  • N Nish Nishant

    http://www.movie88.com/ [snip] A Taiwanese Web site is offering hundreds of videos on demand for just $1 each, trumping Hollywood's plans to deliver similar services and raising the specter of a new round of international copyright battles. Despite claims that their Movie88 site is following all local copyright laws, the owners of this new venture are drawing scrutiny from a skeptical Hollywood. Meanwhile, Web surfers drawn by free or cut-rate movies are flocking to the site, overloading servers and clogging data pipes. Like Napster before it, the site is more than just an everyday pirate Web site: It's a commercial video-on-demand service that's comprehensive and easy to use. And it works. With the studios' film services still in development, that's a dangerous combination of features. [/snip] Nish was here, now Nish has gone; He left his soul, to turn you on; Those who knew Nish, knew him well; Those who didn't, can go to hell.

      Beyond the obvious legalities, why would anybody want to watch a movie on their computer. Movies are made for watching on a big screen with the full cinema sound experience. Michael :-)

I don't class those as movies, I'm talking about the big movies that work best on a cinema screen - Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, American Beauty etc. Nish [BusterBoy] wrote: p.s.

All human's are different when it comes to sexual stimulation - some people get turned on by watching two people kissing, others like to see the graphic detail. (Did I mention that I study Psychology) Michael :-)

                      Gee, dunno, wonder why Blockbuster is even bothering to stay open then. PS: freebie rental 2:1 here. You're welcome.
