Clickstar Brings Movies Online Before DVD Release

Well this service better be Hack and Piracy proof, else Hollywood will not hand over one movie to them.

Even though Clickstar Inc. has Hollywood blood with actor Morgan Freeman as founder, this sounds like a tough thing to do.
ClickStar's strategy is to create an online service in which consumers can access, pay for and download first-run, pre-DVD-release films and artist-created entertainment channels in their homes.
Clickstar Inc. was announced by Freeman and Intel. Intel is supposed to provide the technology.
More details in the Clickstar press-release.

The trick will be to create a service that is easy to use and allows flexibility for the consumer, but still protected against piracy. Until then it is easier to rent DVDs online.
