Grepper 3,193 April 1, 2015 Share April 1, 2015 Ummmm Piratebay is NOT legal because all of the stuff on there is pirated and piracy is a crime...>.> But anyway my answer is http://www.watchcartoononline.com for sure. Just so you know, Most of the files on The Pirate Bay are copyright-infringing, but there are also some public domain and other legal-to-share files (like GNU/Linux distributions) available on it. Also, watching episodes on the website you mentioned is just as illegal as torrenting episodes if the website doesn't have the copyright holder's permission, though the chances of getting caught torrenting are higher. By the way, I don't torrent illegal stuff, but I'm seeding about 10 legal torrents right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crimson Cross 7,532 April 1, 2015 Share April 1, 2015 Television is the way to go for me. It isn't the preferred method for everyone though it has its perks. I just look it up in the planner. "click.." Record. Done. I can now view it whenever I want! Now with more added tea leaves! My fantastic signature made by Gone Airbourne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekkard 49 April 1, 2015 Share April 1, 2015 I ask this because I've done all my watching from Netflix. While I love watching it there, Netflix drops shows all the time. Also I can't very well watch season 5 episode by episode on Netflix, and I'm NOT waiting for all the episodes to come out first. So what are my options for watching episodes when they come out as well as buying older episodes now? Websites including http://www.watchcartoononline.com/, http://dubbed-scene.com/, http://www.justanimedubbed.tv/, http://www.animeflavor.com/ and also http://www.cartoon-world.tv/.

Grepper 3,193 April 1, 2015 Share April 1, 2015 Wait wait what? How do you know watchcartoononline.com is illegal? Please tell me this is just an April Fool's Joke... No, I'm not kidding. I haven't seen any evidence that the site either has or doesn't have Hasbro's permission to host episodes on their website. I seriously doubt that they do, provided that the show is sold on the iTunes store, is pay-per-view on Youtube, and is sold on DVD. Yes, it appears to be copyright infringing, but there is probably little chance of getting caught. DailyMotion looks less cheesy to me, and all the episodes can be downloaded from it with youtube-dl.

Grepper 3,193 April 1, 2015 Share April 1, 2015 So you're saying that if the police find out that I've been going there I'm gonna go to jail? O_O Probably not, but it's still illegal. Copyright infringement is so widespread that they can't catch everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was really illegal to go to watchcartoononline.com though I would seriously think that the website would get taken down though.

Grepper 3,193 April 1, 2015 Share April 1, 2015 It's still technically copyright infringing, though Hasbro may be ignoring it. We can test out this theory by sending a letter to Hasbro's legal department informing them of this heinous site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Cedar 1,408 April 7, 2015 Share April 7, 2015 So you're saying that if the police find out that I've been going there I'm gonna go to jail? O_O Likely not. If any legal action were to be taken it would likely be against the site itself rather than going after everyone who's ever logged onto it. It's still technically copyright infringing, though Hasbro may be ignoring it. We can test out this theory by sending a letter to Hasbro's legal department informing them of this heinous site. They don't seem to be too concerned. I think they see the show as advertising for merch which cannot be easily pirated. 1 Roleplaying OC: Red Cedar - Cast Character: Applejack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Piranha 29,449 April 7, 2015 Share April 7, 2015 I think streaming is totally legal, as you have to deal with advertisements, which is how money flows with TV shows Sig by Discords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adorkable 2,737 April 7, 2015 Share April 7, 2015 Then get cable... I second this, respectfully. There really isn't an easy way to support the show without cable or watching it on Netflix. However, Equestria Daily is pretty well known for posting links to the episodes when they've been put on the web for all to watch. If you still don't feel right about it, remember you can always go out and buy pony merchandise to support the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grepper 3,193 April 7, 2015 Share April 7, 2015 I think streaming is totally legal, as you have to deal with advertisements, which is how money flows with TV shows If you are referring to watchcartoononline.com, the advertising revenue probably goes to the people running the site, with Hasbro seeing none of it. There are legal streaming sites like Hulu that use ads, but they actually get permission from the copyright holder, and the copyright holder receives royalties. Please keep in mind that I'm not saying it's wrong, just technically illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrazyDashie 1,847 April 7, 2015 Share April 7, 2015 youtube... if all episodes are down dailymotion. dailymotion all the time <3 20% cooler in 10 seconds flat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetolebob18 728 October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 Dailymotion used to download WAY faster than YouTube. Now, it is the other was around. If you can't support the show by watching on cable, then YouTube is probably your best bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
