As You Know, Morpheus Is A Website That Allows You To Download Music For Free W/o Use Of A Credit Card. My Question Is Are There Any Websites That Allow You To Download Movies For Free W/o Use Of A Credit Card?

Morpheus is a website that offers pirated material. I don't know what movies you are looking for, but if they are current theater releases, then what you are talking about is pirated material that would be illegal to download.

Amazon.com has a new service called UnBox which is movie downloads you can purchase. Other than credit cards, Amazon also accepts Amazon.com gift certificates, payment directly from your bank account, and checks, money orders, or cashier's checks denominated in U.S. dollars and drawn on a U.S. bank.

You can find some free classic movies at this address: http://emol.org/movies/

If you are looking for current movies for free, you will not find them legally.

I didn't say that downloaded was illegal I said that downloading copyrighted material was illegal. Haven't you read the newspapers? Haven't you read about the RIAA suing people who offered copyrighted songs for downloading?

If material is under copyright protection (and almost all films are) then they can only be viewed with permission of the coipyright holder. You get that permission by buying a movie theatre ticket or buying/renting a DVD. Buying a theatre ticket entitles you to one viewing in the theatre. Renting a DVD entitles you to view the movie as many times as you can during the rental period. Buying a DVD entitles you to view the movie whenever you want. It even entitles you to make a copy for personal use ONLY! But it does not entitle anyone to make copies and sell or give them away.

Therefore, if you download such copies, you are breaking the law and downloading pirated material.

The reasons websites that allow downloading such material exist is because they have legitimate uses as well. However most of them exist primarily to distribute pirated material.
