What are the chances of a legal western based AllOfMp3.com? A music download service that sells non-DRM, 192K VBR Mp3s at a price that seriously undercuts iTMS?]]>Sep 24th 2006 3:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/23/wal-mart-is-isnt-threatening-studios-over-itunes-movie-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/23/wal-mart-is-isnt-threatening-studios-over-itunes-movie-store/
The chances are 1.0. It's called emusic.com and I'm a very happy customer. The selection has really annoying gaps because they can't get the majors on board (no DRM), but I suspect that'll change as their popularity increases.]]>Sep 24th 2006 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/23/wal-mart-is-isnt-threatening-studios-over-itunes-movie-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/23/wal-mart-is-isnt-threatening-studios-over-itunes-movie-store/Sep 24th 2006 4:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/23/wal-mart-is-isnt-threatening-studios-over-itunes-movie-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/23/wal-mart-is-isnt-threatening-studios-over-itunes-movie-store/Sep 24th 2006 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/23/wal-mart-is-isnt-threatening-studios-over-itunes-movie-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/23/wal-mart-is-isnt-threatening-studios-over-itunes-movie-store/Sep 24th 2006 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/23/wal-mart-is-isnt-threatening-studios-over-itunes-movie-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/23/wal-mart-is-isnt-threatening-studios-over-itunes-movie-store/Sep 24th 2006 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/23/wal-mart-is-isnt-threatening-studios-over-itunes-movie-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/23/wal-mart-is-isnt-threatening-studios-over-itunes-movie-store/Sep 24th 2006 7:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/23/wal-mart-is-isnt-threatening-studios-over-itunes-movie-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/23/wal-mart-is-isnt-threatening-studios-over-itunes-movie-store/

And Walmart denying this?

On the other hand, it warms my heart to see the three organizations I hate the most fighting like this.

So few movies are worth watching more than once so I'll keep using my Blockbuster Online service.]]>Sep 24th 2006 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/23/wal-mart-is-isnt-threatening-studios-over-itunes-movie-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/23/wal-mart-is-isnt-threatening-studios-over-itunes-movie-store/
But that's not at all the way it works. Wal-Mart has the foot traffic. A ton of the DVD purchases are by people who came to Wal-Mart, either to buy DVDs or to buy something else, but the main point was they came to W-M to shop.

There are a lot of things Wal-Mart can do to hurt a movie if it wants to single it out. The most blatant is that they don't stock it (they'll buy some, just not enough, so no one can call foul). Maybe some people will actuall shop somewhere else, but most will just pick another DVD and buy that instead. With new releases, people will go somewhere else if they do't find it, but for older movies, they usually won't. They're more interesting in finding something to watch tonight than they are in finding something specific to watch.

Their threats are very potent, and very real.]]>Sep 24th 2006 11:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/23/wal-mart-is-isnt-threatening-studios-over-itunes-movie-store/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/23/wal-mart-is-isnt-threatening-studios-over-itunes-movie-store/not peple
