Recently, for $4.99, I have been downloading (to the UK) about 12 movies a month from a North American website. There are all just out and, sometimes, not yet released.
For example - Shutter Island, Robin Hood, Iron Man 2 and Sherlock Holmes.
Download quality is usually very good, though not all the time.
Apart from recent releases, the site has over 100,000 movies - as well as all the episodes of TV shows such as 24 and Lost. There is also a long list of documentaries.
Its all very well done with no gimmicks or links. Is this the future? Is it legal - not that this concerns me!
