Russian Site ZML.com Offering $2.99 Movie Downloads

London - Taking a page out of the playbook of the budget song download site AllofMP3.com, a Russian website called ZML.com has begun offering unprotected downloads of Hollywood movies for about $2.99 each, The Register reported. The site offers about 1,500 titles, such as "Spider-Man 3" and "300," with prices ranging from $1.99 for an iPod-compatible version, to $4.99 for DVD-quality files.

The company claims to be operating legally because it is paying license fees to the Russian Organization for Multimedia and Digital Systems (ROMS) — a similar tack taken by the now defunct AllofMP3.com.

AllofMP3 was shut down in July, just before a meeting between President Bush and Russian president Vladimir Putin, following intense pressure from the U.S. government and copyright interests.

The U.S. Trade Representative said sites like AllofMP3 were hampering Russia's accession to the World Trade Organization.

AllofMP3.com's founders are now facing both criminal and civil charges in Russia.

ZML.com does not accept payments directly from Visa or Mastercard, requiring users to first create and add funds to a separate account, The Register reports.

  • Remember for all sites that sells anything you need to chek ssl because it costs about 40 bucks and fraud sites won’t spend that money on a cheap trick site for gaining free money! Check feedback of the site and SSL always!

  • He money of $39.90 was debited to my read-through tab the same time with the intention of I proverb it would be .99 cents pro a lone time download. So zml does take money lacking creating a separate tab. They sort out aid mastercard.They used mine and I aspire a refund.I canceled a membership with the intention of I did not know I was signing up pro.

  • Thanks for sharing this website, But I think this movie site zml is bann no a days. So, i have explored some other sites

  • Hello. Help me!! What is this site – zml2.com ? ZML.com mirror?

  • You can read a full review of ZML at http://www.cheapfilms.net/2009/06/zml-review.html

    The site also lists more sites like it offering cheap movie downloads.

  • ZML is a rip off, they are not upfront about costs, lots of the downloads are actually pirated straight out of movie theaters. All ways to contact them usually end in “error” They “membership” is charged out under a different name each month, so looking at bank receipts they all look different, and generally the charges differ also. I too signed up for what I thought was a one day trial, and then discovered two months later I was billed for a full “membership” each month even though I had been inactive since I discovered the first day what they offered. I tried to contact them, but to no avail.
    Buyer Beware

  • It is a shame this site was shut down a few days ago. It was a great resource to download new releases when they were still in the cinema and not on DVD.

  • The Russian/Cyprus based website:
    http://in2video.net
    also operates as ZML.com currently, and has operated as other site names in the past, with varied offers reported as fraudulent on the web in search results.
    The $1.00 offer of 10 movie legal downloads for a trial is switched on the initial billing, and the true charges against your credit_debit card are $39.50. Other amounts are reported by other complainants.
    Mine was $39.50 lost forever.
    The downloads occur, but are not viewable, even with good ‘codecs’. Legality is doubtful, based upon others reports over several years of switched names and sites. Many reports of no refunds, no service for bad downloads, and no truthful dealings upon complaint.
    My 1st email received from in2video.net(ZML.com) reads,
    “Ticket Details
    ===================
    Ticket ID: NWA-607264
    Department: General
    Priority: Low
    Status: Closed”

    This false claim by ZML.com, aka, in2video.net, from above,
    “Hello,
    You signed up for a monthly recurring membership, that’s why you were billed.
    Best Regards,
    IN2Video.NET Customer Support”
    ……….
    “Ripoff Report” has many complaints against the various named Russian crime group known as in2video.net, aka, ZML.com
    ‘WayBack’ online search reveals a trail of ZML.com leads to in2video.net, who also respond to current complaints with the sarcastic ‘bait and switch’ enrollment form letter response. No service. No refunds. No working movies. They even asked if they could charge an additional $39.50 for more monthly ‘services’, in the refusal to refund.

    ZML.com,aka,in2video.net fraud offer $1.00 trial result $39.50 with no refund,no service. Many complaints. Russian/Cyprus organized crime group. Some sources list Florida, U.S., servers for ZML.

    Stranger still is the ‘poll’ question which in2video.net has placed upon the archived ‘WayBack’ web pages from 2004 to 2006, asking if each reader would like kill all the people on Earth. That was a spine tingling discovery upon following the fraud practices of ZML.com in 2009.
    sincerely,

  • The money of $39.90 was debited to my checking account the same day that I saw it would be .99 cents for a one day download.
    So zml does take money without creating a separate account.
    They do use mastercard.They used mine and I want a refund.I canceled a membership that I did not know I was signing up for.

  • There is so many websites those make customer fools, so we also need to take strict action against those sites.
