Dell offers up Qflix drives to burn CinemaNow movies to DVD

Posted by Peter on September 16, 2008

In case you are one of the six people who wants to burn downloaded content from CinemaNow to DVD, DELL has a drive for you.

This is a perfect example of how NOT to do electronic distribution.  They have created a system that requires special hardware and is even more restrictive than current DVDs.

Content creators should be able to protect their work and be properly compensated for their efforts, but if you make a system that is more restrictive, more expensive and less convenient, people are never going to use it.
