How to Find Legal Movie Download Sites
Although many people used to download movies illegally through peer-to-peer file sharing programs that violate copyright laws, there are now several legal movie download businesses. The terms of use, system requirements and selection of titles can vary widely from one business to another, but all operate using similar principles.
To begin, you sign in to the site with your user name and password. The site software then lists the available titles. If a title is available for downloading, a download button appears next to it. You can choose the quality of the download and select a destination for the digital file. You can also rent a movie from these sites, but the rental period is limited to 24 hours and the download will disappear from your device at the end of that time.
Some download sites offer a subscription model, in which you pay monthly to have access to a selection of movies that you can watch offline. These services often have a variety of content, including older films and current releases. Others focus on new releases, and have a smaller library of classics, documentaries and foreign language films.
You can find a wide selection of new and old movies on these sites by searching for specific titles or browsing categories such as Action, Comedy, Classic Cinema, Crime, Sci-Fi and Westerns. Other popular choices include Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, both of which have a vast library of streaming and download content. Amazon Prime Video is particularly notable for its large collection of new and old movies that can be downloaded to your smartphone or tablet.
