    Streaming movies/tv shows is illigal. unless you get the permission of the company that produces that movie/show. If people add streaming link to your website, it is still is illigal buy they wont shut your site.

    Is it worth it? hmm here are 2 sides of the situation:

    1. You create a website, add streaming tv shows, add google ads(private sites dont pay for advertisement on illigal websites), and make money.

    2. Create a website, advertise, and get shut down within 1-2 months, and mailing you papers for court and if the judge really likes you he will give you a fine of $50,000 for violating copyright infrigment, otherwise you go to jail for 3-5 years.

    My opinion: Dont do it, I did it but closed within a week. Not worth risking making either $20 a month from google or going to jail and loosing 5 years of your life.

    It doesn;t matter how you do it, the videos do not have to be hosted on your site, by linking to them you are providing access to the illegal material, sites have been sued and lost for doing just that.

    They easily delete the data if contacted by copyright holders but it is only one link at a time. Also since it is user based they cannot be sued. If you do a bit of research user generated content sites cannot be sued since its individual opinion or in this case providing links is no way done by the company. User generated content sites mainly provide publicity to copyright works and every compay enjoys it if they didn't facebook, myspace etc.. would be history!!!!

    i don't think they are legal , they didn't get attention to the authorities cause they use a lot of ways to cloak their ilegal activities ,and these tv episodes are their biggest traffic source , without these link the site is totally a shit , once their site gets big enough , some anti-piracy authorites will get attention and take action to it .

    The purpose of google is not to provide links to illegal content. The purpose of movie/tv sites is. Do you see the difference now? :)

    Google can only be sued if a company files a DMCA with them and they do not remove the link.

    They will but it is a tricky process and cost money that is why there is so many illegal links on google.

    I doubt you are going to get sued so easily especially if you are overseas... every country has its own laws... they will just tell you to shut your site down

    Agreed. I would think that they will just give you a cease and desist letter before they sue you. There are much bigger sites that they can go after!
