Why Illegal Film Downloads Are Not Worth Using

By Freddy Stenson

One of the most basic human feelings is trying to profit from whatever you do, which is why there are always big discounts offered in stores to lure in potential customers. It is the same with movie downloads, you will be tempted to get it for free rather than pay and watch it.

However, the free option also comes with a big list of problems and repercussions, which you should be warned about. The sad truth is that even with such strict laws, illegal movie downloads outnumber the legit ones by as much as 5 to 1.

Shockingly, more than six million households in America have downloaded from an illegal movie download sites within the past 60 days alone. Most of these downloads are videos that have adult related content and often, people have used a Peer to Peer (P2P) site to download these movies from.

These sites are often scrupulous and you cannot be assured of any kind of quality from the video that you may be downloading.

What is worse is the fact that you will be sourcing the file from a complete stranger who may send you something different altogether or possibly some corrupted file that is loaded with a virus or a backdoor program to steal your personal information.

Justice is not completely absent, with many offenders who are guilty of downloading movies illegally being brought to task. This is possible thanks to the ability to track anyone on the internet through the Internet Service Provider (ISP), which can pinpoint the exact location of the computer that was used to access the internet.

The forces that bring these felons to justice work smart and only nab the people who download thousands of movies for possibly selling again in the black markets. Since it takes a lot of effort to track and book these individuals, only serious perpetrators are brought to justice and made an example out of.

Many movie studios are now improvising some sort of security in the discs so that the people who download them cannot play it back on their system. This security is not foolproof and many hackers always find a loophole with enough time. With newer technologies, it is not that hard to break security protocols either.

One of the minor downsides of using a legal movie download site is that there tend to be less of a selection of movies available to the end user. With fewer legal movie download sites around, as opposed to the illegal file sharing sites, your choices to find one that can accommodate your needs for price and terms of agreement will be limited as well. However, there are enough legal sites out there, with more popping up everyday that you're sure to find one within the price range that you are willing to pay.

Just like with other illegal activities, free downloading too will grow over time with more people getting access to high speed internet. In fact, many people will learn about the phenomenon and spread it to others, which will consequently keep rising until pretty much everyone is aware of it.

A lot of the legal movie download sites now a days offer free trials. They allow you a certain number of downloads, or a time frame in which to try their services before any payment will be required. - 18423
