Watch Movies Online

With movie ticket prices being so high these days, its no wonder that more and more people would rather just watch movies online for free. The other advantages of watching movies online are not having to deal with rowdy theater goers and shelling out even more cash for overpriced refreshments. People who make the switch from theatre to home computer find themselves wondering why they didnt start watching movies online a long time ago.

But of course, if you watch movies online there will be disadvantages as well. First of all, watching movies online can be kind of illegal. The ones that arent are usually really old or obscure ones that people dont know about and dont really want to watch. Probably one of the biggest disadvantages is the quality of the picture. Old-school pirated movies involved going into a theatre, secretly recording a movie and then posting it online, but online movies has become a lot more sophisticated since then. Sometimes you can actually find online movies in HD but you dont have the guarantee of a clear picture that you do when you watch it in the theatre.

Its also common to have to watch movies online in parts, this being the youtube generation and all. You might have to load a bunch of videos at once and deal with a bunch of broken links or slow loading times. This can get kind of frustrating, and then you realize that you wouldnt go through all this trouble if you paid but no, youre determined to watch movies online for free so you plod on through the dead links.

The authorities are pretty serious about cracking down on online movie watching. Youtube is much more active in taking down material that violates copyright, and recently a girl did jail time for recording a few minutes of the new Twilight movie accidentally. Online movies means a lot of money lost for the movie industry, like how illegal downloading loses money for the music industry. Its unfair for people to cheat the industry by watching movies for free. From the perspective of people who watch movies online, its more of a Robin Hood mentality. Its actually quite generous for people to post these movies online without charging people to watch them. And why should we have to pay such outrageous prices for the products of a greedy industry that only cares about making money anyway?

Whether watching movies online is ethical or not, the practice will continue regardless, so people who want to watch movies online should be aware of the consequences and make their decision accordingly. Its a trade-off between free service and illegality thats ultimately up to the viewer.
