    i suggest you visit mpaa.org then retype what you just said? and also some stupid ppl think that if they live in the usa and host the site off shore than nothing can happen to them you follow the laws in your country its as simple as that

    What if I don't actually embed the video, but link to the video page on the appropriate video sharing site (56, YouKu, Tudou etc)?

    I am not 100% shure but i think this used to be a link site http://showstash.com


    I have deleted my embeded videos and made a link that takes the users to hulu instead, it only works for a couple of regions in the us , this will hit my trafic very hard

    It seems that ShowStash is closed by MPAA. Is that your site and was it using the system above (linking to hulu instead of embeding)?

    Warning Warning! The phpVideoScript site is down and under investigation. Here is the quote from the site:
    I am very conserned about it, since I have a site that uses this script and from what I read it has a callback function. Does it have one?

    Yeah it's very possible for a callback function to exist, check this thread it's about using pirated scripts and they talk about callback functions also:
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=869633

    I have the old version of the script 3.0 at that time it was free, so this one <b>probably</b> dosen't have a callback feature.

    Also about the fbi thing, alot of people are saying that it might be fake:
    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=875855


    Anyway ... I am out of this business, I'm very young in web-stuff and I am looking for something more stable and legal.

    I also have an old version (v10 or 11 I think (or it was 3.10/3.11) ), but as far as I know there is no callback functions in it. Can anybody confirm this? I can send you the code if anybody wants to check it.
