I found a review whilst researching p2p (peer to peer) movie downloads about a gentleman who was scammed by illegal movie download sites. Here is his movie download experience:"My name is Paul Williams and I wrote this review because I was scammed out of a total of $198 before I found legitimate movie download software. My daughter got a laptop and portable DVD player for Christmas and I wanted to find a service that offered unlimited downloads for a flat fee -- I was not going to pay $10 per movie like iTunes and similiar services charge.
Well, I'm happy to report that I found a couple legitimate sites but not before I got scammed EIGHT times! I've put together a list of the sites that provided what they promised, the rest pretty much ran away with my money. My research consisted of signing up for numerous movie download sites, then downloading a couple different movies on each site to find out which sites are legitimate and which are not. In my test I looked at: download speeds, picture quality, ease of use and selection.
After completion of my research I found many sites simply did not live up to their claim! Time and time again I found sites that gave links to outdated download software, download speeds that could tie up your PC for a week, had a very limited movie database and many of the movies I downloaded had picture quality so poor it resembled a camcorder recording from the inside of a movie theater... Not good! If you do sign up for a movie download site, please do not sign up for anything not listed here, you may be very disappointed.
Even though most sites I reviewed did not live up to my expectations, I did manage to find a couple sites that were truly worth every penny! These sites all have ridiculously huge selections, (I found just about every movie I was looking for, and trust me, I was looking for some very hard to find movies) most movies I downloaded had near-perfect picture quality, I got all the right download software (of course), and with some of the movies I downloaded, I got download speeds upward of 300kb! (very impressive) If you are planning on spending money to download movies (which, if you like movies, I highly recommend) then these are the sites to use".

Here are the Movie Download Sites he recommends to use (via P2P Networks):
- The Movie Downloads
- Butterfly Download Network
- Free Movie Now
- Shared Movies
- Cinema Download
- Movie Download World
- 123 Movie Download
My Opinion
The movie download sites he recommends all use peer to peer networks. You must read the disclaimer on each website to find out what the risk is. On the Yapdoodle (number 1 on list) website, it goes into detail about how 'sharing' is 'not illegal as long as you obey the all relevant copyright laws'.
In the UK, people who download via peer to peer networks are facing legal action. Read more about P2P illegal downloads.
My advice is to stay well clear of p2p (peer to peer) movie download sites as the risk of prosecution for illegal downloads and harmful viruses downloaded on your PC from other people files are simply not worth saving a few dollars for downloading via a 100% legal movie download site. Read more about free movie downloads and the risks involved.
I recommend using Vizumi, Cinemanow, Blockbuster, Apple, really any websites that are backed by film studios. They require small payments to download a movie but they will be much better quality and you will not face prosecution using these legal and safe sites.
