If they require p2p to get the movies they are not legitimate p2p apps connect to p2p networks. In order for it to be a legitimate place to download movies they would have to have a data base with all the movies on it, IE their own network and you could then rent but not DL and burn. I looked at the sight that you mentioned and it is a scam site.The first part of their terms and legal information are below they sold you free software so you could download copyrighted material.
