Hollywood doesn't wish to upset Walmart if it sells its wares online because Walmart sells 40 % of all DVDs-Hollywood's biggest income source.

The rules are kind of annoying rules. One of them that you've to watch the movie in the computer you use for downloading which you may substitute that with other version that allow you to watch in other devices.

It seems that Hollywood and Walmart have business between each other , so DVD Hollywood products are afraid and care really much about the their relationship , and it's because Walmart trade and sells about 40% of the all the products that the Hollywood produce.

I'm one of the people who always download movies from the internet using programs i have bought , whenever the DVD comes into the markets , in this time the movie will be available. Whenever the movie have downloaded in many devices , so the speed of download can be faster which allow your device to be opened , so you can watch movies depending on other's machines .

Wall- Mart sells 40% of all DVDs-Hollywood's biggest revenue source.Wall-Mart is itself offering a hefty catalog of movies omline,and it still makes little sence to buy a movie on the internet,Wall-Mart rules are especially infuriating: you can watch a movie only on the computer you use to download it. For example,if you buy ny electric device sush as: Itune, or IPot that helps wal mart to have more custome to buy an electric device so they might be able to download more than one movie in that device instead of buying a one piece of movie through tha internet.Basically, i think that Wal-Mart is offering to sell teir products to the customer with cheap prices.Moreover, Wal-Mart and Hollywood maks a joint venture plus to their sharing in revenues. This my tought and opinion regarding Wal-Mart and Hollywood business.
