After YouTube was bought by Google in October 2006, the number of illegal downloads in exchange exchanges has dropped significantly compared to the previous year.Now the pirates are beating with their own streaming portals like Cinemax.To back, but not all free video-on-demand offers are illegal.
One of the most discussed video-on-demand portals at the moment to watch films online is Cinemax.to.The illegal internet portal www.Cinemax.to, www.movie theater.1a.to or www.movie stream.To offers documentaries, series and films online as a live stream that can be viewed immediately, free of charge and without registration and long waiting times.
Ist Cinemax.To legal or illegal?The game with the fire
Cinemax.To hosted these films with providers, which provide a limited amount of online storage space free of charge and achieves its turnover through display banners and donations from members.According to copyright, the download of "obviously illegal" or illegal films in accordance with Section 53 of the Copyright is punishable in Germany.For this reason, as an internet surfer, you may be able to check whether the online films are special advertising offers that may be used by certain artists and filmmakers.be offered legally and free of charge (z.B.the film "Home") or whether it is an illegal but pirated offer.A completely different opinion on the topic can be found in the following video contribution.
As a rule, it is an illegal offer if the provider has no right to offer the downloadable content.So.B.Current films offered for download or stream online on the Internet, then it is impossible to be a legal offer, as it is excluded that a private provider already has the rights to use the films on the Internet.
On www.movie theaterx.To meets the fact that is just outlined.In addition to free television series, there are pretty much every current film online as a "obviously illegal" download or.Stream.It is particularly advisable to visit this website.According to the criteria of the Federal Ministry of Justice, “for the respective user, according to his level of education and knowledge.“(Source: Heise.de)
With ignorance, hardly anyone will be able to speak out here. Sowohl die GVU (Gesellschaft zur Verfolgung von Urheberrechtsverletztungen) als auch die MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) haben bereits gerichtliche Schritte gegen die Betreiber von movie theaterx.to announced.
Update: Frankreich will Besuch vonStreaming-Seiten unter Strafe stellen
In France you are now breaking new ground in fighting internet piracy. Dem französischen Politiker Jacques Toubon sind dabei insbesondere dieStreaming-Anbieter, wie movie theaterx.to, a thorn in the side. Wenn es nach Toubon ginge, dann stünden Besucher von movie theaterx.To with one leg in prison. Das Ziel des französischen Politikers ist es nämlich ein Gesetz zu schaffen, dass bereits den Besucher einer Webseite wie movie theaterx.to and not the use of a exchange exchange for download illegal content.Similar legislative projects are already being discussed in Germany.
According to Toubon's opinion, which had previously been a cultural and Justice Minister in France, the laws would only have to be adapted comparatively easily to the current technical development.But as so often, theory and practice differ considerably. Damit ein solches Gesetz Wirkung entfalten könnte, wäre es notwendig, dass staatliche Instanzen an die IP-Adressen der Nutzer von Websites wie movie theaterx.to get.
But already here the project threatens to fail to fail. Die Betreiber von movie theaterx.to and other comparable pages know how to hide it cleverly.In most cases, investigative attempts have so far been left out.It therefore seems more than unlikely that it could be possible to persuade the website operators for active participation.After all, they have no interest in the fact that the visitors could be identified of their website.
Immer noch ungeklärt ist zudem die Frage, ob das Betrachten einesStreams mit einem Download gleichzusetzen ist. Ein Film von movie theaterx.To always ends up in the browser intermediate memory.The complete work, on the other hand, is rarely saved on the hard drive. Ob die User von movie theaterx.to daher wirklich durch das Betrachten einesStreams in den Besitz einer illegalen Raubkopie gelangen, ist hierdurch unklar.

MSN Video: Video-on-Demand Portal from Microsoft
Microsoft did not want to watch the trend of the online video portals.That is why there has been the German-language portal MSN video since 2008 on which, among other things, cinema films can also be viewed in full length.The advantage of the video portal: a nicely made and quite clear user interface.When you call up the website you get an overview of the most important topics and the most popular online films.There is a good mix between entertainment, news and background information.
The MSN offer is conveniently structured into the categories of news, entertainment, comedy and movies.The film database, which can be found under "Movies", is quite poor compared to other portals.You can mainly find classics of film here, which are also popular elsewhere.But the optical processing of the whole is quite personable.And a few cinema stars can also be discovered in the film offer that extends from "Fix and Foxi" to "Django".

Conclusion: MSN video can offer a nice change for in between.Since the overall film offer is quite manageable and beyond, it is well organized, it is suitable for users who simply want to browse a little in online films.The film offer is much too small for an online video store (even if there is only free feature films).Even those who want to find out more about messages are better offset on the website of the TV channels and newspapers.

Videoload Free: Watch films and series for free
For some time now, Deutsche Telekom has been offering a free online video store with its "Videoload Free" portal.In addition to films and series, there are also recordings of concerts and extreme sports clips.However, the film offer is limited. Bei den Online Filmen können User zwischen den Kategoren „Action & Thriller“, „Drama“ und „Komödie“ wählen.One of the highlight: a ten -year -old remake of the classic Doctor Schiwago.
However, there is not a single film on the free portal that was made after 2002.Another disadvantage of the film portal: There is no rating option that can be used to search for the most popular movies.The music videos shown are not exactly the latest: Highlight are numerous episodes of the 60s music cult of "Beat Club" conjured up from the moth box.
After all, the extreme sports clips offer a fairly wide selection of clips and athlete portraits.Also positive: the integrated channels of South German TV, Electronic Beats and Dmax.The latter attracts with the scrap dealer series "Die Ludolfs".There are also links to various other online portals on “Videoload Free”.In order to watch the online films in the browser, Firefox users need a Windows Media plugin.If you surf with the Internet Explorer, you need the current version of the media player.The online streams are protected by the DRM process and cannot therefore be copied to the hard disk.
If the film offer on "Videoload Free" is not enough, gives way (and that is probably also the calculation of the makers) to the paid sister page "Videoload".There is not only a large selection of films, but also improved search functions.The price for any number of online streamings of the same film within 48 hours is usually 2.99 euros.
