I remember 5 and even 2 years ago it was pretty difficult to watch movies online. This is enough time wheb sites like Napster were consistently getting sued for allowing individuals to talk about their hard disks with the world on a peer to peer network. Thus, allowing people far away and states to play and swap music that has been not accessible on their own drives. streaming film didn’t find this practice to be beneficial or above regulations so that they stopped the service. Well, this same idea of stopping people from sharing their movies online was stopped also.

The issue was that film and music companies were not getting their share of the money. They were struggling to come to the table and get their piece of the pie. But how was this any not the same as the days when I possibly could tape my local DJ mix and dub it and pass it to my friends back the 80’s. In those days no one complained about music swapping yourself. Or even dubbing movies and giving it to another person. No money swapped. So, what is the problem???

Well, aside from that it appears that some very innovative companies have figured out a method to make the record and film companies happy and in addition line their pockets with money. Companies like iTunes and Amazon.com are actually a few of the leaders of online movie download. Both services charge a fee for individuals to download the movie, music or a TV episode. A portion of that money goes to the business that owns the film or show. But some of the money goes to the distributing company.

These services have already been a god sent blessing to most people that desire to see a movie the day they comes out, and never have to go to the local Walmart to get the DVD. They have made it simple to just choose the movie online, save it on my local computer and watch it whenever I fill fit. This makes it easy to watch the movie online on a computer, on a ipod or import it to a device like a xbox 360 360 watching it on a TV.

But let’s say you don’t need it the movie. Maybe it isn’t worthy of a full purchase price. Well, iTunes and Amazon still have you covered. It is possible to rent the movie and then you’ll have a month to view the movie once within a 24 hour period as soon as you start watching the movie. This is more than enough time and energy to watch the movie many times.
