Recently, who presented a copy of the Special Edition DVD "Family Guy: Blue Harvest" (have an almost shot-by shot-purchased, a parody of the first "Star Wars" movie) may have noticed, they got something special: a digital copy. The digital copy of a person of the DVD can be seen on an iPod with video or iPhone (TM).
"Family Guy presents: Blue Harvest" was the first DVD with a digital copy to come, but an agreement between Twentieth Century Fox and Apple promises to deliver more DVDsdigital copy in the coming year. Announced in January, said the two companies, it is useful to the users the opportunity to buy movies on their portable media devices have to.
"One of the get the most requested features DVD buyers have asked us for the possibility of the movies they bought in the iTunes library," said Jim Gianopulos, chairman and chief executive officer of Fox Filmed Entertainment. "We are thrilled to offer such an incredibly simple way for our customersto buy more from their DVD, and we look forward to releasing many more DVDs this year with iTunes Digital Copy ".
Included with DVDs like "Blue Harvest" are two panes. While a slice of the film takes on a DVD player, the other contains the digital copy disc. A person appears to the digital copy in a computer that takes place a unique serial number (printed on a DVD) and the movie is automatically copied to the person in iTunes Library. The user then has theAbility to observe the film on an iPod or iPhone without having to pay for them once again to the iTunes Store.
Of course, a person must have an iTunes account before they can get their digital copy of the film. And allows a user to only copy a movie to an iTunes account. If a person tries to copy the movie to another account, iTunes will say the code was already used and to deny the request.
But let DVD buyers have a free hand onhow they choose to play a movie sure seems like a step in the right direction observed. Regular DVDs are protected so that users no copies or rip them onto the computer (at least) is not legal. This controversy has arisen in recent years (like it) with music, because people believe if they were to buy a movie, they will be able to do what they want to see - whether it is on an iPod or copies for friends.
Of course, the business also has its advantages for Appleand Fox. For Apple, it brings the people to iTunes, and encouraged them to watch movies on your computer, portable media players and mobile phones - which will inspire them to connect to the iTunes Store to buy back more movies. For Fox, there are people another reason to buy DVDs or Blu-ray discs because they are always a bit more at no additional cost.
And it seems as if other movie studios Fox run will follow. Announced in early March, they Lionsgate also inked a deal with Apple for the equipmentDVDs with digital copy for iTunes. The first film will debut with Lionsgate digital copy of Sylvester Stallone's "Rambo, the" out 27th May comes. Lionsgate is the company behind the recent movies like "3:10 to Yuma," the dud "Good Luck Chuck" and classic films like "Reservoir Dogs".
