Studios steering clear of iTunes Store for now

Adaptation was a good film indeed.

So maybe Apple could start by selling small, independent movies and then little by little, movbe into Wal-Mart territory.

Funny how Wal-Mart hates getting their toes stepped on, but they have no problem throwing the small, independent businessman out of business.

wrong itunes icon...

I'm not one who is interested in owning my own dvd copy of a movie, can't see the point given that there are very, very few movies I'd ever watch more than once, but give me full dvd quality picture and audio as a download rental along the lines of Netflix and I am so in.

No surprise here. The movie studios are following the RIAA's feeble footsteps to control the distribution channel. Given their own devices, the RIAA and Hollywood would still be distributing their product on lacquered disks and celluloid film.

This bums me out really. I -really- want the opportunity to rent movies online, and especially iTunes, since I know it would work. It would save me the time it takes to go to the video store every time I want to see a movie, and I would most likely rent much more movies as well, even if the prices are equal to those at the store.

When it comes to buying movies however, I don't see me spending the extra cash to -own- a movie I don't get a hard copy. It's just not the same, and I think the lot of movie-buyers feel the same way, so I can't really see what they are so worried about.

unbelievably stupid, its a blind threat, if walmart cut its orderd, people would buy the dvd elsewhere (better still online) DUH

It's funny: as soon as I read the post I thought "He shouldn't have bothered mentioning a movie because people are just going to bitch about how they don't like it instead of making relevant commments."

And then I read the first comment. Classic. The internet never fails to dissappoint.

is this why battlestar season 3 still isn't in ITS!!!!!!!

Ok, you've got me there, I only lost 4.5 years.
