Too bad no one cares....maybe a few people will rent this now with the "press" it's getting. Otherwise it would just collect dust. Can't see how this is "news"!!!

Baby steps, people. Anything that people in Hollywood do to encourage non standard business practices is a step in the right direction. Between this & the ideas that Morgan Freeman is is proposing, the wheels of progress may be slowly turning. Progress takes tine, and the underground has ALWAYS moved faster than the Money Machine. Besides, If Embedded Live is distributed this way, can blockbusters like Mr & Mrs Smith be far behind? :)

This is not groundbreaking. there are literally hundreds of dvd's that you can buy at some stores but not major ones which netflix later picks up.
You have been able to buy embedded live for some time, the disk has been avaialbe from tim robbins production company site ofr a while.
this is just a marketing gimmick

What are the ideas Morgan Freeman is proposing? Hmmm, Tim Robbins & Morgan Freeman. I just watched The Shawshank Redemtion yesterday. A DivX copy I made from the local library. Just time shifting. :-D So, Hollywood CAN make good movies (great movie in this case, just my opinion) in spite of itself.
