It is far to easy to download films nowadays. Why rent when the ability to get them for free exists?

It is possible to get any file/song/movie/program from a whole host of file sharing sites. The most common one is bittorrent. However, there is a high risk of downloading virus infected files. Most of which are released by companies that object to bittorrent/file sharing sites.
One of the easier program's I have used for file sharing is limewire. Although winmx is easier but you have to pay for that service now. Winmx decided to charge people to make sharing films and songs legal.

Personally, I use LOVEFiLM : a postal service that lets you have three DVDs out at any one time for a fixed monthly fee.
Trouble with all these free sharing sites is you start thinking where are the film companies going to make their money, with cinema attendances falling - the answer I fear is that they won't and we'll see a lot go to the wall and get less variety as a result.

Heh, let's see. When I left, there was a video store above the post office, one opposite the Boots chemist and one opposite the post office. I think I had a card to the one above the post office, which was a converted office with about four rooms off a corridor and the walls were lined with VHS.
