Learn What Illegal Movie Downloads Are All About

By Benjamin Clay

Within minutes of hitting the net these days, it is perfectly possible to be accessing movie downloads simply and effectively. However, many of these are illegal sites and, whilst free content may sound all well and good, there are distinct issues and problems; not just that it is a crime either.

Many people bemoan that cost of having to rent or purchase a move. Equally, many complain about the cost of going to the theater to see the latest releases. However, it is important to remember that these guys; the studios, actors, film crew and so on are doing a job, like we all do. So though it may not seem as such, it is tantamount to stealing from somebody's pocket.

Then there are the people behind these movies; they do profit from the crime. Though you may get the movie for free, they will be making a buck somewhere and, this money will likely finance crimes such as drug trafficking, child prostitution and international terrorism.

But of course, things are complicated as it is perfectly legal to download certain movies, completely free of charge. But there are certain steps you can take to make sure you stay on the right side of the law, (contacting the distributor for example), or really; just application of common sense to get you there.

Then there are the issues about enjoyment. A very small minority of illegal movie downloads are of sufficient quality to watch comfortably. Often, you need to squint to see the picture, listen very carefully to the dialogue and, best of all; wait for the person returning from the bathroom to sit down.

Technology has come on amazingly over recent years, and this is certainly the case where movies are concerned. Surround sound, high definition, three dimensional, Blu Ray, are all meant to add to viewing pleasure. You just do not get this added quality with pirated movies; let alone the extra features.

When using an illegal site too, you don't really have any guarantees as to what you are downloading. You could well be introducing a new virus to your computer at the same time. Even on sites up and running for years this happens.

The industry, with the full weight of the Federal authorities are increasingly coming together to fight the problem. And though they will concentrate on the people providing the material, they will also go after those who download them. It is likely anyone in the past year or so that has downloaded something is already listed.

There are now many places where legitimate movie downloads can be found, and this is a trend that is set to continue as the movie makers recognize people like the convenience of this. But people need to understand that a charge will be needed, and the movie will be enjoyable as it will play in the format intended when it was made.

Nobody is denying that movie downloads are the way to go, as people want to control their viewing far easier and suit it to their lifestyles. However, downloading them from illegal sites is simply wrong, should not be encouraged, and the people behind them are truly frightening in many respects.
