it may be a 80 cents to stream n HD movie from a single location-but they are going to need some form of global internet caching to achieve speeds fast enough to stream it.

But the ability to purchase full movies for a discount price online should not have any restriction imo.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16898030 Wed, 13 Sep 2006 20:22:48 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16897549 anon : This is not meant to be an alternative to purchasing movies for ownership.

This would be a shot at the heart of services like Netflix or blockbuster and the transfer of physical media in and out of a residence for rental purposes.

You pay your fee, watch the movie X times during a set period of time (48 hours, whatever), then you delete the file when you're done watching it.

Buying a copy would be an entirely different set of variables.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16897549 Wed, 13 Sep 2006 19:02:38 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16897519 chemaupr : Zero DRM will not work either. But DRM with reasonable and generous use may work. I'm hoping for more services like Vongo, and Vongo to increase the quality of their downloads. I do not believe they have HD yet.

The other problem I see is that diff studios want to go diff ways... they sould just concentrate efforts in one or two tech and services.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16897519 Wed, 13 Sep 2006 18:55:19 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16897436 markopoleo : Who cares what it costs to stream a movie, the fact remains no online movie store currently can offer a product worth it to consumers.

The only way to do it is to offer a full movie in compressed AND full format for cheaper than you can buy it at a store to make it attractive to customers. No DRM, no restrictions. Simple as that!

Why has it not happened? bickering between movie companies and online companies. Heck even major movie studios that want to open there own stores can't do it right.

Is it any wondering why movie piracy is rampant? The pirates do a better job than companies in distributing movies and giving what people want. lol]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16897436 Wed, 13 Sep 2006 18:42:41 EDT
