Peekvid Down – another launch?

2007 February 6
by mattroberts

PeakvidLooks as though Peekvid is being relaunched – again. It’s down at this moment with an email signup for when the service is relaunched.

This is the second relaunch since I first wrote about them back in May.

Maybe DailyMotion – the guys in France who hosted all those videos received a warning and in turn smacked Peekvid off their service. But there’s nothing on their blog to indicate that.

Or maybe they’re rewriting the scripts that re-uploaded the videos, or maybe they’ll be back up in 5 days, or maybe they just got tired of doing it….. anyone have any info?

    any chance their site was hijacked and entering email addresses just gives the culprits an idea of who was exploiting the free-vid thing?

    Neh… I guess it will be back up shorty, its maybe a matter of a few days. I believe they are upgrading the page. Some additional options would be great, like having the poster next to the title, or a link to imdb. Maybe comments or “digg” like feature. I don’t know, the whole idea behind the web page sound very promising. If they don’t do it somebody else will.

    Possibility server got taken over as this is taking way too long to upgrade.

    Don’t get too paranoid but also don’t get too cozy on a site with as much illegal shit as peekvid.

    If they did log your email address and you had watched say 30 episodes of family guy.. what can they charge you with? its on tv.. tv is free.. the movies may be a different problem.. but really… i put my email address in there. fuck that. how do they know i watched anything? i could jsut say i heard baotu it and signed up and nothing happened.
    I also like to drink and drive.

    Could tell something was going on when all the players switched to some crap that didnt work. It really was the best site on the net, hope it gets relaunched by the same people with fixes.

    Probably just Youtube and dailymotion blocking the links to peekvid.

  28. 2007 February 9
    Choda-boy permalink

    I don’t think they can do anything legaly to visitors to the site.

    First off, they are all streams, which means that you are not downloading the movies. Second, there is nothing illegal about watching pirated movies. It’s only illegal to copy with intent to distribute.

  29. 2007 February 9
    Choda-boy permalink

    To add to my previous note:

    If they were shut down, and the email form is some law enforcement phishing thing, it is most likely to gather evidence against Peekvid about viewership.

  30. 2007 February 9
    Choda-boy permalink

    Thirdly, Peekvid doesn’t even host the videos. They only host links to other streaming sites like YouTube. So I doubt that they are down for any legal reason much less by some law enforcement agency.

    Guys.. don’t fret. http://www.alloftv.net is here to save the day.

    thanks for asking. we are working on it hard and fast. the growth in peekvid really outran some of the technology, so we needed to build a new database. and we want to add other sources of material.
    we hope you added your email online so we can let you know. we will be back very soon!!!

    All of the people freaking out about entering there email address on peekvid are idiots. Peekvid IS actually in beta testing. I ‘ve been on the site in its beta version…it’s different but all the videos are still there. So just take a second to calm down before you delete your email account.

    next time before you post something, learn how to spell. Maybe this site should stay down so people like you will stop watching movies and go to school and actually learn something

  52. 2007 February 11

    The spelling is so bad on some of these posts I can hardly understand them. I used to be a teacher of English as a foreign language and it bugs me to see the English language mangled. What’s so hard about learning to use THERE, THEY’RE, and THEIR? I’ve really enjoyed reading your posts, but some of you come across as real nitwits.

    I see that I am recieving alot of traffic from this blog. I did not intend for the site to be launched at this time as it is not yet ready. If you do use the site please note that many more videos are arriving daily, and we are doing are best to meet demand. Please try to keep the site confidential for the time being.

    Ok, I’m closing comments here. Bad spelling and grammar I can accept (and I’m also guilty of.) But the threats and name calling are beginning to cross the line. I will post on any news I get from the guys @ Peekvid.
