Is watching streaming videos or movies online illegal?
I see nothing illegal in watching videos online at streaming services .. I do it permanently at http://putlockers.watch/ , I think it’s a great opportunity for people who doesn’t want to go to cinema but are eager to watch the latest movies .
No. There are many sites that offer free videos and movies online for free such as hulu.com which do so without violating copyright agreement. Furthermore, it is not illegal to access content that is copyrighted, it is illegal to make copyrighted material accessible. Torrenting programs and other P2P applications are illegal because when you access the materials you are also sharing them. However, direct download services are only illegal for the person uploading the infringing content.
