Re: Bell movie store coming.
This site has been up for a few months now, even before they started throttling the wholesalers. I guess they are finally starting the marketing push on it.

what people download is NONE of yours or anyones business, Be it porn, cartoon shows or MP3's. Bell is not a content police (but they are being one).
Also, this in turn now shows us more. I'll let you guess what it is. |

| I honestly can't see this site being very successful when they're charging just as much (or more) to download the videos than you would pay to rent or buy them in a retail video store. For example, Bell is selling Beowulf for $19.99 and you have to download it and burn it to a DVD and the download counts against your bandwidth usage, while Future Shop is selling the HD version of the same movie for $14.99. |

dunno there

Hmmm i don't know about the burning to dvd part you mentioned.
Per their web page:
Videos can be played on a PC/Laptop, on the TV via a compatible DMA (Digital Media Adapter), or through a direct connection from your PC to a TV.
Don't think you can burn these DRM infected movies to dvd and play them anywhere you want to like a store bought dvd.

either you buy some MS-DRM infected player for about 200$, stream from PC-TV, or watch it on your PC.
also "THESE VIDEOS WILL NOT PLAY ON MOST PORTABLE VIDEO PLAYERS"
seems like pure crap to me. |
