I think hollywood finally figured out that people don't want to pay dvd pricing for a movie they download, especially when the quality of the download is horrible.

Or if the movie is bad too

Who wants to pay DVD price when you have to download it and it still blows.

Downloading movies to DVD

One company is doing this right: EZTakes (www.eztakes.com). They make it easy for you to download movies to DVDs that will play in almost any DVD player. It's all legal and it works.

Downloads of movies won't work

until we get fat pipes.

That's why you use p2p

most all consumer pipes allow ten tines the DL as UL.

p2p (that's bit-torrent) allows a hundred to up to your download so one hundred customers, starting at the same time could each get it faster with the initial giver only needing to put out ten to twenty copies instead of the one hundred now.

plus, those who stay connected can continue to upload to new customers on that otherwise unused bandwidth.

the same number of bits get sent but bit-torrent spreads the traffic like ripples on a pond instead of the shotgun approach of the standard model
