Amazon’s IMDb Now Showing Free Movies
By Behind The Scenes TV on Sep 17, 2008 in Internet TV
The Internet Movie Database, a subsidiary of Amazon.com, has begun showing more than 6,000 feature films and television shows on its site for free.
Col Needham, founder and managing director of IMDb.com, said in a statement that the move reflects IMDb’s mission to be the world’s most comprehensive source of movie, TV, and celebrity information, products, and services.
“We’re excited to offer our users a simple online experience to watch full-length movies and TV episodes for free,” he said. “Our goal is to show our users every movie and TV show on the Internet for free on IMDb.com.”
But the distance between the present and that goal represents a revenue opportunity for Amazon.
