i got a request to create a script for crafty tv.
they provide .nsv streams for old tv series like simpsons, friends, m.a.s.h, etc for free. haven't watched any of them though, since you need an activex control to do so.
i was wondering is this site legal?
ok the stuff has been broadcasted on the tv back then. and i don't think there is any country where the simpsons haven't been broadcasted yet.
but i don't think this would allow people to stream it into the net for free.
so can anybody please comment on this.
i don't want to create any scripts that access illegal sites.

well right on there site under the conditions of use section it states.
legal notice
if you wish to be a viewer of this website you must meet the following requirements before you watch:
1) you own the program(s) on dvd/other legally obtained form of media.
2) you receive a cable/satellite/antenna feed with the program(s)
it is your fundamental right as a consumer to record/copy/digitize/re-view/ anything you buy or subscribe to at any time you wish to review them. since these tv shows are easily accessible to nearly 100% of the u.s. population, and a majority of the foreign population we do not wish to burden you with any proof of ownership/subscribership. we make what you have the fundamental right to record and review available to you 24/7 if you do not have the personal ability to record/view at home.
so you can go from that.

howver if you buy a vhs-tape with a movie that doesn't give you the right to get the dvd-version for free :p or if you seen it on cable/satellite you can't legaly download it from p2p :hmm:
...again the copyright and fair-use laws may differ from country to country (or even state to state if you're in the usa), then it may be interpreted differently by diffrent lawers and judges.
ps! the odds of someone 'attacking' a script for a website before 'attacking' the website itself is slim to none, even then they usually send you a polite warning first asking to please stop.

its like saying isohunt.com is illegal, but all that does is retrieve links from other site. the script itself is 100% legal and doesnt break any laws.
if u want ill add the legal notice to the script so every1 no's the terms and conditions of use. but the script itself doesnt in any way break the law.
