FailTube (Not Really, Movie Industry Fail)
Is YouTube the biggest failure in media delivery history?
How many people use YouTube daily? It’s on iPhones, iPads, Androids, Xboxs, PS3s, Rokus, and whatever the hell else.
Why have they never made a major push for a rental service for movies like Xbox has with the Zune Marketplace or even iTunes? The YouTube app for 360 is better looking the then the damn website.
Everyone knows and uses YouTube. Why not rent movies from YouTube?
They do Rent movies! It’s in Beta and US ONLY. http://www.youtube.com/t/youtube_rentals
Sadly I don’t see a huge adoption rate by the industry for it. The reason being is that they downright hate Youtube and the way it currently operates. If Youtube prescreened all of it’s content before it as uploaded I bet all of the different Movie Studios would be on board. There has been way too many DCMA Take Down notices gone bad and lawsuits that haven’t gone in their favor to run to them with open arms.
