Watching cartoon clips or TV series on YouTube depends on the ruling concerning these clips. If they are free of Sharia violations, then watching them is permissible. If they contain Sharia violations, then watching them is forbidden. Watching these clips published on YouTube is not considered piracy, and merely watching a pirated clip does not necessitate compensation.
