Rentals in i-Tunes

Apple is in the news again. And I am not talking about breaking the $200 per share price point. ( Congratulation Jobs) but the new deal with News Corp’s 20th Century Fox will start allowing rentals of movies from movies. I really like this move because who wants to own all the movies from you watch. I am one of those who like to rent more then own, because if I own I will only watch the movie once and it will be years before I will watch it again. So I great for those who are i-tunes stuck and i-pod owners now you will not feel guilty deleting movies from you i-pod when it gets full. My guess is Disney will so follow in the i-rental-movie-business. Click here to read more

Apple was not the only one out there making deals today Warner Music Group have agreed to let Amazon sell music on their online store with out digital rights management software. So this expands Amazon’s MP3 library to 2.9 million songs. At the price of 89 cents or 99 cents. Click here to read more

It seems like everyone is moving towards a DRM free world and this is a good thing. i-tunes have something to worry about now.
