4. Dear Moviesanddownloads.com,

   1. What Makes Downloading Movies From Your Website Legal?
   
   2. From Where Do You Receive Your Media From?
   
   3. Do You Own The Rights To These Movies?
   
   Thank You For Your Cooperation.

5. [[Of Course Ask As Many Questions As You Like]]
   
   Once This Is Accomplished, Do Not Proceed In Subscribing, Or Singing Up With Anything, Until Your E-mail Is Replied To. If They Never Reply, Then It Stands To Good Reason, That They Are Not Legal.
6. But What If They Do Reply? Then It's Up To You To Use Your Judgment In If You Want To Participate In The "Free Movie Download" Business. But If There Is Any Doubt To The Legality Of Their Website, Then Follow The Next Step.
7. Almost Every Time, A "Free Movie Website" Isn't Even Free. In-Fact, They Make You Think It's Free, But It Really Just Turns Out To Be A Scam. And Even More Of The Time, It's Not Even Legal. Sharing Copyrighted Files Is Not Legal, At Least In The United States. In Various Other Countries The Restrictions Are Different, So Find Out Where The Website Is Based, And Research The Copyright Laws Of That Place. Although, Just Because It's Legal Somewhere Else Doesn't Mean It's Legal Where You Are. So Just Be Careful. Exercise Caution, And Get A Response From Every Angle. But Almost Always Don't Mess With "Free Movie Websites" Because They Are Almost Always Illegal.
