Movie Downloads

TheFrog · #1 09-14-2008, 04:22 AM

I would like to download movies Legally but although I've looked all over the web they all seem to be p2p based.
I did sign up for one that to all extents and purposes seemed to be a genuine db of movies, but this also turned out to be p2p (uTorrent) based.

Can anyone point me to a genuine site without me trawling through thousands? What I want is to PAY for any I want to download.

Hi, this site looks ok but dont forget that any transaction over the net can be a risk. As I live in Australia I know of site here that are safe but I have no idea what is in France.

Thanks Monty007 - interesting site and one I'll be taking a close look at.

P2P in itself isn't illegal. In fact it's used by many legitimate movie and music suppliers as an easy way to distribute legally acquired products.

The illegal aspects of it stem from the fact that many people use the system to distribute cracked software, copied movies and illegally ripped CDs.

Don't just dismiss a seemingly legitimate site as illegal because it uses P2P as a means of distribution. In many cases it's perfectly legal.

Even the BBC Iplayer uses P2P!

I think it's the bad press it's had that prejudices our thinking.

Only way I could get the latest, hot-off-the-press, very excellent Open Office at the time was through P2P.

Open Office is available here:

Might not be as fancy as Microsoft's all-pervasive offering, but compatible and, for many users, just as good.

Office 2007 just totally sucks. Typical MS bloatware.

The only time microsoft will make anything that doesn't suck is when they start making vacuum cleaners!
