Are movie streaming sites legal ?
Yes, it does sound too good but remember, streaming unlicensed online content is not illegal , uploading it is. So if are watching a pirated episode of “Game of thrones “, you aren’t the one who can be held accountable. However, it can’t be said that it is completely ethical.
General habits of Online streaming
In a new Business Insider/Survey Monkey poll focused solely on streaming, 14% of people admitted to streaming unlicensed content. Of the respondents who didn’t stream unlicensed content, 23% said it was because they didn’t know how, and 32% said it was because they think it is illegal.
How do these sites work?
Online streaming sites like myflixer, usually avoid getting caught in the legal battle, by acting as a search engine, where they don’t host any of its content on its original site. The “inducement rule,” states that “one who distributes a device with the object of promoting its use to infringe copyright, as shown by clear expression or other affirmative steps taken to foster infringement, is liable for the resulting acts of infringement by third parties. This way sites can dodge legal battles.
The secondary sites which host this content are usually shut down quickly and new ones come up even more quick since it’s easy to shut down a site but difficult to find out who owns it.
How to achieve best user experience
Make sure do not click any adds or popups. As soon as we open these popups, they direct us to different /websites which are completely unrelated. Just navigate through them, even those that claim to give you $ for free!
To sum up, as a user a site with numerous popups and annoying notifications may not be the most desirable watching experience. Althoughte fact that its free, easily reachable, poses no potential threats to devices, makes it a great option for many internet users.
