Android Scans DVD Bar Codes, Downloads Movies
cars writes "Remember how you can scan any bar code with an android phone and it will tell you where to find that product for cheaper? A new Android application called BarTor (formerly ScanTorrent) can scan any DVD bar code and then signals either uTorrent or Vuze on your PC to download the movie from BitTorrent. How long do you think this will last?" Other features include purchase opportunities on barcode lookup, Google base product lookup, and site-level filtering.
I assume there will be a cracked version out shortly.
For a moment, I thought that they were saying that Lt. Cmdr. Data was now using BitTorrent.

You can install apps that aren't blessed by the Hand of Steve. This app might not stay on the store, but it sure won't go away...now where is my Windows Mobile version?

If there is a market and people are willing (think iTunesVideo) then I'm sure it won't take long for the MPAA to start suing.
You know, in the old days we had to go to the theater (oops, sorry, that's theatre for our friends across the pond) and sit with 200 of our closest friends to watch a movie. And we liked it that way.
Damned kids and your fancy technogoogle phones.

The waiting.
Did I read this correctly? You are equating going to Starbucks as the same thing as watching a movie? Since we're on the subject of comparing totally different things, I fill up my car with gas about every two weeks for about $30 after about 5 hours worth of driving. At those rates, 2 hour movies ought to cost $12, and a 1.5 hour movie ought to cost $9. A flight from Seattle to New York (about 6 hours) ought to cost $35, but more if it's non-stop. Since all forms of entertainment are the same, a 3 minute song on iTunes should now cost $0.30. I like this new form of determining price; it makes everything so simple.
Also, I'm sure the MPAA and RIAA will be glad to know that everyone in Starbucks also complains about the price of movies and so pirates them all. This certainly gives them an easy place to go round up all the copyright infringers.
