    Hmm look at this from www watchlost com

    They are offering copyrighted content, which I do believe is illegal but are running adsense ads....Is this allowed, even though they are links to the downloads?

    has no one ever seen this?

    Are you planning to report them?

    Google is currently being sued in Europe for their "news" site that does nothing but scrape content off of other news sites. In fact all a search engine is is one big scraping machine. Then they get all hypocritical when they make their rules for other people about such practices. Why? To protect their market share, not copyright holders.

    I'm not saying you are, but if you are being a vigilante you may want to consider that behind that site is some guy like yourself that may be working really hard to earn a living. In fact, he may work very hard compiling that stuff into his own "Search Engine".

    Okay, after further review, I'm pretty sure they aren't working all that hard. LOL...

    I would suppose that if you took the time to write reviews for each of the episodes your site would be fine. If you offered downloads of the episodes... well, I'm not sure about that.
