After thousands of Top Gear video clips being carefully selected, cut, edit and uploaded to the internet, be it YouTube, Metacafe or LiveLeak, Top Gear videos are a must have for YouTubers and car lovers alike, and the patience, of those who 'contribute' are appreciated in millions, however Top Gear had a problem with those, as they claim these are illegal, pirated use and distribution of the BBC production and are deemed illegal.
But there's a saying, if you can't beat them, join em, and this is exactly what BBC had done, they've decided to come up with their own YouTube channel and upload 'legal' videos in YouTube, perhaps hiring an entire team dedicated to doing so when actually there're already many out there who does it for free.
Hit the jump to watch the welcome video from Top Gear.
Pirated, illegal Top Gear Videos by Top Gear themselves!
Here's the deal guys, we started off as an automotive industry magazine that talks about anything remotely associated with cars. The subprime crisis, the oil spill off the Gulf of Mexico, the Great Tohoku Earthquake are all world issues affecting the automotive industry.
Not only the face of what's happening on a global scale, we delve deep into the auto-journalism ethics, criticizing the increasingly mundane automotive advertising industry, we explained how America's dwindling confidence and rising sense of inferiority complex gave rise and ultimately fueled the media in propagating hatred towards Toyota.
In short, we're serious towards the automotive industry, our scope and depth is what makes us who we are, and we believe there are a lot more aspects towards which we can continue explore with the magazine when it comes to all things automotive. From the wider perspectives covering technological, sociological or even geopolitical, to inner workings of the trends and traits of design and advertising of cars, towards the human aspects that shapes the very cars we drive day in and out.
And this, is the reason why we decide to give the magazine a bump, a revamp into Wheels Weekly: Live Life Drive. Before that comes though, we will be launching an inaugural celebration issue where we chronicle the best of Wheels Weekly. We can't wait, we hope you too.
