How Does the Movie Copyright Work?

    How can you legally stream movies online without facing the copyright laws. Like some sites let you rent a movie for 24 hours and you download it and can only watch it with that time given and etc..

    What steps do you have to go through to do that?

    Those companies have an agreement with the copyright holder. What else did you think is going on there?

    Accusing Netflix of committing a crime, how interesting. OF COURSE they have an agreement, one way or the other, otherwise you could sue their pants off and win.

    Why is common sense such a rare commodity these days? :confused:

    lol thx guys guess i'll move on to another project, because wouldn't you have to send letters of to every company for each movie you would like to stream online and etc.?

    I would think so, and they they probably have the choice of declining it or approval...

    Someone needs to slap you silly. It's not a matter of how nicely you can ask, it's a matter of how much cash you have. So pleeeeease get some common sense.

    hey guy relax, everybody isn't into all this material like you are. All I asked was a simple question, didn't need any smart responses, doesn't hurt to ask. So pleeeeease grow some manners for us all.

    thx :)
