MyFlixer is a website on which fans of films and television programs watch and download streams, and also share the full link for free. But what looks to the casual observer like an attractive deal, its architects are fully conscious that what is being provided is essentially an item that is protected by copyright and which infringes on the rights of owners of said copyright in effect, piracy. Despite the fact that MyFlixer looks like real streaming platforms including Netflix, Hulu, or even Freevee, they are not allowed to show and share movies and episodes since they have no permissions for this.

The collection of movies and television shows provided on the website is preponderantly unauthorized or, in other words, the website is engaged in piracy and it is unlawful, in terms of copyrights. This leads users into legal consequences that go up to the extent of fines or criminal suits. Also, the use of MyFlixer makes the user a violator of the law, participating in the distribution of the unlawful content which significantly influences the motion picture industry.

Movies music among other quality products that the entertainment industry spends billons of dollars in creating is threatened by this evil known as piracy. Using the pirate website containing MyFlixer, the users are depriving the real owners and producers of their rights earning. This can lead into Dunbar’s Effect and in return cause poor quality and quantity of the developed content which in effect would not benefit the users themselves.

Also, MyFlixer, and other pirate websites contain numerous pop-ups, and links that included malware and viruses that are dangerous for a user’s device and data. They may also collect the users information and then sell it to other companies thus a breach on the users privacies will occur.

On the other hand, there are legal web sites which are authentic and through these web sites people can download or watch movies and serials. Huge amounts of money are invested for the acquisition, development, and sharing of contents; rights, artists, and producers receive their share of the revenues. These services also encompass factors such as recommending systems, youth streaming, and customer care services.

Thus, even if MyFlixer looks like the best site to watch and download free movies or TV shows, there are some legal issues we must discuss. Rather one should go for official streaming services that are legal, and give a quality and safe consumption experience. Just as I’ve said, piracy greatly affects the business of entertainment and as viewers/ consumers, we need to put our effort in doing what is right by supporting producers and creators.
