iTunes Movie Purchases and Rentals Go to UK and Canada

Apple's finally taken their movies to the UK and Canada, giving them 700 and 1200 films respectively to buy or rent.

Both countries have the standard 30 days to start watching a rental, and 48 hours after you've started to finish it.

Rumor Battered: Hollywood Poo-Poos on Apple's Movie Rental Plan

The briefly ballyhooed iTunes movie rental store did sound a bit too good to be true. While multiple sources confirm Apple's feeler, the flipside is that the movie studios aren't exactly smitten, according to Reuters. $2.99 for 30 days? Preposterous, sneers Hollywood. Easy portability to your iPod or iPhone? Poppycock. More »
