How would I go about this?

[Hurley4540]

I am interested in making a website where people can watch South Park episodes for free online, but how would I go about getting the new episodes that come out and uploading them?

 

[weblord]

have you considered the legalities of it first before doing it? there are so many out there file upload and video upload sites that can provide you with that.

 

[Hurley4540]

Yes, I know there could be some legal problems. But I am wondering how I would go about getting the new episodes that come out.

As far as I know South Park and all of it's content is open for sharing. The creators do not go after file sharers, etc.. There is already a site that has every episode available to watch in the database: http://southparkzone.com. It is run by an independent webmaster.

I actually just emailed him about him selling his website :lol: , but where does he get the new episodes that come out.

Better have deeeeep pockets I'm not sure really where he gets his episodes..

 

[Hurley4540]

I have shallow pockets....probably won't be buying :lol: , is his site REALLY 'famous' ???

 

[nicedomains]

I don't know about famous but it gets a lot of traffic. Estibot says approx 24,000 unique visitors a day.

 

[Hurley4540]

Oh, did not realize THAT much traffic. That is A LOT.

getting new episodes would either require a DVR / tv capture card/box OR the ability to torrent.

 

[Hurley4540]

I have DVR

 

[nasaboy007]

so i guess you would have to torrent them (or other source of download - p2p is probably your best bet at getting decent quality).

we're treading on dangerous waters if we get more indepth about torrents, so i'll just say utorrent is a good client, sites where torrents are indexed are known as trackers, and google is your friend.

no harm done?

@hurley
p.s. pm me if you want specifics/more info. i won't discuss it here.

 

[Hurley4540]

I know about torrents......

 

[nasaboy007]

oh wow i am so sorry lol i COMPLETELY misread your post as "i hate dvr" instead of "i have dvr".

glad to know that u know about torrents, XD (u'd be surprised how many people haven't even heard of the ever-useful torrent)


well imo i think those would be the only two ways to actually get the new episodes (short of making some sort of deal with whoever legally owns/broadcasts the original episodes XD)

good luck with what you do though.

 

[Hurley4540]

Alright, I'll probably just give up my idea of doing this :/

PM Sent. As an experienced coder and a little digging I have found a way to get a copy of this sites content.

 

[Hurley4540]

Alright, will read it.
