Sharing The Sickness is not a streaming platform. It does not host, store, upload, or transmit any video content. Every film listed in this archive is presented exclusively through embedded players served by large, independent third-party platforms — platforms that actively publish and distribute their own embed code for the explicit purpose of allowing other websites to display their players. We are, by definition, an information index: a directory that points.
This distinction is not a technicality. It is the entire architecture of how the modern web works. Millions of websites — from major newspapers to university libraries — embed third-party video players daily. The platforms that provide those players have written that embed capability into their own terms of service. We have zero control over the servers, the content decisions, or the availability of any embedded player. When a platform removes a video, the embed on this page goes dark automatically. We are a window, not a wall.
Every major video platform on the internet — including the largest in the world — publishes a standardized HTML embed code alongside their content. This is not an exploit or a workaround. It is an intentional product feature, deliberately engineered so that their players can be deployed across the web by any website operator. The platform retains full control: they host the file, they serve the stream, they enforce their own content policies, and they can disable any embed at any moment by flipping a single switch on their end.
The legal framework governing this model is well-established. Under the Server Test — the standard applied by the U.S. Ninth Circuit and affirmed as recently as 2023 in Hunley v. Instagram — direct copyright liability rests with whichever entity physically hosts and serves the content. The server test assigns primary responsibility to the person with the best ability to prevent infringement: the one who controls the server. An index site that embeds an externally-hosted player neither stores a copy of the work nor controls access to it. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has repeatedly filed amicus briefs defending embedding as a core, protected feature of internet architecture — not a fringe activity, but the foundational mechanism by which the web interconnects.
The Sharing The Sickness index is organized to help you locate films across the furthest edges of world cinema. Our curated links span several distinct movements and genres:
Every title listed on Sharing The Sickness — from our Hot Transmissions to our Recommended lists — is surfaced via an embedded player that lives entirely on a third-party server we neither own nor operate. We do not upload content. We do not transcode or repackage files. We do not make editorial decisions about what those platforms choose to host. Our function is identical to that of a film database or a library catalog: we describe, we classify, and we point. The content itself remains on the servers of the platforms that chose to publish it — and those platforms retain full, unilateral authority to remove it at any time.
If a third-party platform receives a valid legal complaint about a specific video and removes it, that video vanishes from this index automatically — no action required on our part, because we never held the file to begin with. This is not a loophole. It is how the web was designed to function, and it is the architecture that the EFF, major publishers, and courts have consistently recognized as the standard model of online information distribution.
Sharing The Sickness is a curated information index for extreme, transgressive, and underground cinema. It does not host or store any video content. Every film in the archive is displayed through an embedded player served directly by an independent third-party platform. We are a directory — we describe and point. The platforms we embed from publish their own embed codes and retain full control over their content at all times.
No. Sharing The Sickness does not host, store, upload, or transmit any video files. Every player you see on this site is an iframe or embed element served from a third-party platform's own servers. We have no access to those servers, no control over their content, and no ability to alter what they serve. If a platform removes a video, its player on this page goes blank — because the file was never ours to begin with.
All films are indexed and displayed via embedded players provided by third-party platforms — the same embed mechanism used by millions of websites worldwide. There are no signups, subscriptions, or downloads required. Simply navigate our archives — New, Hot, Top, or Recommended — and click the "Stream Film" button on any movie card to launch the embedded player in its dedicated page.
Yes. The entire Sharing The Sickness website is fully optimized for mobile devices. The embedded third-party players displayed on each film page are served by the originating platforms, which manage their own mobile compatibility. You can browse our full index and launch any embedded player directly from any smartphone or tablet web browser.
