There are some downloading sites if anyone wants to use them 1, 2, 3
What I've gathered on Twitter is that ISU sold broadcasting rights for senior competitions for broadcasting in South Korea to a Korean TV broadcaster SBS. And SBS wants to prevent everyone else from broadcasting or making broadcasts accessible in Korea (well, they have the right to do it, if theoratically say NBC wanted to broadcast figure skating comps in Korea it would be banned). And SBS applies the same logic on videos on Youtube. Because also users in South Korea can see them... But instead of geoblocking the videos for South Korea (as for example FUJITV did in Japan) they file a copyright claim against owners of the Youtube channels who uploaded the videos. And here I don't know exactly how it works because I don't have a YT channel but if the are many (or a certain number of) copyright claims filed against your channel, YT takes it down completely.
Which brings another problem... I thought that only skating videos with actual skating performances were in danger... but if the interviews, press cons, off-ice moments, fluffy pieces before Olympics, victory ceremonies or whatever are on a channel with many skating performances thus many copyright claims filed by SBS / potentially to be filed, even they disappeared (will disappear) as well because the whole channel got taken down (will probably be taken down)...
There's a list of all Javi's performances on Youtube - visible to public - and the owner of the list does their best in replacing deleted videos with less known videos of the same event ...
Plus nearly all competitions can be viewed in full here
(it works like an archive, live broadcast is available only for countries that didn't purchase the broadcasting rights. And sigh, bying broadcasting rights doesn't actually mean broadcasting, looking at you Eurosport. Buying entire packages of comps for big geographical areas and then actually broadcasting only in some countries...).

And maybe the ones who post video clips from competitions, etc. could name them in the way that nobody understands what they are from and post the list with content on some secret forum/mailing list on which only known figure skating fans have access?

I intensely dislike Asian TV companies… But that is the internet, nothing is really truly permanent. I have always downloaded everything that I have been able to download, and have even gone back to old links after better tools for downloading have emerged.
It was ever so cool to see Kurt Browning added to the Madrid cast – based on the TSL interview he has not been skating much at all lately, but I for one am looking forward to seeing him there! One of my big favourites of all time! News about the cast in the last shows in Marca.
A sweet little message for CrisCancer from Friday a week ago.
Sunday night ended in Logrono with Prometo at the Spanish national gala followed by the finale.
Otherwise, this was the ROI Murcia week – a feverish PR attack to get those tickets sold (they made pretty good, ca 500 were left in the end). But Javi started on Monday in Madrid with a second opening for the Azca ice rink with the alcaldesa of Madrid, Manuela Carmena. He did not skate this time, though, the Revolutionettes did that job. By CrisCancer on Twitter,
Gacet in Madrid, Ayuntamiento with a soundbite at the end and sweet pics Celia Robledo IG. Video from Revolution On Ice. A LaLiga4Sports themed video made at the rink during the first opening on Friday.
On Tuesday some TV work, RTVE’s Informativo de Madrid, starts after 20 min mark.
On Wednesday off to Murcia where he visited the Cope Murcia outdoors stand for a few minutes, pics and clips here and here. The audio starts after 22 min.
Then he was off to the La 7 studios for another interview. (This one was pretty well prepped for although not much new came along.)
And in the evening, he signed at the local Orange shop.
On Thursday, continuing with Murcia PR he visited UCAM university – he has been one of the many sponsored athletes. Also, got to test his gaming skills against a guy who plays videogame football professionally. (My old brain just explodes with what gets regarded as sports these days.) Popular TV Murcia on Twitter and on YT.
He said that he would love to study business related to organizing the kind of events he participates in. As a great believer in formal education, I recommend Javi to get back to school! In La Verdad.
They also did a PR event at the rink with one of the sponsors of the tour with access to the second to last rehearsals. The story in La Verdad includes also a nice clip. ROI Twitter.
And at some point did a radio interview for Zona Mixta (scroll down the list).
Two interviews made earlier came out also this week: Woman.es and GraZie Magazine (starts at page 90).
The interviews were pretty general, but in the GraZie one there was actually an interesting tidbid about the future – he talks about all kinds of projects, but the lids on them have not been lifted much. They are working towards getting together a Flamenco On Ice show for the Asian market which sounds pretty cool (and frustrating, because it will be impossible to get to see it live…).
And yesterday the show at Murcia, of course. The first one with the new cast and an added artist, Blas Canto (who is btw from Murcia). Javi’s performances remained the same, although instead of Anna and Luca they had Yuna do the first part of the Chaplin sequence. But it all looked pretty good and people seem to have loved it as much as before.
Torero, Chaplin, Prometo and Finale.
Backstage with Yuna by David Wilson.
The only thing that made me a little worried was that in November Javi was doing effortless triples and last night he was doing mostly doubles. I hope it was just a not-a-very-good day after a week of non-stop PR.
I do hope he can have a day or two downtime, although there will be an appearence in Spanish version of Master Chef Junior tomorrow night (Dec 23): This is of course prerecorded. And tomorrow also on RTVE Radio, No es un diá cualquiera, between 11 and 12 o’clock Spanish time. Hope he just phones in - nope, he was there. The interview can be listened to here (scroll down the list to find his name). Long one, the journalist had apparently read Bailando en hielo, but perhaps not many things that have not already been said many times.
They will have to head out to Las Palmas soon enough for the Dec 26th show, so Christmas celebrations might be a bit limited for the cast and crew this year.
And in the spirit of the season, possibly the skinniest Papa Noel ever from two years ago.

