'Harry Potter' Offered (Legitimately) on the Net

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the step-in-the-right-direction dept.

Skyshadow writes "Warner Brothers is distributing several movies, including Harry Potter and Mars Attacks via the internet. The price is the same as I pay for Pay-Per-View from my satellite provider ($3.99 for a 24 license), and the movies are in the area of 700 megs. I'm sure that movies on demand will eventually take off as a legitimate and feasible distribution method, but given that a vast majority of US households are without broadband, is this an idea before its time?"

    Given that they are not copy protecting Harry Potter, this seems to make sense. Better to make a little money selling it.

    Point... Set... and Match!

    Saddam was screwed the minute he smiled after 9/11. It almost seems that Bush has a hit list, for all those that smiled, you are next on the list.

    Afgahanstan, the PLO guy, and Saddam... And to this, I think it is a little like a school boy bully, but then again, he's the President, and it is his job to protect his citizens.
