Online free movies are not declining as fast as the movie industry would like, and bootleg movies are becoming more readily available. The problem is that this is not what the movie moguls want to see, and they are racking their brains as to how they can stop this.
It isn't the little guys that are causing all the problems, it's the big guys from Asia who are copying hundreds and even thousands of copies of major blockbusters in rooms banked up full of recording equipment. They then have them professionally printed, sleeved and offered on the open market as genuine originals. Sure, you may not see these being offered in your local market or record store (oh yeh?), but go to eBay and tell me which are legal and which are not!
The Legality of Bootleg Movies
The argument continues as to the legality of using peer to peer (P2P) file sharing services to download bootleg movies after the payment of a single lifetime membership fee. Who really cares anymore? Everybody knows the arguments for and against online free movies and bootleg movies, and the music industry has an even worse problem. While it is agreed that people should not download copyrighted material without paying for each DVD, each game or each music track, why is made so easy for them to do so?
It's like a jeweler leaving the door wide open and saying 'Come in look while I am in bed each night, but don't steal the watches and diamond rings. Take what you want and leave the cash in the till. How laughable would somebody be if they actually did such a thing, yet that is exactly what the movie and music industries are doing by making such files available for download, but asking us not to. They could put a copy or download block on their files!
I Am Not in Favor of Downloading Bootleg Movies
Let me make it clear right now where my stance is on this matter: I am not in favor of you downloading movies or music free, but neither am I in favor of big corporations with all their resources expecting me to do something about it - even to trying to close websites. It is illegal to download copyright material, and if it was made in the last 60 years it will almost certainly still be under copyright, unless it has been published into the public domain. Then it is free for all.
The music and movie industry are so boiled up about it, that they have persuaded the US government to increase the copyright period to 60 years after a writer's or composers' death. In respect of a movie, it has to be made from 1950 or earlier before you can legally download it without permission or payment. In fact, artists do give permission to use P2P file sharing to download their work free of charge. It gets their name known so that their next 'Big Thing' will hit the ground running - but I digress.
Fortunately for all of us there are several legal movie, games and music download sites that offer legal online free movies and even legal bootleg movies. Some are offered from video storage businesses that have vast numbers of videos that are legal for you to download because the copyright on then has been released.
Falling Coconuts
However, there are more online free movies that are no more than bootleg movies, downloaded in spite of copyright and distributed on P2P file sharing networks. Whichever you use is your choice, but you can choose between the legal video downloads and online free movies they offer, or the bootleg movies and trust to not being caught: very few have been, and many believe it to be worth the risk.
I disagree: even though you have as much chance of being killed by a falling coconut than being caught downloading bootleg movies through online free movies download sites, I feel that you should stick to the legal downloads - there are many of them although the same software service is used to download both. Incidentally, more people die through coconuts falling on their heads than get killed by sharks each year - so stick that in your pipe and smoke it!
