IP Democracy: Netflix Readies Launch of Online Movie Downloads

The rumors have swirled in the blogosphere for weeks that Netflix is gearing up to launch a online movie download venture and according to a San Jose Mercury News piece penned by Dawn C. Chmielewski, the rumors are true.

Netflix is purportedly getting ready to launch the online rental service, which will work in conjunction with a Netflix-provided set-top box. Netflix execs say the service is simply a trial balloon, but it should look like other online movie web ventures such as Movielink or CinemaNow. (Tip of the hat to PVRBlog on this one).
