Almost everyone I know loves movies. Whether it’s going to the movies with your friends or family, sharing popcorn and enjoying surround sound and the big screen, or just watching a DVD at home and relaxing while watching your favorite movie. Movies are a big part of our modern culture.
Another big part of our modern culture is the Internet. Many of us would not know how to survive with the convenience that the World Wide Web brings us. From communicating with loved ones, customers and associates, to searching for that vital information, to immersing ourselves in the world of online gaming. Internet is a very welcome luxury in our society.
With the high speed internet and technology available today, it is very easy to get your favorite movie in downloadable format. Imagine deciding which movie you wanted to watch, going to your PC and choosing it and being able to watch it almost instantly? Well, that’s certainly possible. Downloadable movies are already available.
The marriage of these two staples of modern society is nothing new, per se, but it is growing enormously and becoming increasingly popular. And of course, I mean the advent of downloadable movies that you can watch right on your PC or Mac, as I mentioned at the beginning of this article. Those same movies we wait in line to see at the multiplex, or do our best to rent them from the local Blockbuster, or wait for them to arrive in the mail via a service like Netflix. These same movies can now be easily viewed on our computer screens!
These downloadable movies also come in many forms. There are paid downloads like the one offered by Vongo, and through memberships with iTunes or Netflix. Then there are even some movies available for free downloads through sites like Watch-Movies, Movies Found Online, or even through networking sites like NBC and ABC Family.
Always providing convenience to its users, the Internet opens up many options. Instead of going out in the rain for that new DVD, or waiting for it to arrive in the mail, we can subscribe for a small fee and watch fairly new movies on some of the paid services, or older, made-for-TV movies. on some of the web sites. As computers become more convenient and cheaper, it is foreseeable that watching movies online, with its relatively low costs, could become the method of choice for many.
And since we are talking about downloadable movies, we also have to mention illegal downloads. There are many, many, many sites that offer movie file sharing torrents for free. These downloads include DVD rips, rips from satellite broadcasts, and even camcorder recordings of newly released or pirated movies, which infringes copyrights. While the courts have been trying to crack down on these illegal sites, with so many it’s hard to track them all down.
However, regardless of how you get your downloadable movies, the point is that watching movies on your computer is the most convenient and fastest way to watch your favorite movie. And if you have surround speakers and a large monitor, what else do you need?
