There was a time long ago when if you wanted to see movies
you had to go to the theater.
If you could not afford or did not have the time to go to
the theater, you had to wait until the movie you wanted to see came on local
television. Finally, the opportunity came to rent or purchase VHS cassettes and
later DVDs or Blu-ray from your local store. However, you still had to wait
months after the movie was released at the theater before you could watch it at
home.
Over the years, technology has been improving at an
astounding rate. Now a day, if you can do it, you can do it online,
respectively. The Internet has really changed the way people all around the
world watch movies. You are no longer limited to the movies that are released
in your region, or even in your own language for that matter. In addition, you
are no longer restricted to either a crowded movie theater or your home
television set to watch your favorite movies. It is now possible to watch
movies anywhere.
First, you need to know where to find the movies you want to
watch. When you begin your search, you will be bombarded with "free"
movie download sites. It really is free to download movies from these sites,
but you will also get spyware, adware, viruses, etc. installed on your
computer.
Now, that may not bother you. You may think that as long as
it is free and your virus protection software is running, you do not mind the
occasional ad or spy on your computer. It may bother you, however, that the
practice of downloading and sharing copyrighted files over the Internet is
illegal and you could face a hefty fine, or even jail time.
When you are looking for movies to watch and download
online, search for the legal movie download sites. These sites typically
require you to pay a one-time fee to download unlimited movies, a per-download
fee or a monthly subscription. You do not have to worry about paying fines or
going to jail, because the sites have gone to the trouble to make their
downloads available to you legally. The selection on legal sites may not be as
large as on the free P2P sites, but the quality is better and the films are fully
licensed and legal to download.
Once you have found a legal movie download site that you can
trust, you are ready to begin. Search the database of available movies to find
the one that you want to watch. If you do not have time to watch the movie immediately
streaming online, then you will need to download it directly to your hard
drive. As long as you get your downloads from a legal site, you do not have to
worry about bandwidth or time restrictions and slow download speeds. The movie
you want will download quick and easy.
Once the movie you want is downloaded to your hard drive,
you are ready to go. All you need is a DVD burner, you can create your own
legal DVD movies to watch anywhere, and anytime you choose.
