Hey, we found this site that really lets you watch new movies online for free. I didn't have to put any of my info in at all. The only thing is that you can only watch one or two a day, then you have to come back to watch something else. I'm sure there is some sort of membership that you can get if you want to watch more than one at a time. One free movie a day will work just fine for us...It's free.

It's stealing.

None of the artists responsible for creating those movies is
receiving anything from that site.

If you want movies and shows for free or little cost:

Library
Netflix (they also have video on demand now)
http://www.hulu.com
http://www.joost.com
http://www.sling.com

Netflix sells their excess copies and you can buy them for a few
dollars. (Used to be on Half.com but maybe Amazon now?)

We found this and many others from MSN that listed 100 great web
sites. You can watch as many movies as you want.

Again, illegal. The article below is a good introduction to these
types of sites. The linked article is more thorough.

Here's a site that's apparently legal:

http://www.modernfeed.com/home/

They link only content the provider has a legal right to show.

While the shows and movies people watch at the illegal sites have had
their artists all paid, the people who make shows can't make money to
provide new shows unless people or advertisers pay for them. Show
your support to the artists and lighting technicians and caterers and
prop managers and writers who are listed (and unlisted) in the
credits who work on these shows need to be paid by buying your
favorite shows or watching on sites supported by advertisers.

People in the entertainment business need to eat and feed their kids
and pay their mortgages like everyone else! The majority are not the
Brad Pitts and Angelina Jolies of Hollywood. Most earn little and
when a job ends have no guarantee another job will ever come their
way again.


OVGuide Indexes Video, Legal Or Not
http://www.appscout.com/2008/04/ovguide_indexes_video_legal_or.php
Monday April 14, 2008

OVGuide.com is a relatively new site that indexes all the video that
it can find on the Web: TV shows, movies, educational programs, you
name it. There are no downloads, with one exception; everything is in
easy-to-use Flash video. (If a site uses Veoh.com to host the
content, Veoh may ask you to download its Veoh TV application, which
also allows you to save the video to the hard drive. Incidentally,
Veoh is a legitimate site that says it takes copyrights seriously,
and was working Friday to remove the pirated videos.)

The kicker is that it also indexes sites that index pirated video,
using a one-step-removed "we just link to it" argument. I flipped the
story on its head for my story on PCMag.com:

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2283141,00.asp

noting that a significant amount of video is archived on servers
hosted by Google and Veoh, both sites that have been accused (and
sued) for harboring pirated video in the past. If you have a
desperate need to check out The Ruins as shot by a crappy camcorder
in a movie theater, feel free.

In general, the site's founders tell me that they attempt to only use
sites that don't embed spyware or any deceptive links in the sites
they index. In practice, McAfee's SiteAdvisor warned me on occasion
that a couple of the indexed sites contained links to other sites
that harbored spyware -- not a direct threat in and of itself, but
watch where you click.
