1. If the website offering them is licensed to show them, then it is legal. otherwise, no, it's not legal. Try sites like Hulu.
2. depends what the creators of the show want. For example Trey Parker and Mat Stone of south park don't care if their episodes are on the internet
3. if they are licensed and have permission, no. southparkstudios.com and hulu.com are two examples. They have permission from the creators.
4. I stick to Fancast.com and Hulu.com. They have deals with the studios and the movies and shows they air are legally broadcast. You can't find everything, but you can find a lot! Plenty to keep you busy without worrying about those pesky viruses or breaking laws.
5. I've watched both tv shows and movies on hulu.com. It's not illegal because, if it were, they wouldn't have people like Denis Leary (Rescue Me) and Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy) doing commercials for them.
6. It is legal to watch it where they have the copyrights to watch it at. For example Hulu is one of the best. The shows network sites are legal. But people do it anyway all the time.They risk virus's and mal ware and all kinds of ad pop ups etc. And at the same time many sites as for personal info and god knows what they can do with that.
