FUCK OFF IDIOTS... GO TO FOX.COM TO WATCH THE SIMPSONS WatchTheSimpsonsOnline, also known as wtso.net and wtso.tv, was a streaming website for The Simpsons episodes, launched in 2008.
Description
It featured 24 seasons. It also included some of the shorts which first appeared on The Tracy Ullman Show in 1987 and The Simpsons Movie, which came out in 2007. The Website also caters for fans of The Simpsons Comics, with 134 full length comics.
The website was merely a host that linked to and embedded various video sources of episodes around the Internet. These sources could either be viewed on the website or you could follow the link through to the original website the video was uploaded to.
Lawsuit and closure
Throughout October 2013, FOX started to file copyright infringements against the website. On October 9, two lawyers from FOX, two IT professionals, and a forensic specialist searched the house of the admin and seized all electronic devices and related equipment. The FOX lawyers handed over a lawsuit for $10.5 million to the admin.
The admin was later given an option to settle for $1 million. A few days later, the site was shut down after 5 years of service. However, court cases are still ongoing.
