Apple Movie Store Only Serving Disney Films?

Alex Romanelli, Variety writes "Variety has the scoop on Apple and Amazon's forthcoming movie download services. Apple's will launch with only Disney as a partner. Amazon will have most, and possibly all, of the major studios on board. The reason comes down to price, insiders said. Amazon.com will launch its movie download service later this week, numerous sources confirmed, while Apple will start selling films on Tuesday as part of iTunes."

  1. So, iTunes to carry Disney only by thewiz · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's a store of music
    A store of tunes
    It's a store of lyrics
    And a store of videos
    There's so much that we share
    On Peer-to-Peer, we swear
    It's a small store after all

    There is just one Apple
    And one golden iTunes
    And a smile means
    Profits for ev'ryone
    Though the Disney divides
    And their pockets are wide
    It's a small store after all

    It's a small store after all
    It's a small store after all
    It's a small store after all
    It's a small, small store

    If "disco" means "I learn" in Latin, does "discothèque" mean "I learn technology"?

      For those of us who are parents, the notion of downloading a Disney movie that you couldn't burn to disc is damn near worthless. Why do you think we have DVD players in our minivans?

    Or at least, this is increasingly the case and I'm not even talking about torrents.
