Hollywood-to-home, via the internet

CINEMA-LOVERS are to benefit from a decision by five major Hollywood studios to launch a service that will allow movie fans to legally download films over the internet.

The new service, Movielink, is being set up to stop piracy of major Hollywood films. It signals a major push to sell Hollywood films on the net.

The studios include Warner Brothers, Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
