Sonic and Widevine to Deliver Movies via USB Flash Drives

Just a day after seeing the news from Disney about selling movies on MicroSD, we get this announcement. I’m still trying to figure out why these guys are so overthinking it. I would prefer they spend their efforts on making Digital Distribution copies easier on DVD’s…seems like the easier solution for everyone, doesn’t it?

Digital Media Zone

Once you connect online with the drive on your PC, you’ll also be able to move the content to your “CinemaNow Digital Locker” enabling you to watch it on other ecosystem devices to include networked Blu-ray players and HDTVs. You don’t actually have to upload the content though. Once it’s in your digital locker, you’ll be able to play the content back on up to four other devices with each one receiving a stream that has been tuned to be compatible with that device. The CinemaNow ecosystem includes PCs, connected TVs, set top DVRs, Blu-ray Disc and mobile media players from Archos, Dell, HP, LG, Microsoft, Nintendo, Pioneer, Samsung and TiVo.
