3 People Are Speaking Their Mind


  1. […] Pero hoy no voy tirarle flores al servicio ni nada por el estilo, sino que al ver una entrada en webtvwire me pareció muy importante compartir mi punto de vista en el asunto. Si hay algo en lo que se caracterizan la mayoría de las páginas que te dan la posibilidad de ganar dinero con tus vídeos es que el material tiene que ser tuyo, pero este no es el caso de AdBrite. […]

  2. You have to realise that ALLSP and Adbrite are not breaking the laws in their countries. ALLSP merely provides links to the services such as youtube and myspace which are breaking the law by hosting the episodes. Statements such as “Video pirates like ALLSP” are incorrect. Allsp does not in any way condone the upload of pirated episodes.

  3. Anonymous:
    In the USA and Europe linking to pirated material in a systematic way is illegal. It is not protected by safe harbor laws if it is knowingly linking to pirated material.

    YouTube is not breaking the law because it removes the episodes when requested - hence it is protected by the DMCA.

    Also it is not simply linking - it is redistributing them using a different broadcasting system and inserting their own adverts. This is known as vicarious infringement as AllSP gains a financial benefit.

    “Allsp does not in any way condone the upload of pirated episodes.”
    Really? It is the only reason the site exists.

    It definitely condones earning from other people’s content. Which is nothing other than stealing.

    ———–

    If AllSP wants to give the finger to Fox and other TV networks then remove all the adverts - then the argument against ALLSP for copyright violation is significantly weakened.
