Re: INTERNET TV SITE
 
Great link and many thanks.
Just a word of caution for some.
I know some people are totally law abiding and wouldn’t ever wish to be otherwise so is the site totally legal?
Can it be legal if it’s showing Lost Series 3 and stuff like that?
TV companies pay millions for the rights to Lost and it’s only just screened in the US
I’d just like everyone to be making as informed a choice as possible without throwing a wet blanket on it all.
But hey, Tesco are advertising on the site and we all know they wouldn’t ever do anything illegal now would they?

Cue Whistleblowers.

I’d be more than happy for someone to tell me it’s all totally legal. Step forward to the plate the Expats legal experts.

I have never had to register on anything I have watched no probs at all but if you go to the bottom of the page and click the Forum linkl there is something in there that mentions having trouble registering so take a look ,it may help but it does say they dont accept Yahoo or Hotmail addresses.

all the subtitles on the stargates he tried to watch are in chinese (or soemthing like that) and all stopped after 21 mins!!

never mind....we'll try something else later

thanks for the link!

Yes it is totally legal as they only provide links to tv programmes it says so on the site so you have nothing to worry about.

FAQ`s quote.....

"Is this site legal? Don't make me call my lawyer.
We provide links, nothing is wrong with that."

It`s you breaking the law by downloading them.

Unless anyone knows a backdoor, you can't actually download them anyway, can you? It's just available to watch.

There are programs out there that can record streamed video.
Don't ask me what they are, i would never do anything so illegal.
No seriously, sorry dont know the programs but I expect you can google it if you really wanted.
