BW: iTMS-Filmangebot im September

Bislang platzierten die Quellen der Business Week den anstehenden iTunes Movie Store eher in Richtung 2007, inzwischen habe die gut informierten Kreise allerdings ihre Meinung geändert (oder BW ihre Quellen) und bringen nun schon Mitte September als Starttermin des Filmangebots ins Spiel. Neue Filme sollen dann angeblich 15$, ältere jeweils 10$ kosten. «So far, Apple only has one studio signed on: Walt Disney, where Jobs is the largest shareholder following the entertainment giant's purchase of his Pixar Animation Studios. News Corp.'s Fox Entertainment Group may join in later, as might independent Lions Gate Entertainment, say Hollywood sources, but only if other studios come along, too. So far, other large studios have taken a pass, especially after Wal-Mart earlier this year threatened not to sell Disney's High School Musical for a time after Disney released it initially only on iTunes.»
