Legal Free Movie Downloads

When you see the word ‘free’ in relation to free movie downloads, they are not free. Only in very exceptional circumstances will you get anything free. The term ‘free’ in, for example, ‘free movie downloads’ often refers to the fact that you are dealing with a p2p (peer-to-peer) or file sharing program.

While the movie downloads are indeed free, you have to pay a subscription for the service. However, while P2P file sharing is not itself illegal, it is illegal to download copyright-protected movies, music or games, which most of them are.

Here is an example of such a site, where for a single once-only registration payment, you can download as many movies free of further charge for as long as you like:

The Movie Downloads

You must make sure that you download only movies that are protected by copyright: you will likely find some modern blockbusters on this site, but you are advised to leave such free movie downloads alone.

My own feelings on this matter are stated elsewhere on this site, but Clickbank have cleared all such sites from their Marketplace. However, there are one or two legal sites that allow you to download movies online from video, as opposed to a P2 file sharing network.

Clickback offers at least one these legal sites, Movies Capital, which is offered below. You can have an unlimited numnber of free movie downloads from this site as you wish for one two-year membership fee.

The availability of movies on the internet is not new. They have been available through online rentals for a long time. However, downloading movies is a relatively new option, and there have recently been a plethora of adverts for ‘free movie downloads’ appearing on the internet.

This is due to the availability of cable and DSL fast broadband internet connections and development of efficient file compression codecs. Prior to this it would take over 24 hours to download a movie, and quality was generally poor. There is a massive speed difference between the 56 kilobits per second of the old dial up modems and the 3.5 megabits per second of the average DSL connection. In fact 24 mbps connections are now becoming available.

As previously mentioned, these are generally p2p programs. In answer to the file share problem, some film companies have decided to make movies available for downloading. You pay for this, of course, so they are not free movie downloads and most of these must be viewed within 24 hours. After that the file becomes inoperative. Additionally, the movies released by the film companies tend to be either old or poor quality new releases.

Movies Capital, hoqwever, enables you to download from a vast range of movies completely legally. All titles are fully licensed.

You can play them on your computer or TV using full 5.1 sound, The two year membership payment offers you unlimited downloads. Check it out here:

Strictly speaking, the downloading of copyright-protected movies using file sharing software is illegal, and the days of free movie downloads are numbered. You can still download movies as a member of a P2P network,such as that at the beginning of this page, and then only after payment of a lifetime membership, but sites such as Lightspeed Movies and Movie City have already closed down.

An increasing number people are turning to online video rental which offers the followinbg advantages:

1. Up-to-date movies as soon as the videos are released. 2. A very large selection - much larger than offline store. 3. Videos can be returned at any time - no late fees for returning them after the alloted date since there is no date limit. You can keep them as long as you like. 4. No limit to the number of rentals you can have in any one month: limited onlhy by how rapidly the postal system operates. 5. Free post for return of videos.
