Hi. I recently visited a friend of mine, who's older brother downloads pornographic movies on his computer. He told me he visits sites that use rapidshare, and he downloads his movies that way. I think it may be illegal since that website has links to download lots of movies, but I'm not sure. It just seems that it may be illegal, because when was the last time you could download so many full movies for free? I'm sorry if I did something against these forum rules, but my brother-in-law said i could use this site to seek help. I really care for my friend a lot, and don't want to see anything happen to his family. [note=BuffaloHELP]Do not post same topic twice.

Ask yourself this: Did you pay for the movie download? Was the movie out for sale? Was the movie listed for rental? Does it have a copyright sign issued by the production company? Is it a mainstream title, i.e. Hollywood, INDI? If you answered any of above question, yes, then yes it is illegal. Use your common sense. I don't mean to come out as plain rude but you should be able to tell what is legal and what is not. If you didn't pay for it and you are getting it for free from method that is against the law, it is just like stealing.

Like Buffalo said if it is taking money away from a company that is selling this item then yes it is illegal. You are taking the money away from people who worked hard to make this movie to entertain you. If they gave it all away for free they would be broke and not even making movies. Sure it is tempting and things are getting more expensive. I almost got Dreamweaver for free and Visual Basic but I knew it was wrong and taking money away from innocent people so I bought it even though I lost a lot of money.

Think of it this way. If you are working in a company, you wouldn't want the company to not pay you do you? If people made a movie costing them millions of dollars, they don't want people to view it for free.

Best File sharing Program with Maximum bandwidth provided by Rapidshare portal. But you need a Premium Account to download without Restriction. No need to worry, there is a tool you can download multiple files as if you have a Premium account without limit. All you need to do is just update the latest proxy.

QUOTE(FeedBacker @ Apr 5 2008, 12:39 AM) [snapback]383162[/snapback] Ilegal is uploading not downloading... I couldn't agree with that, because when you have illegaly uploaded movie on your hard disk, you violate the law. Same as the person who uploaded that movie, right? So my advice is that you don't download anything illegal from rapidshare. Legal is only when the file that is uploaded is freeware or if you have permission to have that file. Everything else is absolutely illegal. That is not rule only for rapidshare, this is also valid for every othe file hoster. Regards.

Of cause--->no. It's a weat b-site that offer premium accounts. And many people do download using limited accounts coming together with different proxies that actually allows to download for free of charge.
