Amazon Fixes Movie Site Glitch
(InvesTrend Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
September 30, 2008 (FinancialWire) -- Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) (Current
Market Cap: US$26.98 Bil.) fixed a glitch in its video streaming site
by adopting Adobe s (NASDAQ: ADBE) encyrption service.
Last week, Amazon said it fixed a temporary problem that allowed people
to record and copy from the online retailer's Video on Demand service
without paying. Adobe, whose software is used by Amazon to distribute
movies and TV shows over the Internet, said Amazon decided to encrypt
all of its video after streaming both encrypted and unencrypted
versions of content to users.
The encrypted video can be seen by about 86% of Internet-connect PCs,
while nearly all can view the unencrypted version.
Amazon was enrolled in Investrend Research affiliate ValuEngine's
professional analyst program. Complete information is available at the
company's InvestorPower(tm) page, which is accessible from
