    Today, i was trying to watch season 1 again by streaming it on youtube as usual.
    But unlike couple days ago, the episode dont show up, instead bunch of music videos.
    This is serious problem because it seem like youtube is removing all avatar episodes.
    I dont what triggered youtube to take this action. It could be itune complaining about free dl in youtube or the creator of avatar finally take free loaders seriously. Neither way, we will not longer able to enjoy old avatar episode that we missed. The recent one will be there because someone will be constandly uploading it until it get old.

    My question is:
    Where is another good free source for avatar episode dl?
    Where you dl avatar episode beside youtube or itune?
    What caused youtube to remove avatar episode? (if you really know it)

    Thank for those who will help me out. I am sure that thoudsands of other avatar fans are being trouble by this too.

    Youtube was bought out by Microsoft I think so now they're cracking down on all the illegal stuff. And I know there are some people in??livejournal.com who can get you the episodes, but you have to download them and become a member.

    it was actually Google who bought YouTube...somewhere around the price of 3 billion if I remember correctly, not to bad for those 2 guys who created it. They go from no name computer guys who start a website, to guys who run mega popular website, to billionairs

    I live in Canada too but sadly, YTV is only on the episode 'The Libary' not to mention they aren't re-airing the older episodes of Avatar so I can start recording it

    Auri was also suspended =(
    She had every episode of Avatar Uploaded too...

    Honestly: up your game, or give up and stop trying to watch things illegally. Not that I'm condoning piracy, but this isn't the place to discuss it. Figure it out yourself, ask someone you know, or wait until the DVDs come out. Youtube doesn't endorse piracy. I doubt TV.com wants to be associated with it either.

    Lol, for some reason I found referring to piracy as ???Up your game??? pretty funny. Anyway it???s illegal for the episodes to be on youtube, of course they are going to take it out. Not that it affects me, I ???up my game??? a long time ago.

    I'm not gonna even mention how up my game is. But I buy everthing once it's available - provided I'm not eating ramen and fritos that month.

    There have been some really awesome fanvids on youtube that now have been removed. They can't moderate very fast, so once an episode gets put on youtube, you can watch it for a few days.

    I have an idea, just download limewire and download the episodes there.?? It will take a lot longer for all of you who have dial up but otherwise you can download every single episode of Avatar on Limewire.

    You can watch all the episodes online at TurboNick.com.?? It's not my favorite site, but it is legal, and you don't screw the creators.
