Why
Legal
Matters!

=

By watching movies legally you'll be getting the highest video and audio quality available to you while also supporting the creators, allowing them to bring you more of your favourite stories.

  • Security

    You'll be safe from fraud, ID theft, malicious software and hacking when streaming content from a reputable site.

    Over 2 million Aussies say they've experienced fraud, ID theft or hacking from using dodgy sites.

  • Criminality

    You'll be guilt free knowing that you're not supporting the organised crime networks that run the illegal streaming services.

    One of the ways dodgy sites earn revenue is from the advertisements shown on every page you visit.

  • Exposure

    You'll be protected from exposure to the inappropriate content that is usually displayed on dodgy download or streaming sites.

    You're 8.5 times more likely to be exposed to content that is inappropriate when using dodgy sites.

If you have ever typed "watch films online free", "free movie websites" or "how to download movies for free", you will know how many links promise instant access.

Most of these sites rely on piracy and they can expose you to malicious ads, data theft and poor-quality video.

Pirated services often attract viewers with buzzwords like "HD movies" or "best movie torrent site", but the risks outweigh any short-term gain.

Malware hidden in a movie torrent download can lock your files for ransom or steal your banking details.

Illegal operators also pull revenue away from the actors, technicians and local crews who create the stories we love.

The good news is there are safe, convenient ways to enjoy thousands of titles, many at no cost.

Free legal platforms such as ABC iview, SBS On Demand, 10, 7Plus, 9Now and Tubi offer blockbusters, classics and new releases.

If you want the freshest cinema releases or premium originals, subscription services like Netflix, Stan, Disney+ and Prime Video start from just a few dollars a week, often with free-trial periods.

By choosing legitimate services you protect your device, respect copyright and help creators bring more stories to the screen.

Identify
a
Dodgy Site…
