I don't know what a paysite is, is it illegal?

Someone i'm getting Blu-Ray movies and tv shows from said he/she gets it through paysites, is what they are doing illegal? Yes i searched what a paysite is, all i got was it's relation to pornography and not movies/tv shows.

Yeah but why would you do that when there's much easier free ways of watching that sort of thing?

But it's like a whole branding thing, and it probably contains better, unique content :colone: I dunno look it up, once I STUMBLED (YES STUMBLED) upon this website that popped up and it showed a movie, where this black guy was chained up or I think the women were chained up can't exactly remember and apparently they were gonna y'know....:colondollar: yh :tongue:

The reason why I said BLACK specifically is because the title was something along the lines of "1 black dude and 12 white chicks" :redface: Weird :s-smilie:

Excuse me while I spend the next 5 hours working out how that's even logistically workable.

Sorry I totally butchered that, I found the movie for you, it's called "12 inches a slave" not 12 white chicks black dude, but if you google it and see the cover of it you'll see what I meant :tongue:

A pay site would be any where you pay money.
It may be one off purchases, but really its subscription based i.e per month or per week for you to get access to content. You may be able to download or stream whatever content you get access to.
