‘South Park’ episodes available for download online
“South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have set up a viable alternative to YouTube-based distribution of popular clips from the hit animated show: by giving away episodes on SouthParkStudios.com.
Parker and Stone said in a statement:
“We got really sick of having to download our own show illegally all the time, so we gave ourselves a legal alternative.”
The site offers every “South Park” episode including the current one, which stays live for a week after its airdate and then goes dark for the rest of the month at which point it is added to the site’s back catalog (so of the 169 episodes of the show curretntly produced, 168 are available on the live beta version of the site).
For now, the episodes will stream without ad breaks, but Comedy Central has indicated that they will eventually include advertising.
Comedy Central parent company Viacom’s lawsuit against YouTube is another reason why “South Park” is distributing outside of YouTube.
