Yes, You Can Legally Download Movies

By Craig Boyer

By now, everyone has heard news stories about someone who has got in trouble for downloading copyrighted material illegally. Such things have made many people afraid to download anything online. The good news, though, is that there are businesses that allow you to download movies and they are perfectly safe and legal.

Obtaining movies this way is not free, but you do get a lot for the money you have to invest. Most of their fees are actually cheaper than what you would spend to watch a movie in the theater. A lot of them are even lower than the price you would pay to buy a DVD.

If you search online, you will find quite a few places that offer a movie download service. Some place charge per-movie. Many offer to let you rent a movie for a low rate, or you can choose to pay a higher amount and buy the movie.

When you rent it, you can only download and watch it once. Then the file becomes unusable. If you purchase the movie, you can watch it an unlimited number of times. The rental option is great if you do not have a lot of money or are not sure if you will like a certain movie. Some place even let you burn it to DVD, so you have a back-up copy.

Other options include websites that do not charge for each, individual movie. These ones have membership fees. Generally, you pick the level of membership you want and then can download a set number of movies per month. There are also some with yearly memberships, in case you are a less frequent viewer.

Unlike traditional movie stores, these services also have no space constraints. That means they have a very large selection of movies to pick from. The only thing they deal with is a digital file and this does not take up a large amount of room. Without overhead costs, they can also offer much lower prices.

If you use these services, you also never have to worry about late fees. You no longer have to worry about running last nights DVD back to the store, before a certain time. Your fee has already been paid and there will be no other surprise charges showing up. Anyone that has ever returned a movie late knows how quickly those fees can add up.

On the off chance that you downloaded something you did not enjoy, the money you have waste is minimal. It only cost you a small fraction of what it would if you had bought the DVD. You can, also, easily delete the file from your computer.

From old classics to the latest Hollywood Blockbuster, these services have it all. Their sites are easy to navigate and search. In most cases, you can look for a title, director, actor or specific genre. You can very easily find whatever you are in the mood to watch.

There is no need to fear becoming a law-breaker, just to enjoy great movie downloads. Just sign up with one of these services that offers the films you would like to see. Right from the comfort of your own home, you can enjoy all of them! - 40726
