RSSDisney to Offer Films on CinemaNow
By Nate Mook | Published May 31, 2006, 12:01 PM
The Walt Disney Co. on Wednesday announced a non-exclusive agreement with online movie service CinemaNow to offer the studio's films for download. Beginning June 6, Disney will provide both new and catalog movies through the service at a cost of $20 per new title and $10 for some older ones.
CinemaNow movies -- in Windows Media Video format -- can be transferred to up to three devices, including portable players, but they cannot be burned to DVD. Disney's announcement follows a handful of deals from April in which movie studios signed on to CinemaNow and its rival Movielink. Apple is also reportedly looking into offering feature film downloads via iTunes.

|Am I the only one that thinks these are ridiculously priced?
$20 for a downloadable movie when the DVD costs at least $3 or $4 cheaper? It just doesn't make sense to me.

|I was thinking the same thing. Well, I guess it has to go into all the packaging required to offer virual content. You know, jpg, gif, html. It's not like everyone could share a single copy of those yah know.

|rofl... long live the analogue loophole.
I've seen Ice Age 2 on DVD just after it's been released at the cinemas. Apparently, somebody video recorded the movie screen with near lossless quality. Illegal, yes... but quite clever.
