These sites aren’t hiding out and trying to evade the law – they’re funded by well known venture capitalists and, in Veoh’s case, copyright holders. Its not clear if the MPAA and networks just aren’t focusing on these smaller video sharing sites yet, or if DMCA notices are simply being ignored. You can stream live shows on the Roku channel, as well as watch an ever. VideoHybrid even gives statistics showing exactly how many times copyrights have been violated. If you have a Roku, you have access to The Roku Channel, which gets you free movie and TV content. And new site VideoHybrid is in a class of its own, with dozens of full length movies and virtually every popular TV show. Watch any episode from any of the 11 seasons of SouthPark on. Watch, for example, The Office on DailyMotion, Scrubs on GoFish, or SouthPark on Veoh ( update: GoFish and Veoh have apparently removed the shows I linked to).Īnd if searching for the shows on these sites is just too much work, there are other sites that aggregate and organize this content, and embed it on their own sites. The smaller guys are now stepping in to fill the void.įull length copies of well known TV shows and/or movies are readily available on a number of YouTube competitors. But limits on video length, DMCA takedown notices and billion dollar lawsuits have damaged YouTube’s ability to facilitate serious copyright infringement. YouTube is clearly the most popular video sharing site on the web.
