Downloading films and tv

[Emu2005]

I've just found the sound WatchDirect.tv where you can pay $30 and download unlimited films and tv programmes. It seems really good as you can get things when they're released in the US, but is it legal? Seems a bit too good to be true, has anyone used this site before? Thanks :-)

there's nothing like this legally available. Think about it - unlimited downloads of new movies for $30?

That said, thanks for the tip.

No its highly illegal...in fact even talking about it is illegal. Right now the authorities have your address and will soon cart you off to answer to charges of piracy etc

Walk the plank!!!!

this from their home page:

The purchase of a membership is not a license to upload or download copyrighted material.

Afetr that it's yer own business...

Yep - why on Earth would the film/TV companies (not known for their generosity) allow this? So not only is it illegal, but as well as charging people to break the law they are also charging people for the sort of software that is freely available elsewhere.

this website has loads of tv programs and movies to watch for free:
www.tv-links.co.uk
not too sure that its legal but its better than paying to download!
