Legal movie download sites seem very difficult if not impossible to find online, and I am not surprised that illegal downloads run at about 4 - 5 times the rate of legal downloads. Part of the reason for this is the geographic limitation, whereby movie companies allow online sites to sell legal movies only to specific geographic areas, such as Movielink that is not available outside the USA. You can't even join their affiliate program unless you live in the USA.
I have checked out Google and every site offering iPod movies is a file sharing P2P network site. It is legal as claimed, but only if used to download amateur movies rather than those that most people want to buy. Every single one, even those attached to article directory files from writers claiming to offer totally legal iPod movie downloads, was P2P sites.
So if we can't get what we want legally, what do we do? Remember the Prohibition? We obviously get what we want illegally. Don't get me wrong: file sharing is not illegal and it is not illegal to promote file sharing websites, but it is illegal to use them to download copyright protected movie files. However, as I said, your chances of being caught are almost zilch, and if the big movie companies can't move into the 21st century, then they deserve to lose out. It might not be morally right, but they should provide the alternative rather than complaining.
Nope. I have come to the conclusion that the movie companies spend more time complaining than trying to do something about it. At least you can purchase legal music downloads pretty easily these days, but movies? No chance! Stop complaining and acting like the little kids you prosecute. You are supposed to be the Big Boys of the movie world, yet you cry your eyes out about little high school kids beating you senseless with technology when you can't even make regular movie downloads available for we who are willing to pay for them.
Until that time, I will continue to offer peer-to-peer file sharing software to those that want to use it, and if they use it for illegal purposes that is their choice. I should warn them not to and do, but I certainly can't blame them.
As soon as any legal download facilities become available then I will offer it, as I do the sites that allow you to legally download copyrighted music, such as the new Napster and other similar music sites. The problem is that there are few similar movie sites.
You make your own mind with open source software whether to use it as it is or to go for a better presentation, support and download speed. I made my mind up and know what I prefer, but then I download legal movies.
