FREE Movie Downloads? Is there such a thing?

 

FREE Movie Downloads? Is there such a thing?

Author: Nicholas Scott


Simply put.....NO. It is very rare that you get anything for FREE these days. Movie downloads are no exception. Ultimately you will be sold on something. You may be asked to join a newsletter first before you make a purchase, and then may eventually purchase something that interests you from the newsletter. Be sure that the company is reputable. How do you do this? Some simple signs are:

*Company has a privacy statement

*Customer service links are present

*Look for phone numbers if you have a product query or technical question on how to download movies or at the very least have access to customer service email

*Check Alexa.com (click Alexa.com to check rankings. Alexa is run by Amazon.com) for the traffic ranking of the site. All you have to do is type in the web address and view the ranking. If the company is at least below the 2 million mark, then the site gets a fair bit of traffic. Remember, traffic is a great indicator that the merchant is serious and is providing a service that is in demand, and is of quality. Not all companies can be at the top......those who are have serious marketing budgets to get traffic and loads of staff to market the site (and a great big I.T. department) such as Google, MSN, Yahoo, Amazon, CNN, and the like.

*Any affiliations with better business bureaus, and links to other reputable sites (or more commonly know as business partners)

*The site offers payment via all major credit cards AS WELL AS Paypal. PayPal is vastly becoming one of the most preferred methods of payment via the internet as you can use your credit card or funds debited from your own bank account and deposited into your PayPal account to use freely on the net. No fear of credit card fraud here. Goo thing to watch out for!

Movie download sites and their marketing campaigns will get you to click on their ads (paid advertisements) thinking that you will get free movies. The actual movies may be FREE after you have paid the sign up fee. The initial FEE to join a movie download site is charged so you can download the software required to download movies of your choice. Charges range from $20 USD through to $100 USD depending on what you want access to. Once you have paid the fee, then you will usually have UNLIMITED MOVIE DOWNLOAD access for life, or as long as the company is in business.

If you do come across a site offering FREE movie downloads, and they are current movies, then chances are they are pirate copies. You will usually notice that the movie you downloaded is poor quality, not in digital format, and is acquired by someone taking a video camera into a movie theatre and recording the movie. Pay close attention as you may see a flicker or pause in the film that denotes someone hitting the pause button in order to hand the recorder to a friend so they can go to the bathroom. Better still, you may see someone in the theatre get up out of their seat and move across the screen! Not unusual. You may have even been to a cinema and experienced someone in there crouching discreetly so that you do not notice them filming the movie!

If you are looking for physical DVDs to purchase, then do not join one of these sites.

He has little time left to spend his leisure hours watching a Hollywood action film to soothe his nerves. However, through the wonders of modern science, Doe is not deprived of the joys of watching a film despite his busy schedule.

Unlimited movie downloads has made this possible. A mere click of the mouse allows for unlimited movie downloads giving you the opportunity to have unlimited access to the latest movie download software available. It is remarkable in the sense that one is provided with the tools to search and download movies of his or her choice. Unlimited movie downloads usually takes the form of paying a monthly fee.

Unlimited movie downloads have become very popular these days, because it enables individuals to download movies that they wish to see. However, these services on the Internet are not often free. Those that are free should be checked out for legitimacy (bootlegs are both illegal and of lower file quality than approved releases). And as with anything else you download, make sure you scan the file for viruses before downloading.

In the United States, this mode of downloading movies has gained immense popularity. An entire movie (like the mystical thriller Harry Potter), can be downloaded in minutes. Any movie can be downloaded without any time limits, bandwidth limitsFeature Articles, or content limits. This is an important aspect of unlimited movie download programs.

Free Legal Music Downloads For iPods

eMusic is a major player in the iPod music downloads business. They are one of the pioneers and rank second only to iTunes. They have a diverse catalogue of primarily independent music labels. All their music is in MP3 format and works on any platform. They also have very extensive editorial content, archived shows and events.

eMusic’s Advantages

One of their greatest advantages is all their music downloads are in MP3 format and DRM free! That means, unlike Apple.com iTunes, Yahoo Music and so many others, you not only own your music, but it continues to play when you discontinue your membership with eMusic. And you can play your tunes on any portable PDA or your computer.

The sad fact about copy protecting music with DRM is the version varies from one company to the next. For instance, you can only play your DRM protected iTunes on your iPod, iPhone or your desktop with the iTunes player installed.

According to The New York Times:

“A major difference between eMusic's service and other online music stores is that the tracks are delivered in the unprotected MP3 format, which means… that the songs will play on all portable music players, including the Apple iPod®”
Another advantage of eMusic is the music is totally legal to download, unlike the prevalent P2P file sharing sites. Don’t get me wrong, many of the top unlimited music download sites are definitely legal, to a certain respect.

One of the things I really like about eMusic is they let you download 25 songs free before you have to pay the minimum $9.99 per month for 30 songs. So the 25 free ones is almost like a month’s worth of downloads for nothing.Not to mention the 33 cents per song blows away MSN and iTunes 99 cents per song. And it’s even less with the other levels with 50 and 75 songs per month at $14.99 and $19.99 respectively!

One slight disadvantage with eMusic is although they offer millions of music tracks; they’re primarily "indie" or independent artists. But, all their music is legitimately licensed from independent record labels so you don’t have to be concerned about downloading illegal files.

They do have some major labels like Johnny Cash, The White Stripes, The Prodigy and Mobi. And they’re continually increasing them regularly as the DRM free movement is spreading. America is behind the Europeans in that regard.

eMusic’s Interface

So like I mentioned, eMusic only has MP3s, encoded at a variable bit rate (VBR). So you won’t have a problem transferring your tunes to your iPod, your CD burner or any portable player. All the tunes are accessed through your Web browser or with the free Download Manager.

One note of caution is if you download from your Web browser you’ll need to disable eMusic’s Download Manager from your account preferences. Then you’ll have to change the file extensions to .mp3 because the file will be downloaded with an unknown file extension. That’s easy to do, just right click the file and choose “Rename” and change the extension to mp3.

Summary

On the eMusic site, you can search for tunes by the artist’s name, album, track, label, or composer. Their 12 genres include Alternative, Punk, Country, Folk, Electronic and Jazz. As previously mentioned, the bulk of their tunes are from independent artists but you’ll find quite a few from the major record labels.

They have around 2.8 million high quality MP3 files from over 13,00 independent music labels. And you won’t find a lot of them on competing download sites or music stores.

eMusic’s online interface is ridiculously easy to use. It allows you to download entire albums at a time. There is a review section and a star rating for each file. Their FAQs are well written and they respond very quickly to emails for support.

They offer a 2 week trial allowing you to download 25 tunes for starters before you have to pay the tiny monthly fee. One tip though when you start your membership, is to be sure you download ALL your allotted songs for the month because you can’t carry them over to the next month!
