Download-to-own Films Coming Soon

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the no-reason-to-leave-the-house dept.

riflemann writes "CNN is reporting that Universal Pictures will soon launch a service whereby films can be downloaded legally to own, i.e. non time-limited digital downloads. Currently most legally downloaded movies are time limited. Buyers will also receive a DVD version in the post. Is the movie industry finally listening? And how will they define 'own?'"

    Hey, guess what? They produced the movie, they are licencing it on their terms. If you are unhappy with their terms, don't spend your money with them.
