Why Illegal Film Downloads Are Not Worth Using

By Freddy Stenson

Even though choosing legal movie downloads will cost you a few bucks, choosing illegal or unlicensed movie downloads could end up costing you a heck of a lot more in fines and court costs.

The reason for the overwhelming popularity of illegal movie downloads lies in the fact that people always prefer getting things for free rather than paying for it. Despite the possibilities of breaking laws and violating norms, illegal movie downloads outnumber legal ones by as much as 5 to 1.

In the United States alone, over six million households' downloaded movies from an illegal movie download website in the past 2 to 3 months. Unsurprisingly, most of the videos that were downloaded had adult content in them and they were usually sourced from a Peer to Peer (P2P) website.

The problem with such websites is that you cannot rely on the quality of content that you are downloading and it is usually from another person's computer, which might not always be a good thing.

This type allows for those that will be regular users to download and unlimited number of movies for a set monthly price. This will allow them to get the maximum number of downloads at the lowest price possible per selection. The other is where you can pay for each individual movie that you download. You'll pay a little more per movie, so this method is best suited for the occasional users.

It is heartening to note that offenders are brought to justice every now and then and not everyone gets away scot free with the crime. Thanks to technology, you can now identify the exact person who downloaded the movie by tracking his Internet Service Provider (ISP) and using their help to find out the computer's location.

However, the agencies that track these offenders will not catch just about anyone due to the complication of the entire process. Often times, the will track a person who is downloading thousands of movies and reselling them in the market, trying to make an example out of them and hopefully preventing people from doing the same thing at their homes.

However, the problem has been attempted to be solved right at the source with many movie studios trying to encrypt the movie discs and restricting their playback to only limited players. Nevertheless, this is merely a road hump for the movie pirates who continue to break codes and redistribute the movie on illegally burned discs.

It is the same phenomenon that happened with music, when people rushed to download music when it first surfaced in a similar fashion. The first few illegal music sites have all gone bankrupt with newer ones replacing them and the rampant piracy continues to date.

The popularity of the illegal movie downloads will continue with time, and many people will succumb to it, rather than paying and procuring a legal version of the movie. As the movie studios continue devising new techniques to curb piracy, the pirates will also devise new methods to overcome these blocks and ensure that they continue doing what they are doing now.

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. - 18780
