Top 5 Pirate Blu-ray/DVD Movies, Music or Software

Summary: On the surface, being a pirate might seem like a good deal. All the music and movies you want.

With all the file sharing sites out there, nobody pays for music, movie and software anymore, do they? Many file sharing sites got original Blu-ray/DVD movies/music/software and hacked them then upload them to their sites for people downloading. They get website traffic and advertising contribution to make money. I don't say it that you completely shouldn't download the pirate Blu-ray/DVD movies, music and software to prevent from taking your money. But there are some 5 reasons to make you stop pirating Blu-ray/DVD movies, music and software.5 Reasons You Shouldn't Pirate Blu-ray/DVD Movies, Music or Software

It's Dangerous.

The fact of the matter is that if something sounds too good to be true, it almost certainly is. While the idea of a brand new album available (free!) months before the release date is certainly enticing, it's also likely an outright lie. Pirates often make grand promises about what a given file contains; in fact, they'll arrange it so that whatever you search for, they'll have something available with that title. What many unlucky pirates discover, however, is that instead of the great movie they wanted to watch, they've downloaded a dangerous virus. The resulting damage to their computers can be catastrophic and could end up costing much more than the file they downloaded would have.

It's Illegal.

While some people believe that being a pirate is a victimless crime, the fact of the matter is that businesses lose millions of dollars a year to internet piracy. Copyright infringement is a very serious matter to them, and they are not shy about prosecuting those who rob them. While it may seem paranoid, it's wiser to stay away from illegal downloads rather than risk a potentially devastating lawsuit.

It Drives Prices Up

While the cost of acquiring media has decreased drastically with the advent of the internet, the cost of producing much of this same material remains the same. Companies are forced to spend millions of dollars catching pirates each year, and that ultimately cuts into their profit margins. This in turn forces companies to raise the prices on their products, whether it is movies, music or software. Ultimately, being a pirate only hurts you and all other consumers like you.

It's not supported

This aspect applies more to software than media, but it is also somewhat true of movies and music. If you have trouble installing an application or it damages your system in some way, there is no possibility of getting help for a stolen product. If you acquired the software legitimately, then the developer will help you solve the problem. For instance, if some type of DVD copy software fails to perform as advertised, you can return, replace or modify the product. The same offer does not stand for illegally downloaded material.

It's Hard

The simple truth is that looking for pirated media is a time-consuming and often difficult process. Filtering out the spam and viruses from actual available media is not only dangerous, it's also silly. There are many legitimate sources where you can acquire the same media for a fraction of the effort. Pirates simply opt to ignore websites like iTunes or Amazon, where music can be purchased for a reasonable price with guaranteed quality. Movies and TV shows are easier than ever to get at too, thanks to Netflix and Hulu. What's more, there are a number of perfectly legal DVD copy software applications that you can purchase for a reasonable price. To be an internet pirate is to make your life far more difficult than it has to be.

How to organize them to free up some space to collect more DVDs? Any idea about shrink DVD stroage space? Now, this articles is shareing 5 creative ideas about DVD storage for small places.

5 Perfect DVD Storage Ideas for Small Spaces

DVD storage idea #1. Store DVD with DVD Sleeves

Here’s what I do when we buy a movie. First I pull the DVDs out and put them in a sleeve. There are 2 slots in the sleeve so if there’s a Blue Ray version and a non-Blue Ray version I can keep both of them together. I also keep movies like Cars 1 and Cars 2 together in the same sleeve. Then I pull the paper cover out of the original DVD case and cut it to fit the sleeve. I like to save the front cover of the DVDs because it makes it easier to identify the movies when you’re looking through them.Slide the cover into the sleeve, then slide the DVD sleeve behind it and you’re done!

DVD storage idea #2. Store DVD on DVD Wall

I am absolutely in love with our new DVD wall. We had to clear a closet to make room for our expanding family. Now the coat closet in the living room is actually a coat closet and no longer home to our DVD collection. I haven't decided yet if I am proud or ashamed of how many DVDs we own, but it looks awesome either way! We used shelf brackets from Home Depot, and we used 1x8 wood planks instead of buying the cheap shelves they have in that section of the store. This was a pretty easy project. The most tedious part is staining the wood, but I always feel that way about any project.

DVD storage idea #3. Store DVD in DVD wallets

I trawled the internet looking for inspiration and came across some DVD wallets. They were not like the CD storage I had used in the past, but instead handily incorporated the Movie artwork aswell. I found that by using these wallets my whole movie collection fits into a basket! I'm currently searching for a better basket to house them, this one is a bit flimsy but it will do for now.

DVD storage idea #4. Store DVD under bed

Trunk beds offer a lot of room for storing stuff. So, why not make use of it to store your DVDs? It can keep quite a lot of DVDs. Put them into the drawer under your bed, and then those bulky DVDs will be out of your sight. Now, it's time to enjoy your small but tidy room.

Best DVD storage idea. Store DVD content to hard drive, portable storage devices, cloud service, NAS, etc.

For portable devices including Android tablets, MP4 is recommended since it has wide compatibility with multiple players, good video quality and small file size. For TV, MPEG format is so far accepted by most brands. You can choose any video format in “Format” bar according to the DVD playback device you will use.

Besides, after having a digital copy, you can choose to ditch space-consuming DVD discs. Obviously, it can be regarded as a good DVD storage idea.
