Ever notice why most illegal sites are so confusing to navigate and they make you click through multiple pages to find some movies? Thats how they make money. The more pages your exposed too means more ads your exposed to which means more accidental click throughs.

I'm not sure if they are available in other countries or not but Filmon and Ivi tv offer some live streaming stuff from the US. Don't get excited over it because it isn't very good but with one of them being free and the other costing like $4.99 a month it is a cheap way to access some content. Filmon (free) doesn't have much network content and there doesn't seem to be a way to filter porn channels but Ivi tv ($4.99) is pretty nice.

The legality of these two is up for dispute but they have both been to court so as they stand today they are legal or they would otherwise be shut down. Ivi claims to be a genuine cable provider by paying rebroadcasting fees to have permission to transmit network content. Filmon makes no such claim and had network content pulled from their lineup.

Filmon is mostly fringe channels that nobody cares about except for Viva (UK MTV) and Food Network UK.

Streaming quality is suspect on both.

Filmon (also works and freely available from safari on Idevices.)

The Filmon site claims there is a subscription fee but it seems to be outdated since the software works indefinitely without asking for sign-up.

True. It especially irks me as I'm American and I usually am on American sites that link videos and "I'm sorry this video is not available in your region" bugs the hell outta me.
It really sucks to have to use a proxy server just to watch US content. That's why I usually torrent TV shows so I don't have to wait for streaming and deal with that crap. :(

please, do tell me more about this proxy server thing
how does it work? 8)



As for porn...
I never thought porn sites make any money :p
I thought everyone just do it the illegal way,
its probably money laundering any way
