YouTube, the net’s home to homebrew videos, is looking to go pro with new, widely sought-after major studio films, according to The Wall Street Journal. Unlike all of the rest of the content on YouTube, most of these videos will cost money, said the Journal, and will only be available to rent. Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., Sony Corp., and Warner Bros. are each in talks with YouTube to offer premium movie rentals on a time-limited, streaming basis, according to the article, with the details of each arrangement varying slightly.
