Why are pirated movies illegal?

Why are pirated movies illegal? Well the movie industry is one of the largest international markets with revenues of over $50 billion per year. That is a huge amount of money and a lot of people make a living from creating, producing and selling movies.

Pirated movies are sold legally too; they are just being given illegally. You see it's really not that big of a deal if all the movies you buy are legit. The problem is that some people will pirate movies to make extra cash. In fact, there are some movie producers that produce a very large percentage of their profits from illegal movie downloads. There are other people that download pirated movies for purposes of gambling or pornography.

So why are pirated movies websites like extramovies, uwatchfree movies, 9xmovies, movieflix, movierulz etc illegal? This is because once a copy is pirated, it can be replicated hundreds or thousands of times. It then becomes illegal and a form of theft. The producers and distributors of movies sell products legally all over the world. This creates a profit for them but makes it very hard to make any money from selling pirated copies.

What happens if I download a movie that I know is not properly legit? Well, most people who pirate movies do not care about the original owners rights so they just take what they want and copy it. Sometimes they sell these pirated movies on torrent websites. Many individuals also download these movies from websites that are dedicated to movie releases. When these movies are pirated, they lose their quality and sometimes their entire movie is lost along with it.

Since pirated movies cannot be sold in the stores, the industry has created ways for you to legally download the movies you want. You will be asked to pay a small one time fee. This one time fee gives you access to thousands of movies right from your computer. Once you have found a movie that you want to watch you can then buy that movie through a movie store or you can also sell the ones you do not want. With millions of people downloading pirated movies, there is no shortage of products available to sell.

Many of the movies are offered at a reduced rate to encourage more people to download them. At this point in time, there does not seem to be a big problem with people downloading pirated copies of movies. Pirated movie downloaders will always have an opportunity to get the movie they want at a lower rate. However, the movie industry must find a way to stop movie downloads from happening altogether so everyone wins.
