I Want TinkerBell and KungFu Panda and Wall-E and...


If your kids are anything like mine, they are constantly asking to see a variety of new movies that are released on DVD. After a while, increasing that DVD library can put a strain on the budget. Thank goodness for OnDemand and DVR because they have saved us a pretty penny, but sometimes the movies are so good that we wish we had a copy. Well, I stumbled upon a site that seems to have answered my prayers.

The name of the website is ZML, and the site is a movie library with thousands of movies available for instant download in a large variety of supported formats, including DVD, DivX, iPod, and PDA. The downloads are compatible with Windows and Mac, and you can burn the downloads to DVD without a limit on the number of times you can download or burn a copy. The best part is that all movies are between $1.99 and $4.99.

Now, I know that everyone's first question is..."Is this legal?" Well, yes. The site is located in Russia, so Russian law applies. The cost for music and movie downloads in Russia is significantly less than it is here, so that accounts for the drastic price difference. According to legal analysis of these sites, it seems that there are not any legal implications to downloading, although some have voiced moral issue. I'll let you decide. I will be enjoying the sweet silence that comes from children that are being entertained by their new favorite movie download...enjoy!
