One thing that has never been understood ... WHO sponsors MovielandTV and/or CinemaBox? NO COMMERCIALS or ADS ... NO SUBSCRIPTION FEES ... whoever it is ain't hauling heavy cash to the bank ... What is the motive for providing a great selection of films?

Good movies for free most likely means they are pirated and the developer is not paying the rights holders.

I disagree. There are many other free channels that play copyright protected movies and public domain for free viewing for years, and they're not disappearing from Roku device. Movieland channel will return just like Cinema Box. Let's face it, Movieland and Cinema Box channels are proving to be a favorite of a lot of Roku customers.

They are popular because Americans will do anything for "Free", even if it mean RIPPING OFF other people.

So how were they making money to support the channel? I would think there was cloud or server fees. Odd.

I haven't seen a more plausible answer to your question than Andy's. Even the way you asked the question makes it seem to me that you were already leaning the same way.

Nope, not leaning any particular way.
