Intel and Morgan Freeman teaming up on online movie download service
Intel and, uh, Morgan Freeman (yes, that Morgan Freeman) are teaming up on a new online movie download service called ClickStar that will almost certainly offer downloads of movies starring people other than Morgan Freeman. At least that's what we're guessing, they're actually little cagey about what exactly they have cooking. They did admit in their announcement yesterday that they have yet to sign up a single major movie studio for the service
(talks with the studios are "ongoing"), a competely minor detail which might make it a tad difficult for them to achieve their goal of distributing" premium movies to consumers over the Internet before the films become available on DVD." Of course, it wasn't all hazy promises yesterday: Morgan Freeman did throw down against the darknet, promising Hollywood that ClickStar would absolutely, definitely "get ahead of this piracy thing."
