We’ve all heard about the tug-of-war between college students and record companies. College student illegally downloads music on the Internet, record companies wants to sue. It’s a perpetual battle that has been raging on college campuses and elsewhere across the United States for years now. However, it is also an issue of concern to film production companies who are finding their flicks are being stolen left and right as well.

Alongside music files, movie files can be downloaded through those not-so-legitimate Web services. While we all know nothing beats a free movie or song, there is no comparison in terms of quality. Many illegally-downloaded movie files are hard to see, with grainy appearances and frequent freezes. Music downloads are the same, with random blips and beeps interrupting tracks. However, it isn’t a surprise to those wanting something for nothing.

Just a year ago, Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) President Cary H. Sherman confronted college students at the University of Delaware, encouraging them to purchase their music. Similarly, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) launched efforts to discourage students from downloading movies illegally, stressing this was a breach of University policy and possible legal action would be made against them.

The University of Delaware worked with the MPAA in creating their “No Excuses,” effort to prevent students from stealing copyrighted material they didn’t have a right to access without paying first. Students caught with stolen audio and movie files on their computer networks were suspended from using the University network for a minimum of 30 days among other consequences.

While these students and people across America may be on a limited budget, there is really no excuse to steal copyrighted music and movie files. The Internet has impacted even the way we spend our money and some of the best movie download services can save film buffs money, while giving them legitimate, high-quality movie files.

How come the MPAA does not sue Google which provides links to thousands of illegal movie download sites?

Motion Picture Association of America sue relatively small obscure websites like ShowStash.net and Cinematube.net. They get multi million dollar judgments against small fry who dont have the financial resources to fight them in court. Google is a gigantic whale with unlimited money. Google can afford to tie the MPAA up in civil litigation for eternity.
