Amazon Movie Download Screenshots Available
Thanks to an inside scoop from a former Amazon employee, hackingnetflix.com was able to direct us towards some early screenshots from the movie downloading service soon to be available from Amazon.
From the looks of these screenshots (available here), it appears that Amazon will be offering TV downloads for around 2 dollars and movies for as low as 10. The site looks close to done, and only time will tell how successful the movie downloading model will become. The key, of course, is for major players like Amazon to get involved. A report from videobusiness.com suggests that the slower growth of the downloading model is ultimately rooted in problems with securing the rights to music in older films, as many major movie studios are already on board. In older contractual agreements, these movie studios only own the rights to the image content, but not the music, of the films.
