Secondly, watching streams of tv shows and movies online is leagal for the viewer, but not the one that streams it. I just cant see the difference in the two acts.. both give you the same result, one is just breaking the law in terms of the definition of copyright (from the end users point of view).
Youtube hosts full shows, Megavideo hosts full movies and shows, zshare etc etc.. all leagal to watch. But if i go and download the same off of a torrentsite, its illegal. Even if i dont upload any files. The law is contradicting itself.
If i buy a movie and bring over 30 of my closest friends to watch it, its legal. But if i stream it online for the same 30 to see, its illegal. Just dosent make sense. |
It's only legal to watch those on youtube because they obviously get permission to put those movies and shows on their site,plus they advertise during those. Filesharing a movie online is like making 30 copies,which is different than buying one movie. Unless you steam that movie online and bring over those 30 freinds.

megavideo, zshare, myp2p, justin.tv, tvshack etc etc etc... all air shows, sports, movies etc, that they dont have permission for. Still its legal for you to watch.
Whats the difference if i buy a District 9, invite 30 friends to watch it. Or if i buy District 9, stream it to 30 of my friends online for them to watch it? One is legal and the other is illegal. Dosent add up.
Whats the difference if i watch a stream of District 9 online or if i download a copy of District 9 but dont upload? One is legal and the other is illegal. Dosent add up.
