Internet Movies Before DVD

Posted by samzenpus on from the watch-it-now dept.

alfrin writes "Actor Morgan Freeman and Intel are starting a company that will sell movies over the Internet before they are released to DVD. "We're going to bypass what the music industry had to come up with, and that's to get ahead of the whole piracy thing," Freeman told reporters at Sun Valley after making his presentation, which was closed to the press. Wouldn't this just make it easier to pirate movies?"

    You would have to be humor impaired to laugh at anything in Bruce Almighty besides the finger growing trick.

    What the heck does he know? Seriously.

    Just because he was in "The Matrix" with Tom Cruise, now he thinks he knows about the Internet and stuff?

    It's simple-- someone is threatening your rights, you exercise those rights as much as possible.
    In this case, it's the US Gov't and various corporations threatening our right to share information.
