Wal-Mart joins the movie download business
Wal-Mart's leap into the online download market means that most people who download movies (legally) now have a choice beyond iTunes. But is a choice like Wal-Mart the one that consumers will want? Or flock to? Remember that Wal-Mart is pretty fierce about its audience and so-called "decency" in its chosen media, so the likelihood that you will be able to get, say, Tarantino films on Wal-Mart's site is pretty slim...
