well since i'm in the US i'll give this a shot and report back the details you want beaver.

hmm...seems kind of weird. you get your choise of RealMedia or WindowsMedia. apparently a 1 day viewing time. and you have to install a bunch of software.
seems a bit much to me, but i'll see if the movies are copy protected somehow.

**like 20 minutes later**

well, i can't even get the fucking software to fully install (probly my XP setup wtih so many services disabled), so i wont' bother trying any longer. the WMV files are protected by DRM, which the last i checked hadn't been cracked yet. not really worth all this hassle if you ask me.

shit aye, or you could spend 5 minutes installing file sharing prog and just download it for free - i know as a customer what i would be wanting!
with digitial rights mamagment what a pain in the arse!

so it's rely not worth it in the end...

They're just trying to trick people into installing DRM and all kind of spyware! It's a scam IMO!

Like PB said, just download off P2P
