Hello DPers I was searching for a while for a hosting that allow posting videos with TV episodes, but not much luck. I want a hosting where I can add videos(hosted on other video sharing website) and that's legal. I read that posting for example episodes of Dexter is some kind of warez linking or so. Is it allowed in US based web hosts? I read about off shore hosting but they are way too expensive. Thanks.
Depends on the provider, most US providers will likely not allow this. Some providers will allow it, but if they receive DMCA requests, will ask you to remove the offending content. Outside of the US may be more lenient than other places because of the patriot act, but this isn't the end-all/be-all, doesn't matter where you're hosting you may run into issues of this sort. The only way to really find out is to contact the provider and ask them how they handle DMCA take down notices, and if they allow this sort of content.
