WhereToWatch.com – New Search Tool Locates Films and Shows on Legal Sites
Posted by Print

We’ve written extensively on the destructive nature of illegal online piracy, as well as various market and legal avenues to combat it.

In positive news this week, the Motion Picture Association of America launched WhereToWatch.com, a one-stop-shop for consumers to locate legal sites for their favorite films and television shows.  Visitors to the site can (1) search for films and shows on digital downloading and streaming sites, as well as at stores and kiosks;  (2) quickly and easily find theater times and locations for new movies;  (3) watch trailers and access original behind-the-scenes content;  and (4) create settings to receive alerts when movies and shows they want become available from various providers.

Studies show that almost 95% of popular films and shows are already legally available for viewing, via over 100 legal online services across the U.S. Accordingly, there’s simply no need or excuse for anyone to steal the films or TV shows they enjoy on illegal sites, when legal alternatives are now so readily available.

In that vein, WhereToWatch.com offers a welcome innovation.
