If you want to watch movies on the web these days then the top place to go is YouTube. With so many different videos to choose from, you will never have a reason to be bored. Although sometimes people will put pirated movies up on YouTube, they will be removed before too long. The fact that there is such a high demand for the latest movies has not gone unnoticed by the Google owned company.
So a new service allowing people to legally watch the latest releases has just been launched by them. This is a service that looks likely to be hugely successful if current indicators are anything to go by.
The YouTube rental service is on offer to the UK now and this is the first country outside of North America to be allowed access. Internet users in North America first had access to the service in May last year and in September of the same year, the Canadian users were provided with access.
You can expect to pay from 2.49 to 3.49 for a title from the thousands of different options available. And when it comes to quality you can expect the equivalent of DVD quality. Purchased movies can be downloaded but only viewable for a period of thirty days.
I've always said that the appetite for pirated movies will fall if there is a viable legal alternative. Maybe more people will opt for the YouTube service rather than opting for pirated movies now. I'm a bit disappointed to see that we've needed to wait so long for this service to be available in the UK. I can't understand why the whole world was not offered this service at the same time.
The coming months will be very interesting to me as I watch how this service performs. There is an audience there for YouTube but whether they can take advantage of it remains to be seen.
