Is watch-movies.net an illegal site?

If you view other illegal stuff online then it being saved to your hard drive temporarily is enough. When the file gets deleted it still remains on your hard drive and that can be recovered. It doesn't matter how long you had the file.

I'm not saying that watching a single movie is going to get you sued, but if you are doing enough to get that sort of attention then it can be held against you.

The internet isn't at fault for making you download things, you can download plenty of things legally!

Why not just zero out the data? I actually have a nice little widget that does that.

Also, if you put more stuff on top of that data it will be over-written.

Also, dosent Leopard overwrite the data it deleted a few times? Its "Secure Empty Trash" I think.

One more thing, what is the likelihood of your HD being randomly searched by police anyway?

Getting rid of the evidence doesn't make it any less illegal, it just means you won't get caught. It's not likely that your HD will be searched by the police, and it definitely won't happen randomly. Lots of people commit minor offenses (and even large ones) every day and don't get caught, it doesn't mean it's not illegal.
 
US illegal, Latin America (Where site is hosted) nope not illegal.

Anyway why do you have to ask if you can get free movies then it is of course morally wrong at least, load of other sites do the same (NinjaVi***, 66***** etc etc Loads).

this reminded me of how the internet is starting to bypass the US. i wonder how this'll effect what's out there
 
Its like saying a phone book is illegal because there are criminals phone numbers in there.

These websites are not illegal, but the content that they do not host is illegal. (Pending which country it's hosted in)
