Anarchir: Heidi Klum breakup, is that what you really want to talk about Sidereel? Or perhaps you should bring up the recent attacks on the web sites that are your bread and butter. Stand up. You have a large audience, and it is for your own personal gain that you get involved.

SideReel: Hi Anarchir! Unfortunately we have no affiliation with the sites that are submitted to SideReel, so we can't speak for them or why they've removed their content. We continue to provide a place for users like you to submit places to watch available TV content online.

Anarchir:  Thanks for the generic response again. Gimme some backbone, stand up for yourself, be your own hero! I believe in you Sidereel Admin, you can do it.

SideReel: ‎...What?

Anarchir: Officially come out against all these actions and then help your users find sources that havent been attacked.

SideReel: Sorry for the confusion, but SideReel is actually in full compliance with the DMCA (and always has been) and we respond to all take-down requests. We have no plans to 'come out' against a site's decision to take down their content, as we are not affiliated with these third-party sites, and it isn't our intellectual property to protect. If it's still unclear, you can read more in our terms of service: http://www.sidereel.com/topic/copyright

I tried to get them to take a stand against the federal attacks on video upload sites after I had been explaining to some of the confused users of the site why they couldnt find any links to the videos they were looking for. Sidereel pretends like it isnt happening.

I really like Sidereel.  I don't blame them for not getting involved.  They should really just keep their heads down.

There are laws that the government could use to go after them but it is a lot harder to go after a site that is just posting links instead of actually uploading TV shows.
