I'm not sure about America but here in Canada you have to actually go to a movie theater to watch a theater movie legally. However when I went to PAX I stayed in a hotel. In that hotel their was a digital distribution system connected to the TV. It was a theater service and for 14$ I could watch Get Him to the Greek , Machette and Iron Man 2 as well as several other theater movies.

This got me wondering, why not offer such a service to the general public. I mean once the movie is availible illegally online why not provide a legal source as well. I know if a service came around allowing me to watch theater movies for 14.99$ in the comfort of my own home I would jump at the opertunity.

So I was thinking why aren't theater movies availible for screening online or through a cable provider? I mean I have friends who pirate every movie they see, but some also pay for movies that have already come out via Shaw on demand or some program like that.

A few weeks after the films released in theater's once the films already all over the internet, why not sell the film screenings to home theaters? I bet that it would increase sales of movies come launch as well with all the more people having watched.

So why do hotels get a movie service and not the average every day consumer?

It's called Frostwire.....I can pretty much see any movie for free.  Of course it's illegal but only pussies obey the law.  Oh, from what I heard on CNN last week, there IS going to be a service like the one you want.  It's supposed to cost $30 per movie but since it cost me $50 to take my kid and a friend to see Alpha and Omega in 3D (we ate popcorn, too), I'd probably jump on that option.
