YouTube users have even fewer reasons to leave home - from now on, the largest video hosting service allows you to watch many Hollywood movies for free, reports Ad Age.

Previously, there was no such function on YouTube, most of the famous films published there were soon removed by the administration of the resource for copyright infringement.

There are more than a hundred movies in the updated YouTube database.. Among the first to appear on the hosting of pictures - "Legally Blonde", "Rocky", "Terminator". The only negative - the videos are periodically interrupted by short advertising pauses..

Journalists say that free movies appeared on YouTube as early as October, however, users only paid attention to the new feature..

The idea of ??free screening of films on YouTube was announced by Google representatives in 2010. Soon the test version of the service became available to US citizens.
