Instant-tv.org etc

[primelord]

Does anyone have any experience with Instant-tv.org or any of the other sites that apparently allow legal downloads of television shows and movies. Are these sites legit? I am having trouble figuring out how this is legal and there isn't much info on the legality on the main page at Instant-tv.org.

Anyone have any info on this?

This is in the fine print on the main page:

This just confuses me more as it appears just to be a P2P network. They advertise that you can download seasons etc of these television shows, but all these shows are copyright protected. Is this just a scam of some sort?

Why isn't CBS, ABC, NBC streamed to the internet?

geez, sounds like they just give you links to download all the p2p clients

Yeah from reading through the various sites now they all seem to just be front ends to the same place and it does appear that they just direct you to a place to download the p2p stuff and provide you some support for using those tools. The support is apprently what you are paying for.
