I'm pretty sure it's not but my brother watches anime on websites like animefreak.tv and animeshippuuden.com and claims it is. Okay, so one day I was bored so I went to go watch a couple movies uploaded on youtube and brothers stops by... "Nerkcon, that's illegal, they were uploaded!" :roll: He claims what he watches online is legal because some of them upload some of their episodes on their websites for free. So why does he go to sites that have hundreds of annoying advertisements everywhere like a cheap porn website that uploads THE ENTIRE SERIES on their website? Is it legal? It would be awesome if it is but I just doubt it. :(
I'm not too sure but watching online is legal I believe but uploading the videos is illegal if the series is already licensed to be distributed online by someone else.
Interesting. But does this mean if a show has English voice overs or even official subtitles it is probably licensed in the west and thus illegal to watch online for free?
Ya, it's legal if your just watching it. If you download it, on the other hand, it's probably illegal, depending where you get it from. But, otherwise, it's legal, ya.
