We live in a world of on-demand satisfaction. To an extent, whatever you want, you can get and with home theaters becoming a social staple for families, the ability to download a movie that you want at the moment you want to see it is seductive.
Whether it is done illegally through file-sharing software or legally, as with downloading a book into your Kindle, there's an increasing market for downloading the movies you want straight into your hard drive. Many people are still skeptical, worried that any movies they watch will be bootleg copies, or somehow their computers will be at risk from the act of downloading.
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.
If a government agency wanted to crack down on sites that gave out free movie downloads, almost all web site owners would have no issue in handing over the list of IP addresses that had used the site in exchange for leniency.
Does this happen? Not yet. But the music industry has cracked down on illegal file sharing, levying steep fines to people across the country in exchange for not prosecuting them in court. It goes to say that logically, file sharing movies is the next step. In fact, a case is under review currently of a man who'd downloaded an unreleased film.
That doesn't mean that abstaining from any movie downloading websites is the way to go. There are still many sites that are both safe and legal. What to watch out for are any websites that promise you everything for nothing. These sites usually peddle in spyware and adware.
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.
Trafficking on sites that charge you a fee for being able to download movies is the better and safer bet. Like Napster, the music file sharing site, a flat fee of $35 will usually get you unlimited downloads. These pay-for sites are also usually equipped with free virus protection that will keep you safe from malicious software.
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.
