ORIGINAL ANSWER: Megavideo is letting internet users watch fimls which were in the cinema and other films which are stil in the cinema. Apart from any other kind of videos. Megavideo can't host this videos since it's illegal recording films which are been played in the cinema and it's of course illegal hosting them in the internet. SO Megavideo takes profit of this situation.

However, I will still watch films there XD

The above two answers are not helpful. Megavideo relies solely on uploadable content which if you looked hard enough can be found for free somewhere on the internet and which may or may not be legal content. Megavideo itself is a legit site simply because it operates from a country where piracy laws do not exist - such as the Netherlands. Dowloading a movie or music file is the same as downloading from Limewire or pirate bay only megavideo stops your movie after 72 minutes and then offers uninterrupted viewing for a price. So megavideo is a legal site and depending on what you download and the copyright laws of the country you live in you may be doing something illegal.
