Not a lot else to do at night when you LIVE in Fuerte.   Think about that when you're "Dreaming Of Living On The Rock Someday ..."  Paddster. After the first couple of years, going into Caleta to a Karaoke Bar is the last thing you want to do. It's fine Holidaymakers.

I have the ability to stream tv to the internet but not sure if there's a big enough audience to broadcast too :/
I recently hooked up my spare Virgin Media box to my pc and have all the channels imaginable on it except for sky sports as I refuse to pay for that, though I did recently find out that I get BT sport 1 & 2 for free!

Would anyone be interested if I started up a small site streaming the stuff people want? Xfactor on a saturday, soaps through the week etc?

Also apart from if anyone is interested, would people be interested also in spreading the word? Afterall, I would prefer not to be streaming to 1 person etc

Yeah your gonna need a decent ish connection, not saying that Canary Net isnt a good connection because it is but the problem is that several people will be connected to the hotspot at any one time.
Ideally you need a download speed of at least 1mb to stream anything of good quality.
Many mobile networks are capable of this now, failing that if you can use someones wifi then that would do.

We checked the speed during the summer and were getting between 4-6 mb. There was a lot of holiday makers about but I think they were using WiFi on phones etc in Fabs and Mustangs. The young fella was down loading full lenght films in about 2 hours. Fully legal of course.

Well, seeing as 95%  of Bars in Caleta have Karaoke as the Main Attraction. You'll have no choice but to stop in and watch Corrie and Emmerdale like most of the other locals do. I don't do Eastenders though, can't understand those Cockneys  8)

woe 10 - whenever Filmon is down try www.myiplayer.eu (http://www.myiplayer.eu).

Recording might be tricky but they have most of the UK channels including Sky Sports

Between 4 and 6 is fine for streaming and downloading films. I watched the new "Lone Ranger" about a month ago, well before it was released. TPB is great. ( and legal )

Not so sure about that.

They are not hosting anything pirated.
They just provide the links to pirated (and non-pirated) files.

What people do thereafter may or may not be legal.

If TPB is deemed  illegal then so should Google, Bing, Jeeves etc.
They all provide links to pirated (and non pirated) files.

You spent a month on medication when they axed Brookside Paddster . (Just a joke I think)                       I must say all these soaps are a pain in the butt for me as most of my work involves meeting clients in the evenings and I have to juggle the times these programs are on the tv, plus Man United, Liverpool etc.etc. Shes in one room watching soaps and hes in another watching football. How do we make a living at all ?

Oh I know, I didn't mean the site is illegal, I meant downloading most of the stuff from it.

Biggles is right. I use Bitlord as my Torrent Host, which is Open Source, meaning anybody can use the softwhere for what ever. There are no warnings on the program that what you are doing is illegal. If the Powers that be deem TPB to be illegal, why don't they go after Bitlord, and others.

I don't know why, but I know people who have received letter's from company's threatening to take them to court,  sue them etc for downloading movies/programs. I doubt it would happen here but it definitely happens in the US and sometimes in the UK.

That said it doesn't stop me downloading stuff.

Edit

TPB has been shutdown a few times, that's why it is always changing it's email address.

You can't make a p2p program illegal as all it is is a sharing platform that only unlocks (to the average user) something that a pc is capable of doing anyway without it, and that is "sharing".
In theory any programs like bitlord, utorrent etc in an ideal world would be sharing documents that are legal (or that's what they will tell you it was intended for).
However programs that have been shutdown in the past like Limewire were punished because they offered an internal search engine that allowed copyrighted content to be found and downloaded, I think also (though not sure) that they hosted some material.
