An equally concerned member of the Ninja Video community alerted and directed me to a new streaming site that offers full television shows and films in high quality.
It’s called Rea1ease, and its interface is very similar to the original Ninja Video, but doesn’t require the beta applet. I was unable to recognize any of the administrators but it’s conceivable by the design, interface and aesthetic that some of the old team is working on this.
Sure to cover any legal implications in the wake of Obama’s recent crackdown on online piracy, the disclaimer reads:
Re1ease.net only provides links to other sites on the Internet (DivX host sites, Zshare, megavideo.com, veoh.com and others.) We do not host or upload any video, films, or media files.
Therefore, re1ease.net is not responsible for the accuracy, compliance, copyright, legality, decency, or any other aspect of the content of other linked sites.
If you have any legal issues please contact the appropriate media file owners / host sites as we are unable to forward messages on your behalf.
That sounds good to me, and by writing about this and putting a link to the site exempts me in the same spirit. Happy streaming everybody!

Today, the feds cracked down and shut off nine illegal piracy sites that were streaming movies and television shows for their members. It’s part of a strategy unveiled by US President Obama last week to curb global online piracy. Targeting illegal websites seemed to be the first logical step in this approach.
Amongst some of those sites included TVShack.net, PlanetMoviez.com, and a personal favourite, Ninjavideo.net. Many of these sites were providing bootlegs of “Toy Story 3” and other films just hours after their first screenings in cinemas.
I’m fairly certain that Ninjavideo and Ninjavideo BETA were by far the most clever sites I’ve used. It wouldn’t matter if you just missed something on television, because it would have been already uploaded– in 720p quality–ready for your viewing.
Looks like Surf The Channel is down too, which sucks for me because I haven’t yet watched the latest installment of True Blood. Shucks.

I’m so glad someone made a mash up of this. It’s uncanny!
It’s very clear that “Don’t Turn Around” and “Alejandro” are the same song. At least, the same pop formula.
Thanks to jproc911 for making this, it’s perfect.

He’s #1 on my playlists these days.
Listen to the music of Anders Trentemoller, a Danish electronic musician who blurs the lines between chillout trip hop and dark, throbbing industrial production.
This is “Sycamore Feeling,” the single from his forthcoming third full-length, Into the Great Wide Yonder, which is set to be released in June by Audiomatique Records.
