Download Movies Legally? No Way!

I recently bought a Mac Mini on Ebay and hooked it up to my home television. Of course, after getting everything set up and networked and all that fun stuff, I started looking at options for downloading movies legally. If anyone out there is in the middle of this process now, let me save you some time. There is nothing good out there. The services that have a good selection have high prices and the ones that have reasonable prices have a poor selection. That’s the bottom line.

Why would I pay $10-$25 for a download that’s not even DVD quality when I can get the same thing on DVD for much less? I know that it doesn’t cost more to facilitate a download than it does to print package and ship a DVD. So what gives? Hollywood desperately needs to rethink it’s online distribution strategy. They’ve made it difficult and expensive to do it legally so people are going to do it illegally. If you’re not convinced, check out this article on PC Magazine’s web site. It goes into more detail.

I found that if one has a dvd recorder off brand you can copy movies. I had one and it went bad so I purchased another , a name brand and it will not copy. But you can copy any moive still to your VHS. I have a dvd copy program I can make a copy on my computer of any movie...... Linda
