With the advent of the internet and mobile telephony you may no longer go out to rent or buy a DVD, as you are only a click away to view and download your favorite videos and multimedia files these days. There are a few legal sites offering short movies, free full length movies and TV soaps as well as documentary films at no charge.
Legal sites offer videos that are offered by the owner of the multimedia with a one-off fee or for charity. Internet search engines are full of legal sites that offer free legal videos for streaming as well as downloading. Illegal sites are blocked by your antivirus if you customize the antivirus's settings at installation time. Illegal videos and film distribution is a crime and sites promoting these have been severely punished for violating copyright acts.
