I really wanna see it... I like their approach to film distribution:

"Basically it’s an experiment to see what will happen,” Woodrow said, “Rather than using Sundance as a market and being part of that old dream, we just make it available immediately in as many ways as we can.” - http://www.indiewire.com/article/eugene_hernandez_new_year_new_model/

And only $4 to watch it online? I think I can swing that. Best of luck to them.]]>Jan 21st 2010 5:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/Thanks - I live in France, it's not easy to keep track of all american flicks.
I'll watch it soon - looks great !]]>Jan 21st 2010 6:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/Jan 21st 2010 4:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/Jan 21st 2010 4:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/Jan 21st 2010 4:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/
I believe the root of the problem are the copyrights involved. One copyright in one country wouldn't work in another country. Thus, it would have to be licensed to be permitted to do so and extra fees. There could be also limitations and restrictions on where it could be aired. It really does suck though If I wanted to watch something from Japan or Europe and they're blocking content because I'm not from that country, it's really unfair to me.

It's why I believe copyright laws are rather ridiculous just as much as DRM. Everything is separate, unfair and unequal, and in the end it's the consumer that pays-- whether it be extra fees or not having to experience the movie or music or what not. I'm already getting blocked watching Japanese anime officially uploaded on Youtube by Funimation in Japan because I'm not from that country.

It would be great that someday we get a chance to see everything, listen to everything without restrictions and without consequences, and without roadblocks. And, that day will probably never ever come, and probably never in my lifetime.

Wouldn't it be nice-- a world without borders?]]>Jan 21st 2010 5:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/
you see that will be the happy ending, for now I'll be happy enough if they distrubute everywhere even with delay... for example, Avatar has to arrive 1 month later to Ireland, fine, let me wait a month, but then let me watch it on Netflix or buy in in iTunes!

They can manage a worldwide market of DVD and TV stream, why not web stream? and digital downloads?]]>Jan 21st 2010 5:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/Jan 21st 2010 6:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/
I'm not say that "it's easy" of course is not 'cause who own the rights of the movies/videos does not work in that direction.

If in Portugal you have a physical video renting, why not give the license to iTunes for that? To me doesn't sound so complicated!]]>Jan 21st 2010 6:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/
Not that I'm interested myself.

pretty sure it's an alpaca... like a llama, but it's not!]]>Jan 21st 2010 8:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/
"like a llama, but it's not!"

it snot instead of it spit?]]>Jan 21st 2010 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/
i think an alpaca is a wool bearing llama.

but i cant help but feel this discussion is somewhat detracting to the general jist of the article.]]>Jan 21st 2010 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/Jan 21st 2010 6:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/Jan 21st 2010 7:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/youtube-introduces-movie-rental-streams-only-independent-titles/
Then Netflix would be messy.

Netflix is doing things pretty well.

Expecially when you can rent from Redbox for 99¢.
