The New York Times > Technology > Selling 'Nemo' Online, Trying to Repel Pirates

The New York Times > Technology > Selling 'Nemo' Online, Trying to Repel Pirates: "RealNetworks and the Starz Encore Group will introduce an online service today that will let high-speed Internet users download and watch many of the movies shown on the Starz cable channel. The move is another early attempt by Hollywood to build a business out of downloadable movies and head off the sort of piracy that has hurt the music industry.
The new service, called Starz Ticket on Real Movies, will cost $12.95 a month, and subscribers will be able to download and watch 100 or more movies each month, using Real's media player software."
