The Simpsons Fan Site

[mikeh]

Mikeh,

your site has no charset defined and so I get strange characters with this part for example:

[7G03] <a href="http://simpsonsepisodes.com/viewer/watch.php?jump=103">Homer's Odyssey</a></strong> - -
Homer: “Oh no! What have I done? I smashed open my little boy's piggy bank, and for what? A few measly cents, not even enough to buy one beer. Wait a minute, lemme count and make sure... not even close.”

Is it legally ok to use the characters? I once wanted to use one of these cartoons as well, but the laws are very strict in Germany ..

Cheers, Connie

Thanks for the heads up! I'll define the charset..

In terms of legality, to be honest I am really not too sure.. It is not a for profit website (income does not even cover server costs), so I would assume using character images themselves is legal since there is a disclaimer stating the owners on the bottom of every page.

In terms of the videos, that is borderline.. I am sure you know of the "All videos are hosted on third party websites, we are just linking to the videos as any video indexing site would" stance..

I have had the website online for years now without problems.
