Having looked at many movie download websites, I found that worryingly, many are not legal. Be very wary of websites that offer file sharing networks. These sites will have amazing graphics and appear to be legal but unfortunately these peer to peer networks are not able to guarantee a legal movie download. Make sure the site is backed by major movie studios, such as MGM or 20th Century Fox.
There are many excellent legal download websites out there including Tiscali movie downloads, Apple downloads, Cinemanow downloads, Movieflix downloads, EZTakes downloads and Divxmovies downloads.
For those of you who are still not sure why you should use a legal site to download your movies then here are 6 reasons for doing so:
1. Film quality will be massively better than a bootleg movie
2. There is nothing worse than watching an illegal bootleg movie where someone sneaked in their video recorder. Imagine the thrill of squinting your eyes and trying to figure out what the fuzzy dark figures are doing.
3. If you get caught illegally downloading then you can face imprisonment
4. A good movie download site will have cutting edge technology. The viewing will be very close to watching a DVD on your TV. Again this is where major movie studios, backing the site will ensure good quality.
5. Downloading legally will keep you safe from the law. Many people think that they can get away with an illegal movie download. Maybe for a while they can get away with it, but remember that a person can be tracked right back to their internet service provider address. Imagine getting caught and being charged a stiff penalty. Is it really worth taking the chance?
6. Piracy raises the cost of legal downloads. If you support legal movie downloading then you will be a part of the solution and not the problem. Would you want to see legal movie downloads go up in price?
Many believe that Vizumi are going to be the market leaders in movie download services. They are backed by Arts Alliance Media (AAM), based in London, and are Europe's leading provider of digital film distribution services, dedicated to building a European digital network to deliver film to the cinema, to the home and between industry players.
Providing both movie downloads to rent and movie downloads to own, AAM provides ISPs, media companies and e-tailers with turn key solutions for acquiring rights and securely distributing digital video content over the internet to their audiences, powered by the Vizumi Network. Arts Alliance Media has digital distribution deals with Fox, Sony, Universal, Warner Bros., Momentum, Icon, Fremantle, Tartan, Discovery Networks, and Revolver Entertainment, amongst others, and powers downloads on partner sites including Empire movie downloads and Tiscali movie downloads.
Apple and Cinema Now will also be hot on Vizumi's heels and with Wal-Mart movie downloads abruptly closing down its services earlier this month. 2008 will see inevitably see the battle turn to war to lead the market in movie downloads. The total European movie download market is estimated to be worth $516 million by 2012, up from $25 million in 2007 so it is becoming big business. The Wal-Mart video download store died in its sleep earler this month after Hewlett Packard pulled the plug on the technology that powered the store opening the doors for more competition.
However, the price of a movie download needs to be reduced slightly in order to attract those users who use illegal movie downloads at no cost. At the same time, the more people who use legal download websites, the more competition will increase leading to download prices dropping. Using websites such as Vizumi, AOL, Empire etc is protecting the consumer. These sites are 100% legal and safe.
If you get caught downloading via an illegal file sharing website such as Limewire then you could face imprisonment. Personally, I wont take this risk for the sake of saving a few £££ and now use legal movie download websites.
The more of us who do this, the more chance of price reductions and putting a stop to illegal downloads.
