    It would be better that there weren't hosted in the USA

    i just read that a popular site quicksilverscreen (which was worth like $150,000) had to give the site away for free (like sell it fro free) because FOX told them to. They were streaming movies/shows, and FOX didnt like it.


    Not sure if this is accurate, but if you google it you may find some articles about the story.

    I wouldn't do it for copyrighted stuff.

    The answer to your question is no, you can't host such a site at GoDaddy (even if you do not host the actual files, just links). They won't prevent you from doing it, but as soon as they get a complaint they will take the site down. Yes, it is illegal to host, embed, or link directly to unauthorized copies of tv shows that still have copyright protection. (There are some older shows that are now in the public domain, but not very many.)
