New Celebrity Sightings

The Internet is a wild, wild neighborhood where you can find almost anything — including movies on demand.

But take care! Many of those seemingly free movie downloads carry a potentially horrendous price, such as a gigantic fine or even the threat of going to jail.

We’ve all seen video sites where someone has posted a classic Hollywood movie or maybe even the latest blockbuster. Almost always, most of these movies get pulled by the video site when the company that owns the rights to them threatens legal action.

And then there are P2P, file sharing services where movies, songs and other types of files are freely swapped by users from around the globe. Beware of such services! Besides not being sure that that downloaded file isn’t carrying a harmful virus, you risk the anger of the entertainment companies. We’ve all by now heard about people being successfully sued for incredible amounts for copyright violation.

Happily, there are legitimate services now where you can get 100% legal unlimited movie downloads. These services (Movies Capital being the top one) have licenses to distribute movie titles online, both by means of streaming and by direct downloading.

The best of these legal services work like this: You pay a low one-time fee, after which, for a certain period of time (as long as two years!) you may download or stream all of the movies you might want. The movies range across all genres, from horror, science fiction, and action to romantic comedies, musicals, animated films, and all the others.

Using one of these above-board, safe services, you can gain access to full DVD quality movies downloadable from the company’s own servers. No shady PDP file-sharing is involved, nor or we talking about some badly copied video.

But maybe you don’t need unlimited downloads? These particular services also generally offer fantastic budget alternatives for the occasional movie watcher, for example, an inexpensively priced package that allows you 25 or 50 downloads.

Here is one other feature that makes this a tempting deal: With these legitimate services, you’re allowed to burn the movie to a DC/DVD so you can watch it on devices other than your PC. None of that Digital Rights Management (DRM) hassle!

The bottom line is that nowadays you can stream — or even download — movies without risking a fine. Legal movie downloading is the wave of the future — and it’s here today.
