Lost Season is now 'Found', On Demand! *Spoilers*

[Sliced]

I think the same way you do. Its indeed not such of a big deal, since its already free... on tv.

But, and there is 2 but here :
1- the companies who OWNS tmnt, never agreed to let the tmnt being freely presented on the web, on a site other than an official tmnt or TV site. To wich they surely gave their ok. So if an unauthorized site is using WHOLE episodes, and freely or even worse ask for a payment to see the episode, then, legally speaking, its illegal.

2- If not on tv or on an authorized site, the only other way to watch an episode, is actually on a dvd that the companies are producing and selling. Now, if someone buys a dvd, and puts it on the net, again on an unauthorized site, its also illegal. Same goes for a tape of the show, free or not.

So, all that to say that if the website, no matter what it is, never received the official ok from the companies who own the show, to actually show the whole episode, its illegal. But I think that companies are not bugged to see that a website is presenting a short preview. As long as its not the whole thing.
