We all know Apple will be announcing the iTunes Movie Store on September 12th. Here’s the list of movies which will be available (or will be within a few weeks of launch) for $9.99-$14.99. It is expected they will follow a similar FairPlay model as the iTunes songs, so hopefully we can move the film to 5 other computers and an iPod. Burning to DVD is not expected to be allowed. Most major and indie studios have signed up, except Sony - so that means no Spiderman or James Bond films.
Walt Disney: James and the Giant Peach, Pocahontas, The Lion King, Aladdin, Chicken Little, Herbie: Fully Loaded, Sky High, Ice Princess, National Treasure, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
