I agree.

Anyone know of something where you can pay a little and get dvd quality movies to DL?

And paying to DL a DVD would be ilegal or legal? Cause if you pay a monthly fee for MP3's it is legal to DL right?

You must have provided an incorrect site. I tried going there and it didn't work.

 

[FFactory0x]

torrentsearch.us

I can't believe how people think this is legal, let alone Allofmp3s. Are people at anandtech really this dumb?

 

[BarneyFife]

You'll probably just get a link to download kazaa. I can't believe anyone is even thinking about checking this out. ITS FRAUD.

 

[darkswordsman17]

Yeah, anybody who believes that DL movies or music or games (with few exceptions of course) for free off of the 'net is legal in any way is one ignorant b@st@rd. Why else would Supernova have been shutdown if it wasn't illegal?

No, I'm not being all moral, I'm just stating the obvious for the people who apparently don't understand. And yeah, the original site discussed in the thread is a bigger scam than the free iPod/computer/TV sites.

 

[superHARD]

Anyone care to answer my question?

A Russian friend told me, there are legal download music and movie services in Russia, and they are owned by the goverment. Basically priacy is so bad in Russia, movie and recorder companies get what they can get. The catch is, only people locates in Russia can buy those services.

It is a hearsay, until I actually see it, I will not believe it.

I do know this, you can buy legally licenced CD and DVD in China, very very cheap, although often bad quality. Those are not for export, but you do find Chinese mail order companies ignore regulation selling to outside of China. Legal or not, you'll be the judge.

Excellent detective work - I have referenced the same on my blog and at blogcritics.org

For those of you interested in p2p sharing stuff, notwithstanding the issue of legality, isn't bittorrent the latest in that scheme? Don't know nothing about it, but I remember reading about how this is the next kazaa and e-donkey - supposedly people are using these two less and less because of slow downloads, fake programs, mislabeled stuff, etc.

if you're savvy u know that the newsgroups are where it's at...$15/month from legit places like newshosting.com gives u safe unlimited multi-megabit server access to all the best stuff that's out there and moreover u don't have any of the BS of mass p2p to deal with anymore

Ok look. Regarding legality. It depends on the country you are in. In some countries like canada the courts said its ok to download stuff. In USA its not, although they are only prosecuting uploaders/sharers at the moment. Since anandtech primarily has USA hot deals, most of the readership is probbaly from USA.
If you are in USA: If ANY site claims to have movies to d/l that are still in theatres, its illigal. I dont even know of any LEGAL sites that allow you to watch movies that are out on dvd. Thats with movies. With games, its the same way, if its just a few dollars and unlimited download of latest games that are selling for $50 in stores, its not legal. If its mp3s, if its anything you can buy in the music store, its not legal (unless that specific band allows it). Heck in USA because of the DMCA I dont even know if its still legal to make a backup of copy protected stuff you OWN. And dont even get me started on super DMCA laws that are written so broadly you could say they make routers and firewalls illigal in about 10 states.

Ok now illigality aside. You need to be very careful about doing any of this stuff. MPAA has shut down a bunch of bit torrent sites. They've sent threatening letters to people who have used emule, or bit torrents to share movies and have recently begun to sue. RIAA has sued something like 7,000 people now for sharing (most in kazaa and similar). They've done arrests in some places, USA and some places in europe.
Europe has some things that have passed the EU congress and are in the process of being adopted by member states that allow companies like RIAA and MPAA to raid homes and freeze bank accounts if they think you are "violating" a copy right (I think UK already passed that). FBI has raided people for uncapping modems.

So, I would try and stay far far away from this stuff, especially anything that you "share" stuff with others. Since so far they've mostly gone after sharers.

Remember that 12 year old that was sued by RIAA and her and her single mom had to pay up a couple grand? Well she paid a $30 fee for something or other with kazaa that they thought would make it legal. It didn't.

Blah. All u have to do is be selective in knowing the risks that each form of file sharing poses. Once you know what's going on you'll realize that mass p2p is a mass piece of sh*t and wouldn't be worth using even if there wasn't the oh-so-frightening .1% chance of being caught sharing stuff that u probably wouldn't buy anyway. So you'll stay away from it and you'll learn that there are all-around far better far less riskier alternatives like newsgroups and private topsites, and even DC++ and IRC if u know where to look. Each has their pros and cons, it's simply up to u to discover which is best for u.
