Hello Digital Point I'm looking to start a website where people watch shows like Family Guy, American Dad, South Park, and more. But the last time I did this I got a e-mail from Fox saying that they would sue me if I didn't remove all the embeded videos from my site. I see a lot of sites that get away with this. This one site is even hosted in Canada. www.watch-american-dad-online.com How does this guy get away with this, he even has a large database of other shows. http://www.watch-american-dad-online.com/Watch-TV-Shows-Online.html Please help. Thank You edit: Sorry if i posted in the wrong forum. Don't really know where to post it.
I wouldn't suggest it. If you haven't noticed lately, the government is seizing those domain names. There's also the previously mentioned lawsuits to deal with. Just because a site gets away with it for now, doesn't mean they won't be shut down in the future.
Forget about what others are doing illegally. They are taking a risk of being sued or even criminal prosecution. Not everyone gets caught. If you don't want to take the risk, find something original that doesn't involve the theft of property.
Okay thanks everyone. I wont make a site like that anymore. And wow i get infraction for posting in the wrong forum. That's sad.
