Viascheslav Zagorodniuk - 1994 World Championships FS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQTWRTlhRBg)

While not "perfect" because of a double-footed 3A, this program is actually rather appealing. It has a good mix of Viktor and Oksana is the construction that makes it look very balanced. I would have rather seen this at the 1994 Olympics than Viktor's "let me prove I really do deserve that medal" program.

I loved Zagorodniuk!

I just went through on my new account (after my account was deleted 2 weeks ago) and put the few videos I have uploaded again on private. Youtube is starting to really suck, and it's too much a P.I.T.A. to upload them all over and over again.

Out of curiosity sake, is there a time limit on copyright? Like, these vids from the 1970s or even earlier, does the copyright still exist on them? (It seems so, but just wondering if someone knows the real answer)

Well I haven't been hit yet. Most of my vids are oldies but I'm just waiting to see what happens. :rolleyes:

Lisa Marie Allen - 1978 Skate Canada Long Program (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbG7dzYFRug)

Her first element is the layback and she does it in the opposite direction for her. I couldn't even tell until I saw her jump because she did it so well. A layback must be the hardest spin to learn in the opposite direction.

Copyright goes on for decades and decades. I think for movies, and presumably TV footage, the official time span was 70 years, and it was recently increased by twenty(due to :skandal by Disney, since Mickey and his friends were supposed go out of copyright back in 2003 and they couldn't have that).
It's worth noting that recent rules have decided you can copy and pass around stuff that is not "mainstream," which probably translates to anything the corporations don't care about, or maybe just anything they're not trying to make :bribe: off of. Though what use they'd have for older videos I'm not sure.

Huh???? What's with the dubbed on music?

This is what she actually skated to with the famous encore of 10 double axels in a row....

What does US Figure Skating have to do with it? I know they can claim copyright on Icenetwork and ESPN and all that, but can they do that for networks outside the US? That wouldn't make sense.
