How To Download Online Free Movies Legally And Avoid Bootleg Movies
Bootleg movies are decreasing fast enough to satisfy the movie industry,and while many online free movies are downloaded legally, many are not. The movie companies are trying to prevent this, but so far all they do is prosecute after the event - and very ineffectively.
It isn't the little guys that are causing all the problems, it's the big guys from Asia who are copying hundreds and even thousands of copies of major blockbusters in rooms banked up full of recording equipment. They then have them professionally printed, sleeved and offered on the open market as genuine originals. You might not expect to see these items on sale in your local mall record store (Oh Ye?), but check out eBay and then let me know which are and are not illegal!
The Legality of Bootleg Movies
The argument continues as to the legality of using peer to peer (P2P) file sharing services to download bootleg movies after the payment of a single lifetime membership fee. Who really cares anymore? Everybody knows the arguments for and against online free movies and bootleg movies, and the music industry has an even worse problem. While it is agreed that people should not download copyrighted material without paying for each DVD, each game or each music track, why is made so easy for them to do so?
It's like a jeweler leaving the door wide open and saying 'Come in look while I am in bed each night, but don't steal the watches and diamond rings. Take what you want and leave the cash in the till.It would seem laughable if anybody tried to do something like that, yet that is exactly the situation movie companies are putting themselves into by making files so easy to download and trusting the general population not to do so. They could put a copy or download block on their files!
I Am Not in Favor of Downloading Bootleg Movies
Let me make it clear right now where my stance is on this matter: I am not in favor of you downloading movies or music free, but neither am I in favor of big corporations with all their resources expecting me to do something about it - even to attempt to close offending websites. Copying copyright material is not legal, and if any movie or music was produced over the past 60 years it is highly likely to be protected by copyright - although some are published directly into the public domain. Then it is free for all.
The music and movie industry are so boiled up about it, that they have persuaded the US government to increase the copyright period to 60 years after a writer's or composers' death. In respect of a movie, it has to be made from 1950 or earlier before you can legally download it without permission or payment. In fact, artists do give permission to use P2P file sharing to download their work free of charge. It gets their name known so that their next 'Big Thing' will hit the ground running - but I digress.
Fortunately for all of us there are several legal movie, games and music download sites that offer legal online free movies and even legal bootleg movies. Some of these are available through large video warehouses, with thousands of legal videos to offer that are legal to download because permission has been given by the copyright owner.
Falling Coconuts
However, there are more online free movies that are no more than bootleg movies, downloaded in spite of copyright and distributed on P2P file sharing networks. Whether you choose to download legal video downloads or illegal bootleg movies, the choice is yours, but you must be prepared for the consequences if you are caught: very few have been, and many believe it to be worth the risk.
I disagree: even though you have as much chance of being killed by a falling coconut than being caught downloading bootleg movies through online free movies download sites, I feel that you stick to the legal downloads - there are many of them although the same software service is used to download both. Incidentally, more people die through coconuts falling on their heads than get killed by sharks each year - so stick that in your pipe and smoke it!
