Lots of Popular TV shows online
If you’re fond of watching series like 24, Charmed, Lost, The Simpsons, and even MacGyver, you can check out peekvid.com. The site hosts a handful of episodes from among the most popular of television series. Of course, given the nature of the videos (copyright issues, anyone?) and the popularity of video downloads (the site had just been DUGG), the site is likely to go offline once the owner runs out of bandwidth or the authorities issue some sort of restraining order. It’s just a matter of who causes the site to go offline first!
Note that a whois query would tell you the site is US-based. Steve Rubel of Micropersuasion gave the site until yesterday to stay online. Hey, it’s still up!
In the meantime, I’ll go on watching some episodes of 24, Charmed, and the Simpsons, bandwidth-permitting. Or proably not, lest MPAA reps and FBI agents come knocking on my door with an arrest warrant.

I am sure this website will stay much longer online as it doesn’t host the content. It’s clone “contnetstock.com” (or is Peekvid the clone?) states that in TOS. Peekvid is not much different
