During the past 20 years a typical movie watcher's experience has evolved far beyond the old days of VHS tapes, to high quality DVD movies, to digital downloads. Today, a large percentage of movie enthusiasts still use VCR players to watch movies but the majority of tech savvy computer users are now downloading movies from membership websites.

One of the first questions to pop into your mind when you hear of the word free is: are these movies really free? Or is there a catch? There are free if you join one of the totally free sites online that offer low quality movie files, but unlimited quality downloads come wit a small monthly fee.

Now, for he first time in history, you can access a vast database of millions of movie titles through an internet connection and have any movie you want in mere minutes by just paying one small monthly fee. The small fee is worth it for all the reasons in this article.

You may be thinking why pay when I can join one of the free websites popping up all across the internet? First, the free sites are usually not moderated. This means you may be downloading unlicensed copies of movies. Secondly, the files you download most often are corrupt containing harmful computer viruses and poor quality movies.

The service that you will receive from legal movie sites is above that of free websites. The movies themselves are of the highest digital quality compatible with the same quality you would expect to get on a new DVD disk and they are free of malicious spyware. This alone is a huge benefit.

Paid membership websites offer high quality digital movie files that are free of viruses and worms. The file types are compatible with the same digital quality you will find when a new movie disk from a retail store. If you download a movie from one of the free sites you will never know what you are getting until it is too late.

If you like having access to unlimited movie titles, you will be pleased to know that paid sites are not only legal but they have a gigantic database of millions of selections to choose from. You will find the latest new releases as well as old classics and vintage movie titles too.

Selecting a membership site for your choice of movie downloads is an important part of the process. You want to make sure the service provider operates legally and has a great reputation. More importantly, you want to know they have a guarantee policy in place and that the movie files are in a format that is recognized by most computers and DVD disk. - 30542
