Short Zenith and CC if they go forward with this. Most people who watch videos don't have computers. Of those who do, I don't think a lot of them are going to want to do a transaction on line to get to watch a divx for the third time. I agree with you, Peter, that most people watch movies once, so who wants to pay for two viewings? Also, I don't think it's that much of a hassle for folks to drop of their video or dvd at the shop where they rented it. Most folks pass the place on the way home from work and probably want to pick up a box of them Milk Duds anyway.

Divx is too complicated, too expensive, too much of a contributor to garbage dumps and too much of a monkey-wrench for the digital industry. Short 'em.
