No More Illegal Downloads, South Park Is Now Free!

For all South Park fans out there, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have something in store for them; all the episodes ever made will become available for free on a website created especially for that. The South Park Digital Studio, the joint venture between Comedy Central (a division of MTVN Entertainment Group, a unit of Viacom) and the two creators of the popular animated show, and sponsored by Toyota and Virgin, will give fans something they’ve always wanted: free episodes, from all the 12 seasons, all legal.

The two show producers couldn’t have said it better: “We got really sick of having to download our own show illegally all the time, so we gave ourselves a legal alternative.” For the time being, the site is in its beta version, but it already attracted 3 million views since its launch day, last Wednesday. According to the contract obligations, every episode premiered on Comedy Central will be available for seven days, after which they will permanently return to the site 30 days after the premiere.

“The South Park phenomenon began as a viral video clip. Now it continues its digital and creative leadership with the launch of an extensive site devoted entirely to ‘South Park’,” said Doug Herzog, MTV Networks Entertainment Group. “Southparkstudios.com is a true representation of Matt and Trey’s vision and is the ultimate online destination for ‘South Park’ fans – allowing them full access to every ‘South Park’ episode ever created.”

The animated TV series became a worldwide phenomenon since its debut in August 1997, and is currently at its 12th season. The story takes us to a little town in Colorado, called South Park, in which a bunch of kids face everyday reality in the most satirical way possible, and with a humor that is to be appreciated. Stanley, Kyle, Eric, Kenny or Butters are just a few of the characters that have created both controversy and many fans around the world, in a simple, yet humorous animated show.
