There is a new site, called Movie 88 (http://www.movie88.com) . It's not quite as good as kazaa as far as being 100% free, but you can download many movies for prices like 1 dollar (MAY, probably is, illegal where you live). They have a huge selection, and since, I believe, you can save movies on your computer from the download you possibly could make a video disk/ etc.. Not only that they have entire tv series.. A 50cent cd and 1 dollar download you have a movie.. It appears the movie industry better get a grip on this before it gets out of hand! There is one USA legal site at www.intertainer.com which has many television series avaiable unlimited for 10$ a month, but movies still cost 4 or 5 smackers. Either way you need cable, dsl, or better, intertainer requires you to have a 500kbps download and although most ISPs claim this speed, not all provide it constantly. Either way the technology is coming it will be interesting to see who wins, I believe the music industry it in serious crud and the video industry better do something about this, although personally I say they make enough money.

Well hink of it like this how ghetto is it to give someone a burnt CD...specilly to a girl you like or something..it is cool if they are going to use if for personal use or something but not as a gift tho

Maybe as a gift, but most people dont care how it looks physically, its how it looks on the screen; and how it sounds..

Also, you can't easily "download" the movies, they only let you watch them for a few days, although there is ways to....

It has come to my knowledge that in the last year music has become the easiest to download, but now I find just as many movies/tv shows that its just insane....So they are on a equal level
