You can watch Cats: The Musical online on the Veoh website. The entire musical has been uploaded, but I would advise that it's against the law for people to distribute media content without permission.
Basically, watching films on these types of sites is piracy, and it's not a great thing to get involved with.
It's fair to say that a lot of people watch pirated films online these days, and let's face it, there are quite a few positives of doing so for the individual:
- It's free.
- You can find titles a lot easier, including foreign films.
- You can watch the film before it's released to DVD.
- You can watch whenever you want in your own home.
So yeah, it's easy to understand why people watch online copies of films, but there are also downsides to doing so:
- Legal repercussions. Yes, loads of people get away with it each day. But some don't. Could that someone be you?
- Quality. The video and audio quality of most pirated titles are not as good as the proper films. Who wants to watch a blurred film?
- Mislabelled files. Not every file is what it claims to be. Viruses and fake videos created to entice people to click on them are rife within the internet.
Ultimately, most of us have watched a pirated film at some point in time, and there are definitely loads of ways to do so. I think it's time we all stopped doing this, though, especially with great services like Netflix that are really cheap and offer loads of great stuff to watch legally.
Here's a pretty awesome video showing some of the pros and cons of piracy:
