And dont worry about downloading, its all uploaded on other sites. Also it is very legal because the site doesnt host the files, nor do you download them. Some other user uploads the file on video uploading server. Basically it is legal to watch movies online that are uploaded on the site as long as you dont download them, its like going to youtube.

And for those who havent been to this site, you are welcome.
"Legal" by whose definition?

None of the files are hosted on the sites. Technically it's a legal loophole... since they're hosting just "links" to the files themselves... they're not doing anything illegal.

They make sure you know that you're leaving the website once your clicking on the link, and that they're just providing access to information, but not actually hosting it.

Most of the links will be hosted in Switzerland, South Korea, Taiwan, etc. where the laws don't forbid hosting of copyrighted material.

You've got pretty much every episode of the office, scrubs, family guy, Simpsons, you name it. It's also got a rapidly growing list of movies.

Re: www.alluc.org

From Wikipedia:

Problems
In January 2007, Fox and Paramount threatened the site owners to sue them and the company that hosted their server to if they didn't take down links to their specific content. In fear of lawsuits and having their site taken down, the site owners removed the requested series and adhered to proposal not to host the mentioned items.

Legal Controversy

When opening a link to a video on the site, the site generates the following message:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are now leaving alluc.org!
By clicking on, continue to content, you will be redirected to the Episode of your choice.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alluc claims in it's disclaimer/imprint[2] that it is not responsible for any of the content linked or referred to from it's pages. All youtube/dailymotion users signed a contract with the sites when they set up their accounts which forces them not to upload illegal content.

Web sites similar to alluc.org are quickly gaining momentum, all the while dodging legal flagging thanks to the number of changing hyperlinks.

Alluc.org’s biggest threat are companies including the Motion Picture Association of America, which has already won anti-piracy lawsuits against users on similar sites. Prosecution can include incarceration up to five years and fines reaching $150,000 U.S. per work.

Since users are aware that they do not own the copyright to these works, the onus is on them to accept the consequences of possible jail time if caught.
