Streams of popular TV Series

Am I the only one who is seeing a massive increase in websites that offer streams of tv series for free ? I´am not sure about the legality and to be honest: I don´t want to know. If they want to offer free tv episodes of popular series like 24, Prison Break or Desperate Housewives - so be it.

A week ago I introduced peekvid.com which offered lots of tv series as streams on the internet. Today channelbreak.com emerged which seems to be using the same source that peekvid.com is using. Both are streaming videos that are hosted by guba.com. And guba.com is finally a usenet provider with a service to offer usenet content on their website.

The funny thing is that I´am not able to find out how they finance their service. There seems to be no paid service whatsoever. You have to register at guba.com but that registration seems to be free. I tested it out and was able to register without problems. There is no sign of a subscription fee, the faq and the terms of service do speak of fees for premium content for example but there is nothing like that inside at the moment.

I´am still very cautious about this service, my advise would be to forget about signing up at guba.com. It looks suspicious to me ..
