There are some copyrighted films available on iTunes. OK, so unless you’re Russian you are unlikely to have ever heard of them, but that isn’t the point. It shows there are ways and means around Apple’s tough approvals process.

Illegal iTunes Movie Apps

According to BBC News, many old Soviet-era Russian films are available to download and watch via Apple’s iTunes App Store. The only problem is that the original filmmakers and copyright owners haven’t given permission for the films to be distributed in this way, and aren’t seeing any money from them.

The affected titles include Gentlemen of Fortune, Assa, The Diamond Arm, Kin-dza-dza, and Cheburashka. All of which are considered favorites amongst Russians who lived through the Soviet era.

The copyright owners of the titles are film studio Mosfilm and the Joint State Film Collection. Neither of which is involved in the smartphone apps. Apple is investigating.

Netflix has seen incredible growth in its business over the past couple of years as it evolves from a DVD-by-mail company to one specializing in streaming. Could Amazon be looking to grab a bite of this increasingly-profitable cherry?

Amazon Prime Unlimited Streaming

According to Engadget, Amazon prime customers now have access to free, unlimited streaming video. Around 5,000 movies and TV shows are listed as being available to subscribers, with the only caveat being they’re only available to watch in 480p SD rather than HD.

Amazon Prime costs $79 per year and currently gives customers entitlement to free 2-day shipping on all products. The adding of an unlimited video streaming service to that would be a huge bonus for existing subscribers and possibly enough of an enticement for others to follow. After all, Netflix’ basic streaming service costs $95.88 per year.

A day in the life of one person is intriguing, but what about life, as it exists all around us, in a day? That’s surely even more intriguing, and it’s something which the YouTube movie, Life In A Day, explores in an evocative documentary.

YouTube Movie

The power of online video, especially YouTube with its amazing amount of content which is being added to all the time, is immense but somewhat underutilized at this point in time.

Video outlets on the Web, along with social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, are now beginning to be used for political change, as can be seen in Tunisia and Egypt right now, but what about social change?

Online video can certainly offer an insight into other cultures and the lives of other people in countries most of us will never visit. And that is what documentary film Life In A Day, otherwise known as the YouTube movie, aims to show.
