YouTube is the top place on the web to go to if you want to watch videos. There are millions of them to choose from and there is no excuse to ever get bored. In the past pirated movies have ended up on YouTube but they tend to be removed pretty fast. The huge demand for all the latest movie releases is something that the Google owned company has noticed. This is why they have launched a new service that allows people in the UK to watch the latest movies legally. This is a service that looks likely to be hugely successful if current indicators are anything to go by.
The UK is the first country outside of North America to be given access to this new YouTube rental service. 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. There are thousands of titles to choose from all ranging in price from £2.49 to £3.49. The level of quality is about the same as a DVD. While you can download the movies that you purchase, you can only watch them 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. I actually think there will be more people ignoring the pirated versions now that this new YouTube service is available. 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 don't know why this service is not available worldwide. 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.
We are fortunate to be able to take pleasure in so many things because of the coming of the web. We are able to shop, we could send e-mail, we could research more information - and a lot more. And the best things of all time to do though is being able to watch movies online.
