I've been burned tonight by TVShows.ORG (an affiliate of TV.org), let me explain.
I found out earlier this evening that I have missed the first 5 episodes of Ghost Hunters season 2. I did a bit torrent search at www.torrentspy.com and found that there weren't a lot of seeds for season two, so...
I searched google for "download ghost hunters" and an adsense ad came up advertising, "Download your favorite TV shows" linking to TVShows.org. I imagined in my mind how amazingly awesome it would be to download my favorite shows.. so I signed up and paid around $35.
SOOO, i logged into the members area. The first red flag I noticed was that the site wanted me to download a p2p program... I wondered why a service like this would need a p2p downloader. Then there is a link, BROWSE THROUGH LIBRARY. I clicked on the link and it took me to TORRENTSPY.COM - I WAS JUST CHARGED $35 TO GO BACK TO WHERE I STARTED.
I can't believe it, its still blowing my mind. I'd like to get my money back and the ToS says I have 7 days to do so... wish me luck and don't waste your money on such a free service.
