Has anyone seen this site?

http://peekvid.com/

It sure doesn't seem legal. How can they have "Children of Men" and other new releases? Also, how are they making money?

I'll give it two weeks at best.

Shhh.

This a terrorist front for the People's Front of Judea! Don't buy anything from them, unless you're with the Judean People's Front.

Sweet Mother of Pearl! They have Big Wolf on Campus! (Why yes, I have a secret affinity for cheesy Canadian teenybopper comedy-dramas...) And noooo..., I'm not watching it... I could never condone this immoral website!

Anybody have a clue how they are making money? The bandwidth must be expensive, and I don't see any ads.

I would suspect it uses minimal bandwidth since most of the links I clicked streamed content from dailymotion.

It would be legal if they had gotten permission from the makers of these movies. That seems extremely unlikely, however.
You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!
