American TV Shows on the Internet for Free

[Volty]

Just putting it out her for those interested. My family lives in China and this is where we go to get TV shows. http://www.xiaoli.cc/video/detail/15

The link goes to Lost just for an example, but from here though, it should be pretty easy to figure out even if you don't speak Chinese.

To read numbers in Chinese one horizontal line is 1, two horizontal lines are 2, tree horizontal lines are three, a square with markings on the two upper corners is four. So for most all shows start at the bottom for season one, episode one and move up from there.

We watch Lost in HiDef on abc.com

Hey, you're a guy. Maybe you can explain this new TV thing to me. I have a lot of questions.
I heard a commercial state that "by law" all TVs will be digital or something in 2009.

Well, I for one am really bummed about the rabbit ears economy and am wondering why are they doing this?
(I have my conspiracy theories of course). What gives them the right to say it is a LAW how we receive signal?
What are the pros and cons to our new TV?

I think for myself - the future of TV is online. Less commercials, free, watch when you want, free......

Not a guy, but I have a little info on this. :) What is happening is that "they" are requiring networks to only broadcast on the digital bandwidth. Right now, apparently, they use both digital and analog. Once they switch to digital only, the analog bandwidth can be used for other purposes. (Be sold for mucho dinero.)

You can still use rabbit ears. I do. But I bought them a few months ago and made sure they would work with digital signal.

I agree that the future of tv is online, but with the writers' strike, and the alleged upcoming athletes' strike, I predict it will most certainly NOT be free, and there will be WAY more commercials. :mad: Gotta pay those writers/athletes some how, right?

So, is us watching this a violation of copyright? Or just them posting it? Or you passing it along to us?
