In life, there is no such thing as a free lunch, but amazingly one can watch free movies. Free movies are those movies that are made for free distribution or have entered the public domain. Sometimes free movies may be downloaded from the Internet, which may be done legally or illegally.
Initially, this business started with free movie clips. Movie clips may be screened in a theatre before or after a full-length feature or advertised on certain sites on the Internet, but technology has changed. Movie players can now be downloaded free of charge over the Internet, including the Apple Quick Time Player, The Windows Media Player and The Real Media Player.
Such software can be used to play free movies from the Internet. There are hundreds of sites that offer movies for a small fee. Why spend a fortune on movie tickets when one can watch their favorite movies at a fraction of the price from the comfort of your personal computer? Film directories like Scour and Ifilm are like virtual multiplexes. The advent of free movie sites have made online movie watching a popular activity.
A good place to down load free movies is at ibiblio.org and archive.org. Both these sites have a growing collection of public domain movies that can be easily downloaded. It is legal to down load these movies as their copyrights have expired and hence they are in the public domain. An example is the classic Frank Capra film, ‘It’s a Wonderful Life”, which was termed as a free movie in the public domain for the last several years since its copyright had not been renewed.
Some of the popular free movie sites are Watch Free Movies Online, Shared Movies, Free Movies Now, Movie Download World, 123 Movie Download, Cinema Download, Netbroadcaster.com, and Singingfish. Some low fees sites include CinemaNow.com and Movie Flix.com. Downloading a movie with a broadband connection requires only a few minutes. The flipside to the free movie phenomenon is that it has made movie piracy easy.
The Napster experience of music piracy is threatening the motion picture industry in what is known as the Wrapster phenomenon. Microsoft’s new operating system will have strong anti-movie -piracy features to prevent illegal downloads.
There are a lot of sites on the market offering free downloads. The burden is on the customer to determine whether the movie is a legal or pirated copy. Sometimes, claims on the Internet maybe false. Most DVD’s cannot be downloaded from the net without paying a fee.
Only those movies released into the public domain such as when a director has not sought a copyright can be actually downloaded free of cost.

Free Movie Clips
Free movie clips are those clips that are available free of cost over the Internet. These clips can be downloaded from the website, which offers them without any charge. Free movie clips are generally released to popularize upcoming movies by providing the audience a sneak preview of the main attractions in the feature film, be it its special effect or its music. Releasing a movie clip over the Internet has become a useful marketing strategy for studios.
Free movie clips are released both in video and audio format. The main platforms targeted for free video clips include computers and laptops, which can be used to directly download these clips from the Internet and which already have pre-installed programs to view them. The other viewing platforms that can be used to view movie clips include cellular phones and portable video players, most of which do not have the capacity to download these clips directly.
In case of free audio clips, the main platforms that can be used to play these are cell phones and other music devices such as MP3 players and iPods. A simple method of downloading free audio and video movie clips to devices that cannot download them directly is to first download the clip on your computer and then transfer it to the device, using a data cable or any other transfer method such as blue-tooth or infra red transfer.
Before downloading free movie clips, it is advisable to confirm whether the website offering them is legitimate. This is important, since downloading movies or movie clips from an illegal or unauthorized website is a crime under the federal law.
As a part of their marketing efforts, most studios create a unique website for each movie that they release. Short clips of the movie are usually available for download on these websites.

Download Free Movie Online
With the advent of the internet, it has become easier and easier for people to download free movie online. Since most people nowadays have broadband connection and fast computers, it becomes feasible to stream or download free movie online.
There are a couple of ways to download free movie online but before I discuss the different ways, it is important to only download copyright free and piracy free online movies. There are many online movie download sites that allows you to download free movie online but are illegal and you could violate copyright and piracy laws.
Free Download Movie Sites
There are a couple of websites on the internet that allows you to download free movie online. An example is www.jonhs.net/freemovies/. It has a collection of copyright free movies in the public domain. There are plenty more free movie download sites such as ovguide.com, a free movie search engine.
You can do a search for free movies on google in quotes and it will produce more results.
P2P Networks
Another alternative way to download free movie online is to make use of P2P networks. P2P make use of peer-to-peer technology to send and transfer large amount of data. A famous example was Napster although it is no longer a P2P network.
However there are still several P2P networks alive such as Limewire. However, there are several disadvantages. Firstly, most movies files on P2P networks are illegal or bootleg copies. Also, the movies files could be infected with spyware or viruses since the files are distributed freely. Your download speed may also vary depending on your location and the file you want to download.
Paid Online Movie Sites
Ok, this one is not free but in my opinion is the best way to download free dvd movie online. For these paid online movie sites, basically you only paid a one time membership fee and you are allowed access to their archives of movies, music, mp3 etc
The files you download are safer as they are free from spyware and viruses. Download speeds are faster and you won’t have to worry about copyright laws etc.
