Actually, these sites are more akin to Google in legality. Do you think Google is hosting every site on the internet? It’s just links, and these sites are just specialized to find videos.

Saying this [providing links] is illegal is as ridiculous as saying, ‘it’s illegal to tell someone how to rob a bank’ it’s not!

I don’t think they will be online soon, as I can hear MPAA will pay much more attention on streaming sites in 2008. I like the idea of one of the first embeded movies sites – freemoviescinema.com They put fan films or free movies that producers put online. It can be fun to see some ideas and see what amateurs and small productions are doing. Comments are sometimes full of anger for not having blockbuster titles, but it all has its charm regarding sitest tagline – Celebrating Movie Diversity.

Well my members do hard work when collecting the links. It shouldn’t be suprising that I’m not happy about people running scripts to automaticly add all joox videos to their sites and later spam about it in joox.net’s video comments and on the forums. I’m glad this article didn’t include any of those sites.

Nice review and comparison. Alluc has gone downhill lately and I hadn’t even heard of surfthechannel before now , I cant believe it remained under my radar with it climb in alexa rankings.

Anyway, there is a case against the legality of these sites, but only because the corporations have molded the law to suit what they view as “unrightful use” of their content. When will they learn that these sites make their content more globally recognized. Money is not made from static shows, but the advertising that pad them. FOX etc could easily use sites like these to pedal their stuff to wider audiences, with ads included.

Hi Tom, let me put this way, MUO reviews everything what is popular. When it comes to above websites in particular, they are not illegal, but the places they link to.

All of these websites are extremely popular and operate either in Europe or United States so there is no way they would stay online if authorities considered their activities illegal.

Actually these sites are legal in the countries they are based in. Morally they may be wrong but legally they are fine….until the all powerful MPAA has the laws changed in the relevant countries.

Also the copyrighted material you speak of is hosted on sites such as YouTube so you better boycott them before you add to the problem.

You could also argue that UK users of these sites who view shows originating from the UK have every right to wacth them as they have paid their license fee already and paid for all of the programmes.

It isnt such a clear black and white line as you think it is.
