Well we now can get downloadable movies from Wal-Mart and iTunes, and now from… the public library!?!
Yes folks, there’s a new company who, for a fee, allows you to have on demand content available from your public library.
From Slashdot:
The service is just beginning, so selection is pretty mediocre, but the sponsors, Recorded Books and PermissionTV, make some big promises. If your library ponies up the dough for the top service, you will be able to download movies on the same day as their dvd release. All you need is a library card.
One early adopter, the Half Hollow Hills Community Library, has a site already in beta. You can find it at http://mldv.permissiontv.com/channels/halfhollow_ny/.” You can get to it from their blog.

The Kansas Audio books, music, and more program is planning on adding videos to their collection later in the spring. Not that this is stellar news, but I couldn’t let that cute kitty steal all the comment thunder.
