We are spending a lot on streaming services, and the prices are getting increased year by year. Moreover, you cannot watch all the movies and TV shows with a single streaming service. So it resulted in various online streaming sites that offer movies and TV shows for free. One such site is PrimeWire. Apart from streaming movies and series, PrimeWire also has a music streaming platform.

Is PrimeWire Legal?
PrimeWire is not a legal platform. However, it is relatively legal when compared to other sites. Streaming sites or services need to pay for copyright to the production company to get the license for the movies or TV shows they want to stream. But sites like PrimeWire don’t seem to bother to get the consent of the owner. This act is illegal and can be called out by law anytime, anywhere. The site also features various misleading ads and pop-ups to bring malware to your devices. So it isn’t entirely safe to use such sites for streaming.
Why Do You Need a VPN?
By using a VPN, you can avoid various legal complications. The VPN will encrypt your internet traffic, and your device will take the IP address of a VPN server. Thus making it hard to trace your location, and you will stay an anonymous person on the internet. So make sure to use a VPN to avoid being tracked. Likewise, you can also use an ad-blocker to block all the misleading ads and pop-ups on the site.
