Downloading

<p>My friend was able to download movies that haven't even been released in the theaters yet for free and I was wondering how he was able to do it? If anyone out there knows I'd love to find out.</p>

<p>What he's doing is illegal, so I wouldn't recommend it . . .</p>

<p>torrents...</p>

<p>not so much "free" as stealing them...</p>

<p>When you steal movies you are downloading communism!</p>

Why don't you just ask him...</p>

<p>What do you mean? Talk to a FRIEND? O_o That's unpossible!</p>

<p>Well, he won't tell me, that's why I started the thread.</p>

<p>He uses some sort of filesharing method, likely torrents. Just because he hasn't been caught, though, doesn't make it legal. BitTorrent</a> (protocol) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article will explain anything and everything you need to know about torrents.</p>

<p>not that i use torrents, but cc'ers seem to always be very self-righteous</p>

<p>stuff always leaks, it's almost always possible to get movies/music before the release date.</p>

<p>The mexican guy standing in the corner selling watermelons always knows somebody who knows somebody who can get you the DVD Hi-Def version of a movie that hasn't even been filmed yet. I just bought "Rocky IX" for $5. </p>

<p>Kidding.</p>

<p>Seriously though, there are 3 ways (all illegal, mind you):
- warez forums
- torrents
- p2p filesharing</p>

<p>The thing is, if you're inexperienced enough that you had to ask people how to do it and couldn't figure it out yourself, you will likely screw yourself. </p>

<p>I say there's a 99% chance you will either:
a) Get caught and be forced into a settlement where you pay big money to the MPAA
b) Get virus/spyware on your PC, which will then lead to identity theft
c) both</p>

<p>So do it at your own risk.</p>

<p>bump............</p>

<p>No need to bump this. Everything has been explained, and as people has said, such action is not advisable.</p>

<p>it's torrents ...and not legal...there are SOOO many people doing it..that very few people get caught (not a good reason? eh...anyway, the truth is a lot of people is doing it and don't get caught!)</p>
