Someone told me about Shush.se (free TV and movies). I assumed that it was legal (since it was ad-supported with a zillion pop-ups) but I guess I'm kinda dumb to these things.

Am I watching legally? Seems like a lot of high-dollar media that is free for blocking a couple pop-ups.

Website is Swedish is origin. While it may be legal there, its probably not here. Same with Canadians and streaming content, like a certain erm...waterway of scurvy dogs. Reality of the situation is youre not likely to get pinched for anything.

If you live in the US and get something for free, it's either illegal or a VD.

Unless its Vegas, then you usually paid dearly for the VD.

The googles is a little unclear about the legality. Some say it is legal in Sweden but not here, then others say its legal because of this loophole, then others say who cares.

Realistically, as long as you don't give them a cc, they can't really do much to you.other than tell you to knock that E36 M3 off. Or block it. They're never after the downloader anyhow, more so the distribution. Hence the megashare debacle.

Hahaha no....no you sure aren't. Sounds like a typical skeezy pop-up-infested pirate streaming site.

I'll add it to the "FU Comcast" list.

I hear Niter is decent as well. So I've heard.

Of course Google will deliver almost anything you want if you know how to search for it.

Step 1: install Ghostery

Step 2: install Adblock Plus

Step 3: install a pop-up blocker

Step 4: install Hola

Step 5: set VPN to another country

Step 6: go to primewire.ag

Step 7: Enjoy

Note: as a disclaimer, I do not condone using these sorts of streaming services. However, as it will be practically impossible to catch you, and if you follow these steps your computer won't get infected, I shall leave it up to your discretion

^That's a lot of steps to avoid using neat, tidy, easy torrents

Yes, but even if you delete the torrents and history, remnants are still there so they can nick you. With these steps, not only are you making your entire browsing experience safer, but it makes you very hard to trace.

As an actor, I am sensitive to the legal/moral aspects of it, but in reality its no different than if I had these episodes on my DVR and I skipped the commercials.

I am going to install a couple of those hacks for Netflix for international browsing though. Good stuff.

its grey market at best. its the responsibility of the content provider to secure it tho. not your fault if the portal is open and you get there using an internet search.

Oddly the same doesn't apply for anything found on any kind of file sharing service...

I ran popcorn time for while. It's basically torrent with a user-friendly front end that's kind of like Netflix - you can start watching as soon as it reaches a certain percentage. it prioritizes its download to get the beginning of the movie first. It multisources from other users like a normal torrent. It had a VPN setting that I never used because it absolutely stalled any viewing. We watched a bunch of stuff with no repercussions.

Until we watched Mad Max while it was still in theaters. Started getting nasty C&D emails from my ISP in a couple days.

So...it probably depends on whose overlording and how hot the property is. I uninstalled it after that. Just wasn't worth the hassle. My luck I'd be the one regular schmo they threw the book at to make a point. Redbox is only a buck.

I almost wish the ISPs would really clamp down on torrents, so people would be forced to run torrents over darknets. It would be a difficult transition, but once done, it would make P2P file sharing impossible to track.

Can Netflix International Hacks be used on Roku?

I didn't think Torrents were still a thing. I knew some folks who got scared when Comcast sent them nastygram and they (and I) bailed from the Torrent scene at that time. Sucks because there was actually a lot of really good free music available via torrents.

yeah but of course the problem there is that file sharing is where you participate in its distribution...

they can never realistically prove your consumption to be criminal, but your distribution? thats usable in court~
