Sharing a good film with a friend is one of the great pleasures in life. In the past, going to the cinema would involve a certain amount of preparation and expense, but these days watching up to date films in the comfort of your own home and sharing the experience with others without having to buy or rent the DVD, is commonplace. Most online movie websites allow their membership to stream up to date movies onto their home computers and watch films online at no charge. It really is as easy as that.

For the new visitor to the online movie website, certain questions may be lurking in their minds. Watching a whole film on a laptop may to some seem beyond its technical capabilities, but there are certain pieces of software like Firefox, Adobe Flashplay and DIVX that can be downloaded free from the web to facilitate this. These sites will also provide guides for minimum systems requirements needed to run the software and play a video from beginning to end. Other technical hints regarding the strength of broadband connection will ensure the smooth running of the film.

Some people will also worry about pirating and contravening any copyright laws when streaming movies from online movie websites. Many of these sites source films from their own community so there could be the possibility of copyright infringement, but whenever this is detected the film is removed so you will have no problem. Also streaming doesn’t involve downloading so these sites only act as a portal rather than a movie database.

So joining an online movie community website is like joining your local library but with the extra facility of rating and sharing the watching experience with others. We at TheOnlyDevice provide a vast selection of free online movies of all genres for our viewing community’s enjoyment.
