Building on a new business model

An effective Online Cineplex (VOD) system satisfies the needs of modern users who want to watch new Hollywood films, indies or golden oldies films on-line, legally and in the comfort of their own home. The new generation of video consumers want to be able to skip the experiences of driving to the closest Cinema or mall, disappointment from not finding a movie they like, standing in line and waiting – and only then being able to see the film they want. Standing in line is obsolete, and the future is already here!......

You and your company only need to decide to purchase and implement a tested, working online system and your future customers can watch your films in the comfort of their own home. Payment is also performed online – using any of a number of available payment solutions - mobile payment, credit/debit card, paypal and so on. All the content you provide is fully protected by the Microsoft Digital Rights Management (DRM) system.

This DRM system (WMDRM) is the de facto standard accepted by content rights owners in the USA and worldwide. This DRM system toolkit is provided by Microsoft Corporation and the WMDRM certificate ensures that your films are 100% protected and cannot be copied, recorded or illegally shared. Both the films owners and the operator of the Online Cineplex can relax and be assured that rented content is only viewable buy the consumer as long as his license is valid. The license can be freely configured, for example to specify not only a time, but also a play limit for the films. When the license expires, only a new payment will result in a new license for that content. Purchase/rental expiration and restrictions are configurable.

Allowed regions can be specified on a per movie basis.
