Downloading Pirated Movies Is Not The Best Idea

Movie downloads have become so easy you probably don’t know anyone who hasn’t tried it at some point. Young people, especially, seem to have an expert knowledge of what’s involved, whether they’re with a group or on their own. Because of the many options open to them, it became very easy for them to do what they want without getting caught.

There’s a big difference between illegal downloads and watching personal video on YouTube and other video sharing sites. In the latter, the owner of the video makes a conscious choice to publish what he has produced.

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.”

Again, these movies are stolen goods. A lot of people put hard work into making them, and by illegally getting your hands on these films, you’re taking something away from them. You know you wouldn’t walk up to somebody who was offering stolen goods in the real world, and so you shouldn’t in the virtual world, either. However tempting it might be, you must hold off for your own sake.

No matter how much emphasis there might be on those stories where somebody is caught doing illegal downloading, and no matter how scary the fines and even prison time they might have had to face could be, the fact is people who get caught are few and far between.

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

Unfortunately, there is a common thought process for many people wherein their only concern is their own risk. Because they probably aren’t going to get caught, they don’t feel as though there’s any reason for them to stop what they’re doing. It’s a rationalization process that keeps them from having to consider the actual consequences of their actions.

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.

You put them in a very bad position, and should feel guilty about what you’re doing. It’s a hard habit to give up, but it’s just the not the right thing to do.

There are all sorts of people involved in the movie industry. Some of them make a lot of money, but many of them don’t. It’s easy not to feel bad about high-paid actors losing money, but what about the extras and other workers? Tell everybody you know to stop downloading movies illegally. They may not like the idea, but in the end, they’ll feel better about themselves.
