This is by far one of the most shameless, total disregard for copyrights and laws business models i've seen online, of course the girl selling her virginity on ebay, ok, the guy where women tell him what to wear.. ok,, but these people have no shame Megavideo.com has recently released movies on their site and when you are about 70 minutes into the movie, the movie stops and you are prompted to pay a megavideo monthly membership fee, if you want to finish viewing the movie...LMAO... I was just watching 7 LBS. which is not even in all theaters yet or released.. like clockwork 72 minutes into the movie...Bam!! the payment prompt pops up. LOL- Unbelievable, man these people have some nerve...
Thats funny they wasted 72min wow. good idea better then putting it at the beginning. Pirated movie what do you expect.
Yes its one of the way to make customer buy something from them and its legal in term of law. You should pay for you had done or watch such as you should pay for the movie ticket when watching at cinema.
haha that is so funny. you watched half of a movie and then they asked you pay. for me that would have ruined the movie i probably would have never been intrested in seeing the rest
Why not go to the movies and pay for it, these movies are pirated, you're not paying for it, what else do you expect. At least you got to watch the beginning.
it sounds like a good idea ^^ 72 minute sampler... but also think about it.... they're hoping you get interested and can't go on without the last half :O it's cunning...
Streaming video over the internet is not a cheap business, someone has to pay the bandwidth costs and I doubt they make that much from advertising. Seems very fair to me and there arent many businesses out there that give the functionality of megavideo. Youtube only allows 10 minute videos in comparison.
The movie has recently released? So I guess it was camcorder version with heads poped up sometimes? It ruins the movie in the first place.
ha you are such a **** - i cant even say it on the forum - Your complaing that a video sharing site is asking you to pay a monthly fee because you want to watch more than 70 minutes of a video - but the video your watching is pirated??? first of all there probley loosing money on a per customer basis with you - and yur complaing that you cant watch a pirated video in full for free on a free platform lol - you make me sick - go out and buy the video or get a job @venturefox - they dont have a ten minute limit here are 4 hour long videos on your tube they do have a upload limit though
Go to a different video sharing site. Try tudou, youku, and those other Chinese ones. They usually have nothing shameless like that...
He OP, apparently you don't mind copying other people their hard work for free, so I think I will go and use your sites and their content on some urls of mine I have laying around. Apparently you don't mind piracy anyway. What is wrong with you people? I guess everyone admitting here they are watching illegal stuff should have their site copied 1-1 to see how they like it. Learn the hard way what piracy means. And then complaining you have to pay for it? That is wrong on soooo many levels. Bandwidth is expensive, movie making is expensive etc; someone has to pay for all of that and everybody knows that ads don't pay enough to run those kinds of sites. You call that shameless? You need an ethics class.
Unfortunately, that's how the business model works these days. Not that they are unsuccessful, but one thing for sure, they don't build on trust.
