While France continues to try and struggle against piracy in all shapes and form without questioning outdated, tired economical models through the HADOPI and LOPPSI laws, people start finding alternate ways to quench their entertainment thirst to the Internet fountain. TV series from abroad are pretty much what we’re interested in here, preferably in their original version, and even if the original channels that aired them will broadcast them online, it’s often impossible to watch them outside the borders of the country where they were aired in the first place.

And that’s where TVGorge, the rising star of online streaming websites, comes into play : their proprietary indexing and search engine scans sources such as MegaVideo or WiseVid looking for videos of the most-requested series, and users vote for the quality levels of the streams to put forward the best possible experience. No need to download anything aside from a browser and a reasonably speedy connection, and no need to wait for the end of a long download. In order to find the shows you want to watch, all you need to do is browse through the lists of alphabetically-sorted series or search the website. How cool is that ?

TVGorge has recently faced some issues due to its success and stopped for a few days to stream the videos directly from their website, but everything is back to normal now ; it was well worth it, since full-screen playback that was a little laggy, is now very smooth. Enjoy the show ! As for me, I’ll go back to watching Caprica !

[Update] Today, March the 4th 2010, I just realized that TV Gorge has put up a donation/quizz system. Take a quizz or make a Paypal donation and you’ll have unlimited access to the video streams.
