The internet download/streaming industry
Posted: Tue Aug 15, 2006 9:05 pm
I'm pretty new to this aspect of the industry and have tried out 3 hopefully trustworthy providers over the past few days.
Private - for ?17.95 I can download most their movies to my PC permanently. But I have to go online & sign in with divx (free) if I want to watch one of them.
Orgazmik - for 7.99 Euros I can download a complete movie for 30 days which I can watch without restriction in windows media after I have entered a code provided by them.
StrictlyBroadband - for ?7.99 (concessions apply) I can watch streams of different scenes of one movie over 3 days.
None of them appear to offer the extras such as behind the scenes footage which I love to see. And not surprisingly there is little or no overlap between them.
I think Orgazmik clearly offers the best value with Private close behind as you can apparently put their product onto your own dvd disc. StrictlyBroadband seems to be lagging well behind. ?7.99 for a complete movie download for 3 days would be a major improvement but still uncompetitive with Orgazmik; but if people are happy to pay money for product not available elsewhere then good luck to StrictlyBroadband's business model!
