM because they actually make money off of it).
Koreans get it live and they dont sell it to anyone outside Korea, so there is really no profit lost.

Maybe we'd finally get some all-digital rips without any NTSC artifacts :/

The loss of jon747 is, quite frankly, gonna kill a huge portion of the community...even with the Nevake account.
|
Jon747 -- can you tell us how much you've spent, and how much $$ to compensate? I would be willing to pay for the fees if you will continue to support the community. If not, thanks so much for all the VODs!

hopefully that sc2 beta is right around the corner

I wonder if this means he'll give the account back to TL :O!

Nevake's account hasn't uploaded the latest KT Rolster vs CJ Entus VODs yet - something that Jon747 would have done by now. Jon747 usually uploads the VODs within 24 hours of the match. This is just a huge loss to the community.

If there's no other way to get the VODs, I'd be willing to donate some money for this

I'm surprised Jon747 was using his own money in the first place. It's time consuming enough to upload the VODs everyday after the matches ... I didn't know he had spent his own money in the past to upload the VODs as well.

oh no. this sucks since alot of us cant really watch the games live

Or maybe we'll get no more rips at all.

teamliquid could easily raise couple hundred for Jon747
