If you have a fast internet connection at home, in school or where ever, I would assume that you have tried watching online movies on the internet.
There are a lot of site that provide free links to internet users. The question is, do you think it is a crime to take advantage of it or watch these films without paying royalties or some kind of fees.
I think it is because the film industry looses reveue if we get to watch them for free. However since it is there for us to take advantage of, why not watch better yet download them

i think that people are avoiding his question on purpose. people are trying to be funny because they think that he is wrong for asking to view free movies. no he is not, if they are providing them for free online. the only thing is that you can not copy them, or sell them. i think what the man was looking for is link to sites where you can watch movies online for free.

Yea,I do agree on some degree.Coz nowadays,most online movies provides didn't get the approval from the movie companies,I should say it's pretty normal due to the huge amount for the copy right~lol.That maybe one of the reason I few watch movies online,as well I get so many original DVDs on hand,quality ones~`no need online movies~`lol

No. I have a netflix account. It allows you to watch movies online. It is a nice feature. There are other services available that allow you to pay a small monthly fee. And it is less than the cost of 2 people going to a movie. Why not?

No, I never thought of it in this way. If the sites allow it to be free, then it is free. If we were supposed to pay for it, then they should ask for money upfront, but they don't. So, no, it is not a crime. Not unless they are restricted from allowing sites to publish movies online for free. In this case, it is the filmer's fault, not the user..
