Disney sells 125,000 movies on iTunes
Walt Disney President and CEO Robert Iger reported Tuesday that his company has sold 125,000 digital movies since they debuted on the iTunes Store last week, already generating $1 million in revenue.
Competing services from Amazon and others fail to offer the simplicity of the iTunes experience, and Apple continues to grab massive market share in digital media distribution.
Its still a shame that all these services suffer from highly restrictive DRM; If you buy a movie from iTunes you cannot burn it to DVD to watch on your TV, for example. the problem for savvy consumers is there are too many non-savvy consumers happy to cough up the dollars for this restricted content.
Considering that Movies are up to US$15, I’d personally rather go buy the DVD, which I can rip onto my computer if I wish.
