Sorry if this has been brought up before (the search is worse than useless on this site) but can anyone recommend a good movie download site? Also I want to burn the downloaded movies to CD. Can anyone recommend a good burner to do this?

I dont mind paying a few bucks especially if I can access new releases.

I'm not particularly computer savvy so I kinda need something I can use thats idiot-proof (if thats possible)....lol.

ISO Hunt.
Check the comments before downloading; though red comments are bad.
Good luck.

My absolute favorite site is thepiratebay.org. However, they are going out of business sometime "soon," though recent events suggests it won't be all that soon. If the upload has a purple or green skull next to it, it's good. Otherwise, you're running a risk downloading it. My backup site is mininova.com. I don't use it as much so I don't know how to tell if an upload is trusted, but I use Linux which doesn't get viruses (I suggest you try it out of you feel adventurous), so I can download anything I want from anyone with no worries.

Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with burning movies onto CDs. What program to use will depend upon what operating system you use, and I assume you use Window$. Since I use Linux all I can do is google and try to give you something that may work. This looks simple: http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-burnwin.htm. Good luck.

both isohunt.com and piratebay.org are great. I was recently turned on to sharereactor.com which does a nice job of filtering out all the junk and showing you just what's good.

Forget burning. It's a total waste of protons. If you keep the movies on your computer, you should be able to simply hook it up directly to your TV to watch them, which uses only electrons. Do you really want to save movies forever? Buying an external hard drive is just about as cheap as (and far easier) than buying good burning software and the CDs to store them.

Email me directly if you want to know details on how to watch movies in style and comfort. My living room rocks.

to legally download movies...u need to use a torrent site...or pay for the movie at places like netflix. However, there's always someone making movies available on his personal ftp server. You need to learn how to use google with some parameters. I found one place to download my movies, but because he is using a dynamic ip address, it is subject to change. His temporary address is this: http:..121.173.40.29

just click downloads....movies.....and you can download some 300 movies. It's probably a good idea to send him an e-mail so you can always find out what his new address is. It changes every few months.

if you are going to download from torrent sites, u will need a torrent downloader. bit comet is a good one. the best site hands down to download movies is ahashare.com. isohunt and piratebay are ok. generally speaking, it's pretty safe to dl movies and tv shows....but be careful downloading programs.

it's only illegal to download copyrighted material. not all downloads at torrent sites are copyrighted. so, yes and no. it might be illegal to download some material from the torrent sites.

here's a quote from a website i was just at:

I was looking online for copyright theft/infringement and found a case where the case looked over by the Supreme court was considered in the favour of the bootleg phonorecords seller:

" interference with copyright does not easily equate with theft, conversion, or fraud. The Copyright Act even employs a separate term of art to define one who misappropriates a copyright: ... 'an infringer of the copyright.' ...

The infringer invades a statutorily defined province guaranteed to the copyright holder alone. But he does not assume physical control over the copyright; nor does he wholly deprive its owner of its use. While one may colloquially link infringement with some general notion of wrongful appropriation, infringement plainly implicates a more complex set of property interests than does run-of-the-mill theft, conversion, or fraud.
�Dowling v. United States, 473 U.S. 207, pp. 217�218
