Legal movie downloads in Germany

Not much detail but this is an interesting development in media distribution.

I assume that this will be the website.

Interesting that they are squaring up to offer an equivalent to buying a DVD rather than a rental service. I suppose they want to keep the age-old sales chain alive for just a few more months. Either that or they don't trust existing DRM technology.

think that this will put the rental dvd shops out of business . on another note has anyone else noticed the dvds gone down in price most dvds are now under 10 euro.

The link says they will be priced at about the same price as a DVD which seems daft to me, why not pass some of the savings onto the consumer. Also if the DRM is too restrictive (no DVD burning) it won't be worth downloading it.
