Tuning Club

Everybody knows that movie downloads are illegal, and yet very few people seem to care. They are easy to find and use, and often you don’t feel as though you’re doing anything wrong. Because there’s so little involved, whether you’re downloading for a party or to entertain yourself late at night, it’s easy to excuse this sort of behavior for yourself.

Don’t panic and think you’re doing anything illegal just because you watch videos on YouTube. This is a far different process, because the owners of the videos post them up willingly for you to watch.

However, major Hollywood films and other movies are owned by the people that make them, and the people who post them online for your use are stealing them from the owners.

Many people make excuses that watching illegally downloaded movies isn’t harming anyone. Sometimes they even convince themselves that while the downloaders might get in trouble, they are safe themselves. However, this is a dangerously incorrect way to think. The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) seriously condemns this practice and tags movie downloaders as “a movie thief whose crimes carry serious legal consequences.”

You might not ever realize the amount of harm you could be doing in downloading movies illegally. For, you, understandably, it’s just a great chance to save some money and get a movie that hasn’t even been released on DVD. But again, these are stolen goods, and getting them online is just as bad as if you went up to someone and bought pirated copies of them on the street.

If all the people who did illegal downloading were caught, prisons would be filled with them and the amount of fines being paid by others would add to a huge amount of money.

Rather discouraging, however, it has done little to raise the concerns of most people, who continue to do what they want.

The fact is, many people just never consider those lowly employees in the movie industry when they download movies. All they know is that they’re getting something they want and that they have very little chance of being discovered doing it. This should be considered justification for this behavior, but unfortunately, in too many cases, it is acceptable.

Though it might be hard, you need to be a better person when it comes to downloading movies, and just stop doing it illegally altogether.

Imagine if you were in their shoes. Knowing how frustrating it would be will hopefully make you more sympathetic.

We often justify our downloads by thinking that all people who work in movies are overpaid, and in some cases, this is true. However, there are also a lot of people involved in film production who don’t make much of everything and need every dollar they can get. When you stop downloading movies illegally, you’ll be giving some things up, but you’ll feel a weight off your shoulders as well.
