*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Legal movie downloads are available from websites that offer movies from a large DVD database, each of which have been pre-approved for downloading. The normal file sharing problems of illegal movie downloads are avoided, and you get your choice of a large number of popular movies to download and watch at your leisure.

Although file sharing is not illegal per se, and file sharing software is still available online, the major problem associated with it is connected with those people that use it to download copyright movies, music and computer games, and it then becomes illegal. The music and movie companies have prosecuted individuals who have been found doing this, are in the process of coming to arrangements with web hosting services to withdraw the service from those that have been proved to be promoting such software on their websites.

It is unlikely that this will have much success, because it is likely that any hosting service that agrees to this will be spelling the end of their business. Not because of those promoting that kind of software, but because they would be seen to be breaching the confidentiality of their clients in determining the use to which they are putting their websites, and bending to pressure from powerful organizations in how they deal with their own customers. It would be tantamount to a breach of confidence, and that is something precious to webmasters.

However, there is no longer the need to use file sharing services illegally, and using video banks offering videos pre-approved by the movie companies themselves is not the only way in which you can legally download movies. There is at least one service that offers legal movie downloads of films in the public domain. These are movies for which the copyright has lapsed, and that can therefore be shared freely between people without breaking any copyright, because there is not copyright.

It is in ways such as this that file sharing services can be used legally, and something that not only the movie companies should be looking at as a model, but also of which that governments should be aware. Rather than bow down to pressure from large corporations, governments should be working within the law and, certainly while continuing to bring the power of the law on those that breach copyright laws, should also accept that file sharing itself is not illegal and that there are many useful uses to which the software can be put.

In fact, it is debatable whether any government has a law in place to force the closedown of any website offering file sharing software that is being used to offer legal movie downloads. It would be more appropriate for them to insist that the DVD and movies corporations develop the technology that can protect their files from being copied or downloaded, just as the music industry can do right now.

There are many files online that are impossible to download using file sharing software, and that should be extended to all copyright material, rather than pass laws to make the process illegal. Were that to happen, then many businesses using this technology perfectly legally would be out of business. It is possible to avoid file sharing problems and offer legal movie downloads that do not breach any laws.

Legal movie downloads are available online, and some are even being offered by reputable businesses such as Clickbank. That affiliate business has removed the software that they believe to be illegal, and what is left can avoid file sharing problems in offering legal movie downloads that involve either public domain films or those that have been approved for public downloading from membership sites.
