I kept saying I\'d give it a shot, but procrastinated on it a bit. I also promised myself not to be upset or surprised when the site shut down. When I saw it getting some press, I knew it was only a matter of time.

When you\'re doing something that you know to be of questionable legality? You bet it is.

True enough, but I can think of at least six synaptic malfunctions that I wouldn\'t have committed had it been me.
If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.

Seems like they\'ve taken a different tact to keep the site functional.  Whether that\'ll keep Viacom away, who knows...

It\'s a catch 22.  Viacom can\'t monitize the library enough to make it worth their while to make it available to the public and they also don\'t want fans to have access to it for free.  Maybe if a sub-distributor (like a Mill Creek) could make a deal.

Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.
