Abstract
Movies are distributed to customer households in a secure format on digital media such as optical disks for playback via proprietary set-top boxes. The movie disks preferably have a storage capacity enabling each disk to hold multiple movies, for example, ten, twenty, fifty or even one hundred or more movies. The movie disks are provided to customers at low cost or even no cost, and customers pay a viewing fee only when they choose to view a particular movie. A movie club model permits customers to obtain a disk each month with new release movies, and the option to order classic/older movie disks with compilations of related movies, for example, disks with twenty World War II movies or fifteen Julia Roberts movies.
