Downloading movies is not legal anyway you look at it unfortunatly.

Unless you use Bigpond's "download for $xx and it gets deleted after x amount of hours"...video rental over the net

I've edited your post to remove the link.

It is a P2P network i believe where people share movies between their computers. The program itself may well be legal but it depends what you download on there for example if you downloaded the latest copyrighted movie from hollywood then that would be illegal, but if you downloaded a non-copyright movie (say a home movie) it will be legal.

Default Shared movie site

They want to change an annual fee

The other odd thing is that it was advertised on Google, so i thought it might be OK. That is really weird that Google let that slip through.

One other question, how do I put my MSN stuff in my profile for PCHF?

As it's a paid site, they might push royalties to the producers of the movies...I'll keep the link out of it still, just in case


To add your MSN address to the PCHF profile...

My PCHF -> My Profile -> scroll down about half way or so..ish...
