Download Full Version Movies

Over recent years downloading of movies and music on the internet has grown astronomically, the volume of daily searches on the internet for terms such as 'movie downloads', 'music downloads', 'bootleg movie download' have become very popular in the search for free or low cost entertainment.

This growth has become prevalent with the availability of broadband and as bandwidth grows, the demand for large file structured entertainment material increases proportionately. At one time this technology was almost US targeted but as the rest of the world wakes up to broader broadband and the availability reaches more remote areas of the globe the demand for downloading full versions of movies will also increase.

If we look only a few years back we notice that movies were only available to rent on tape at a local 'Blockbuster' video shop, technology evolved very quickly to disc based DVD formats which are cheaper to produce and easier to store in the home. These mediums were steps closer to consumer convenience, driving to the local DVD rental store is still a very popular activity globally on a Saturday night, but still the consumer has to get in the car, drive to the DVD store, choose a DVD, Pay for it at what is still an extortionate price, take it home and watch it and then return it at the very last moment the day after to avoid late return charges. Renting DVD's is hardly convenient in today's 'disposable' entertainment society.

Satellite TV companies around the world are now competing directly with DVD rental companies, providing box office streaming viewings of new release movies at the same price of a DVD rental, there is however a premium charged for the monthly service, but this doesn't matter to most consumers because they receive the entertainment 'on demand', they don't have to leave their homes and they don't risk late return charges (not to mention fuel costs for driving to and from the store, but let's not make this a political issue!)

Newer systems allow the consumers to record TV programmes and movies to a hard drive system for viewing later (with some time and storage restrictions), once again a step closer to convenience. The next step is surely to allow the consumer to download Movies and TV shows, Music and Games to their home cinema systems to keep for as long as they wish?

The advent of movie downloads, music downloads and gaming downloads creates great opportunities for piracy on a global scale, in the consumers search for convenience at an affordable price. Surely the media companies now understand that we are willing to pay for entertainment and to avoid piracy on such a huge scale, they need to create access at a more affordable price and in a more convenient manner/medium!
