A search on "Bron Broen downloads" shows that DMCA notice to Google at
the bottom. The notice is from FOX's legal division. However it does
not list Bron Broen but "The Bridge" instead. The way the DMCA works is
the copyright holder must send a notice. YouTube itself won't go
through a look for apparent copyright violations.
Also DailyMotion is considered a major competition to YouTube so much so
our dear friends at Yahoo recently made an offer to purchase it. Though
they are Paris based they DO have a US presence with an office in New
York. Their ads are even more targeted to the viewer than YouTube.
For instance an ad for Walgreens actually displays the address of the
Walgreens store closest to me as an overlay.
There was a rule for VHS that studios considered as why they wrote off
people exchanging VHS tapes and that was because the quality was
reduced. Some distributors may think same about titles that wind up on
some of the viewing services (bit torrent is a different matter) since
the quality is reduced from the original. For instance I looked into
some of the purported Netfilx capture software and folks complained it
was just doing screen captures on a PC rather than hijacking the stream
(which is encrypted small segment files). Netflix is overly paranoid of
making it's service available on Linux but Hulu is not.
So it would probably be up to the Danish network to file a complaint and
they may feel it is not worth their time.

I did watch season 1 of Bron on Youtube on my XBox. The second season
I torrented since I could not find it on youtube and was not familiar
with using the DailyMotion. For safety sake, I use a VPN and download
from some outlet in another country. Also, I had to wait about 3 days
after I captured the video before someone would upload English
subtitles. When I had the subs, I then played the files thru VLC, the
greatest video app ever!
I get great film and television suggestions from you folks here and
constantly surprise my wife with what I find. Sometimes, I find
something only I enjoy, like Bron or Luther or Orphan Black.
I also had an AVelLinkplayer2 which gave great service for a few years
in spite of its cheap build quality. Region Free players are a life
saver for the film buff. I remember ordering The Battle of Britain on
region 2 because the regions 1 disc was mono, whilst the region 2
pressing had the roadshow stereo track. This was corrected years
later for region 1 represssings, but I had moved on.
Since we are cable cutterz, most of what we see non-disc related is
either streamed via UMS to the PS3 or Xbox, or from Amazon Prime and
Netflix on those devices. Also, I use Windows Media Center with a USB
HDTV stick to record OTA programs (mostly PBS stuff like Nova).
