Not illegal at all, that is how Netflix works. Many websites have streaming video, not illegal.

Yea those kind of sites are illegal because they don't have permission from the distributor to stream them to you. But there are sites that do have permission and completely legal but charge a price for it. Examples: Lovefilm, netflixs, sky, Empire.. There's loads

No illegality there. There are lot of sites but all sites are not good. I think http://www.netbaza.net is a good site where you can download and watch new and popular movies online. This site post high quality versions of each movie. Here you can watch movies and TV shows from many different countries and they allow you to download them straight from there site. Overall this is a pretty good place to catch up on the new movies.
