Youtube to Show Full Length Movies
Youtube recently entered an agreement with Sony Pictures and other Holywood Studios to show full length movies and tv shows in the world’s most popular video site.
This move reflects Google’s efforts to ramp up YouTube which they bought for $1.65 billion in 2006 to attract more advertising dollars.
YouTube also announced deals with 11 other partners including the Anime Network, Shout Factory, Telenext Media, Documentary Channel and First Look Studios, bolstering its licensed content offerings from dozens of movies and hundreds of TV episodes to 700 movies and thousands of TV episodes.

This is excellent news. For a long time I did Netflix but they never had the movies I wanted in stock toward the end. What a rip!

I just saw this for the first time a few weeks ago that youtube was showing full length movies and I was happily surprised.There were a handful that were actually well known and good and I can’t wait until the list grows.

I can’t believe it, that’s amazing! Did they mention anything about fees? Wonder if you can still embed these videos?
Also, hope they don’t continue to block content in the UK and elsewhere…we’ll have to wait and see I guess
