Re: great Article
When I want to watch a movie, I need to check first on Amazon Prime, then Sky Movies, then check it's not on netflix, then see if it's on Amazon for rental. Sometime you can only buy the movie outright (£10-15), sometimes it's £3.49 or £4.49 but a quid off for not watching it in HD. Sometimes it's less. Sometimes it's free.
Then my son told me about Putlocker. I just choose the movie, and if it's available, I watch it on my iphone, which can mirror to my amazon tv stick with an app on the stick for Apple's "airplay" service.
And Putlocker costs £0.
Yes it's illegal, and I don't mind paying for movies (I already pay for sky, netflix, amazon etc anyway) but I do mind the inconvenience. I'll go for the path of least resistance, and if that means paying £3.49 for a movie rental, then I will. But if it means "stealing" a film using this putlocker thing, then I'll just do that. The film company won't get my money, because "you snooze you lose". If they had the movies I wanted when I wanted them, I'd pay.
Having said that, I've only ever watched one movie on putlocker and I didn't even like it that much.
I think I'll cancel my sky movies though. Waste of money.
