Well thank God, because we never hosted anything from these sites and I kept thinking, this is wrong. If it was that easy to sidestep it would have been done already. With enough intelligent minds there should be a way to use that material though.
I've always considered like, why not a one time fee for members of a site, 30 bucks, 50 bucks etc. All access to music, movies or whatever you're paying for.
I have emailed sites before making this post and NONE have responded. I checked with a site like
http://netmoviedownloads.com/?hop=silkefine to ask them how 35 dollars for unlimited downloads makes it legal that I watch and download movies for the expanse of my existence. 35 dollars isn't nothing, but still how does that pay for thousands of movies I'll watch over time. That is the site that movies on demand links to if you want to download the movie.
I'm just sitting here thinking, with even the Christian in me set aside, that this is damn wrong.
The question I ask to many of you ontop of the thread question is, how could any of this be made legal?
A one time fee, high enough to support the times you play music?
Or a small but continous fee for listening to music or watching movies legally?
I mean American Gangster is 1 dollar rental at your McDonalds, why can't we do that on Forums or Websites, 1 dollar you can watch it, set up a paypal account and watch what and when you want to.
EDIT: The Future is Internet Television and probably Internet Movies and media such as music as well. They just need to make it reasonable enough so that many can afford it and that many will use it. I tell you, the future is the laptop being the cable box, you plug it in when you get off work to your flat screen monitor and it's your cable box.
