safe legit sight to download movies from
« on: May 01, 2015, 02:20:18 PM »
 I don't want to join a monthly payment type movie download provider like netflix etc. but rather a pay-per-movie provider. Any suggestions for a provider I can trust with my debit card info etc.?

You mean copyrighted movies.  :-X
Are you serious? Have  you note read the news about copyright crackdown?
Why not just ask "What is a safe way to rob bank"?

To date, the only sites that stay online do one of two things:
1. Charge some kind of fee to the user, which helps buy permission.
2. Somehow get advertisers to help pay for the costs.

Even the allegedly "free" sites are in some way getting income. Running a broadband server costs money. Every day. And using Copyright material brings legal problems. You either pay the movie studios or pay the Nattiness. (Om sp,e copuntires yhu might bribe someone to look away.)

The story  below may seem rather unlikely. But it could happen to you.

Another legal issue. The F.B.I. can not legally hand out fines. They can arrest me, but I would need to then go before a judge, and only after being convicted would I be punished. If the F.B.I. demanded money for an alleged crime then that would be called a bribe and what they would be doing is extortion. Also, the F.B.I. would never alert a criminal that they knew he had evidence prior to an arrest.
Yes, that was a hoax.  But there is something to learn. The people who send out such hoaxes believe they will never be caught e becomes theyare doing something harmless. Just like some  think the watching pirated movies is harmless. In both cases harm is being one.

Some TV networks do offer free viewing of past episodes of popular sees. But your question was about movies. And yes, there are a few places where some movies are available  with no cost to the viewer.

Geek...i believe he was inquiring about legit good sites...
Thanks patio. Yes I am. I'm gladly willing to pay for the download provided the price is reasonable, and the site is legitimate so I don't have to worry about my debit card information being compromised. Sites like Netflix charge a monthly fee for downloads which is not what I want. I have a short list of movies that I want to watch, and then save to my hard drive for future viewing. I may not download any other movies for several months, therefore I don't want to be paying a re-occuring monthly membership fee for nothing during that time.
 I am aware of the fact that inquiring about commiting illegal copyright theft on this forum is against the rules, and that is certainly not my intention.  :)   
 That said... Any suggestions for a good movie source?

The free movie sites usually don't have a selection of specific movies that I am looking for.

I beg your  pardon. I spoke in hast.
The sites that offer free movies have a limited seslection.
http://www.digitaltrends.com/web/where-to-watch-free-movies-online/
These you already know:
  Amazon
  Crackle
  Hulu
  YouTube
Lessor known are:
  Open Culture
  TopDocumentaryFilms
  SnagFilms
  Vimeo

However, you want downloads. Most now is for streaming only, not downloads.
This link claims to have paid download  information. I have not verified it.
http://movie-download-websites.no1reviews.com/

I did know of a site that allows limited downloads and charges by the month. But you can cancel at any time. If  you have good broadband, buy a premium account are download a bunch of stuff and then cancel your subscription, If you want.
Lessor know pay for site with movie downloads.
Last time I looked they had thousands of titles, including some of the most popular.
But read it over very carefully. The quality of the materiel varies and you get charged for the bandwidth used. And some of the stuff is real bottom of the boat.  ;D

EDIT: Some free movies are clips or shorts. Like these:

    Public domain movies are free to download.  Most are old, but some are very good.

    There are public domain movies available at archive.org

      You can try Vudo and Youtube where you can buy and rent movies and watch them whenever you want. Vudo is a wallmart venture that deals with movie and TV shows. For free movies you can try Tubitv, snagfilms, and popcornflix.