Let's hope Brian is correct in assuming that if anyone can pull off successful Europeans with 2,5 weeks training, that is Javi... 
Anything can happen, I guess - he can be crushed by the weight of the pressures of the last competition, he can try too hard and fail doing that or he can do what he did in the Olympics, handle the pressure, handle the mistake (!) and deliver. I hope for the last but am trying to prepare for all the scenarios.
And in Spain, the show goes on... He did get a little time off after Murcia spending it hopefully with family and friends (and a bit of quality time with his favourite girl). The radio interview was made on Sunday 23rd (link in the post above), but otherwise seemingly ittle work-related stuff going on. The Spaniards of the cast went home for the holidays, the others headed out to the Canaru Islands for a bit of sun, sea and sand. The rest followed yesterday morning with practices in the evening accompanied by the local media.
Yesteday, Javi was featured as Christmas Day entertainment in at least two countries. In Italy, Opera on Ice was shown on TV (finally). I watched it and must say that the director had no idea what to do with the skating - there were far too many cuts, long distance shots, too much singers and orchestra. I almost prefer the fancams from September... But here is Il Barbiere di Siviglia and Largo al Factotum. He did also Votre Toast from Carmen (ie Toreador's Song), but that I have not seen yet online.
In Spain, Antena 3 Deportes broadcast his visit to the Hospital Universitario La Paz (Madrid) and its children's oncology unit. This was done weeks ago IIRC (I think I saw some photos), but better late than never.
Late in the evening, he appeared in MasterChef Junior Espana, did a bit of skating in front of the kids and gave the first cooking assignment. 2,5 minutes and they put up one of those artificial skating surfaces for that 30 s or so of skating... The clip is up on the official website and don't think it is geoblocked. (A little choppy version on Twitter.) Those kids!
An interview was also published by AS. (Which got quotes by IFS Mag.)
And today, of course, show in Las Palmas. Hope all is fine!
Plus, go and vote Javi in the Eurosport.es vote for the best Spanish male athlete of all time. He is now nr 7 among a very distinguished crowd, but could always do better. Already that he is on the shortlist is pretty amazing... https://www.eurosport.es/polideportivo/mejores-deportistas-espanoles-historia_sto7055512/story.shtml

Have voted!
He's now in 6th place, but only 3 votes ahead of 7th. One of them was mine!

That is wonderful to hear
(ps - I just checked that eurosports poll, Javi is now number 3!!!)
I just come back to my hotel from Vistalegre and I'm still feeling thrilled. The audience was so supportive with the skaters, singers and acrobats! My hands hurt from clapping so much. The big surprise was the appearance of Pablo Alborán, who sang Prometo for Javi to skate. The show will be broadcasted next Tuesday in the Spanish channel Gol Tv.
About Javi's performance, I must say that he looks in good shape, his jumps seemingly effortless and he didn't pop any of them.
