Most people revel in the simple truth that to have the music you crave, the books you long to read, and the movies you want to watch it's no longer necessary to leave the home. Many families have access to the most state of the art home theater systems that allow for an experience as good as a theater without all of the inconveniences of text message, loud talking and eating. Our entertainments can be insular and on our own terms.
Downloading music on iTunes or books onto a Kindle has made the notion of downloading entertainment mass market. To assume that being able to download a movie is the the next logical step. The notion, however, has always been fraught with thoughts of legality, that perhaps whatever is downloaded is nothing but a bootleg copy that will put a computer at risk and get you into trouble.
These fears were true in the beginning. It took time for the massive file sizes inherent in movies were streamlined as they are today, and the original online movies were nothing more than the most basic bootlegged versions trafficking in both entertainment and copyright infringement.
The danger of copyright infringement is that if the government wanted to crack down on a website, most likely, you IP address which is recorded at every visit will be offered up along with all of the other addresses as a way for the site's owner to not be prosecuted as harshly.
Does this scenario ever happened? Yes, not with movies. The rampant file-sharing of music has resulted in the music industry cracking down on individual customers by instigating large fines instead of bringing arbitration into the mix. With all of this experience in terms of music, it's logical to assume that movie downloading customers will be the next target.
Using the internet to download anything is potentially full of risks, especially with websites advertising free-to-you movie downloads. The reason that a site wouldn't charge you anything for a particular service is that they want to actually take something from you; in this case it's the insertion of adware and spyware into your computer.
Adware is more annoying than anything else and fills your computer with pop-up advertisements on the thought that you will eventually click on and purchase something that you've seen. This can slow down the performance of computer tremendously. Spyware has a more nefarious purpose and does exactly what is implied, it spies on you through the computer. It can register the keys that you type in when accessing something like your bank account. To say that your identity can be stolen is not an intellectual leap.
Make sure to go to websites that charge you - money means protection. Like Napster, many one-time fee sites will give you unlimited access and with having to pay, you will most likely have virus protection that will stop you from inadvertently downloading software like spyware and adware.
In the end, you can get what you want when you want it in regards to movie downloads. Just steer clear of sites that seem to promise way too much without having anything concrete to back it up. The internet is full of scammers and legitimate businesses and it only takes a small amount of homework on your part to do it right. - 40726
