Your Questions About Movie Download Sites Legal

admin answers:

Ignorance of the law is not a defense. Anyone over the age of 14 with any sense knows that downloading movies from file sharing sites are usually illegal. You will likely be asked to pay a penalty (usually around $500 per illegal download) or face further legal action (which could equate to thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars in fines).

Can’t really hazard even a guess without knowing more details however:

Questions without answers get removed after 4 days (or 8 if you extended it the one time allowed). Questions without answers are not useful for the site, so they are removed. You don’t lose any points.
If you received a violation notice although some times you don’t : This may help you avoid future violations. All it takes is 2 “trusted” members to report you and the bots remove it appeals are often a waste of time and points. However if you are very sure you have been wronged by all means appeal it, the link is below. Some suggestions, If you haven’t done so, edit you info so your questions and answers are hidden that way it makes it harder for trolls who enjoy reporting violations or presumed violations to stalk you. Also, avoid pages with controversial subjects such as religion, homosexuality, racism, pornography, any hatred, downloading movies or music, questions about drugs even soft drugs, etc. Even the polls section. Avoid anything that may be remotely considered illegal Don’t give smart, flip or sarcastic answers nor use any profanity. Do not use language you wouldn’t use when talking to your grandmother and that should keep you safe in that regard. Referring others as a moron, stupid idiot Nazi, retard or anything in that vein is derogatory and insulting to other members and clearly against the guidelines. Pay attention to the definitions of “chatting and solicitation , and what constitutes a question” Never insult another member, call them names, threaten, harass deliberately mislead or post anything in questionable taste.
Should you have axe to grind, agenda or cause to promote be it political religious social or anything similar, no matter how well intentioned you may be, this is the wrong place to promote it.
If you believe you are being stalked go to other categories. You might also consider changing your avatar and i.d.

If your posts show any semblance or insinuation of bigotry, hatred, sermonizing or ranting you can pretty much assume they will be reported and deleted.

Yahoo will not give any specifics when a question or answer is deleted.

You might take the test to determine if something is reportable.

First, what you are talking about doing is considered illegal and copyright infringement.

There are tools out there that can be used to do this though. DVDFab decrypter and DVDShrink are useful in creating backups of the DVDs you own, while there are torrent sites and others like them that can be combined with other freeware to create DVD player-readable content, but if I were you, I’d just buy the actual movies to protect yourself from possible legal trouble.

Free music is a thing of the past. Initially, sites like Napster and Win/MX took advantage of a lack of legal guidance for online file sharing, but that door is closed. In fact, the courts have found in favor of record labels who sue individuals for downloading and sharing illegal music files over the internet. The only “free” way to get music for your iPod is to rip it from a CD. If a friend of yours would like to buy the CD and let you rip it to your iPod, that’s your business, but it is still illegal. ITunes is a great resource for music, movies, and other media content, and it’s not that expensive. I think it should be cheaper than it is, since your not getting any of the packaging, liner notes, or physical ownership of a disk, but for online music sites, it’s still the cream of the crop. You can probably still find a source for illegal music downloads if you are willing to put the effort into finding a site, but most have been shut down as a result of legal entanglements.

If you can afford the iPod, you can afford to purchase music for it the legal way. At the very minimum, you can copy your existing CD collection to the device.

Most, if not all, torrent search sites will show the files that will be downloaded through the torrent in their listing. It is a good habit to check those as they come in a variety of formats. Also, good to only download those that have comments or ratings indicating they are clean and real.

Most of the video downloads in bittorrent are in an avi container encoded with either DivX or XviD. Most of the music downloads are MP3. Most are not compressed in rar.
