[...] Guba previously made the news for offering video downloads at a much lower price than competitors, creating a product that hunts copyrighted video online and landing some of the first online distribution deals with major movie studios. [...]

[...] DRM still limits the number of devices and copies, the content still plays on a Windows Media Player on a 640 * 480 screen, so the overall offering has not changed save the price. But more titles continue to come online and MCInerney indicated it will reach 1,000 within 3 months, so at least there’s a broader selection than when first previewed here. [...]

[...] ThinkSecret reports that the announcement will cover deals with Walt Disney, Universal Studios, Paramount Pictures, and Warner Bros. Warner Brothers already offers limited downloads for rental and purchase through a company called Guba, in a partnership we covered here last month. Warner, Twentieth Century Fox and Paramount also have deals for P2P rental distribution with Wurld Media. [...]

[...] Online video site Guba is clearly in the good graces of Hollywood these days. Fresh on the heels of last week’s deal with Warner, Guba announced a second internet film distribution deal with Sony this evening. Favorites like Spider Man 2 headline the content. In the short-term the experience will mirror the Warner deal, so many of the limitations/issues raised by TechCrunch readers after the last post remain. Still, the deal is good for Guba - any distinction is a plus in the crowded online video space. [...]

[...] オンラインビデオサイトGubaは最近明らかにハリウッドの受けが良いようだ。先週のWarnerとの提携の記憶も新しいうちにGubaは今夕（米国時間7/10)、第２のインターネット映画配信の契約をSonyと結んだ。スパイダーマン２（Spider Man 2）のような人気作品がコンテンツのリストを飾っている。短期的に見るとWarnerとの提携を鏡に映したようにほとんど同一であり、前の記事のアップ以来TechCrunchの読者によって多数指摘された限界や問題点はそのまま残っている。それでもこの契約はGubaにとって価値がある。競争の激しいビデオの世界ではどんなフィーチャーでもプラスだ。 [...]

[...] 名作テレビ番組と古い映画 (長年にわたるゴールデンアワー以外の時間帯の埋め草番組の典型) もWEBに居所を見出した。最近のGubaとWarnerのような提携はレトロ番組を活性化させる動きといえる。現在AOLIn2TVでこのジャンルをリードしている。”Batman”の漫画から”Eight Is Enough” [８人の子供がいる家庭を扱ったホームコメディー]まで42本の “クラシック”番組を放映している。番組は比較的低画質のストリーム配信ないし高画質版（Hi-Q）によるフルスクリーン表示で見ることができる。古い番組の一部には照明が悪くてHi-Qが必要なものがある。私は”Spencer For Hire”[R.ParkerのスペンサーシリーズのTV化]のあるエピソードをストリーム版で見たが、夜の場面では主役のスペンサーと敵役の区別がつかなかった。.

[...] Classic television programming and old movies (which have been non-primetime TV fodder for years) have also found a home on the web. Recent deals, like Guba’s with Warner, will give added life to the retro movement. Today, AOL leads the pack with In2TV. You can watch 42 “classic” programs from Batman cartoons to Eight Is Enough (it was enough then). Programs can be either streamed in relatively low quality or you can have content pushed to you in a higher resolution format (Hi-Q), which allows a full screen view. With some of the older shows’ bad lighting, the Hi-Q format is necessary. I watched an episode of “Spencer For Hire” through the regular stream and couldn’t tell Spencer from the bad guys when night fell. [...]

[...] PeerImpact, a service of New York based Wurld Media, announced today that it has signed deals with three major TV and movie studios to offer episodes of popular television programs for download through its peer-to-peer client. The company is adding titles from Twentieth Century Fox and Warner Bros. libraries to its offerings that already included shows from NBC Universal. The company highlighted The Loop, Firefly, The Dukes Of Hazzard and Babylon Five as shows that will be available. Warner Bros. made a deal earlier this week as well with Guba to provide video on demand. [...]

Thu, 29 Jun 2006 00:52:12 +0000

[...] Warner Brothers has done a deal with on-line video site Guba to provide downloadable movies for a fee. The latest titles come in at a pricey $19 for a download to own option and rentals are $1.79-$2.99 for a 24 hour rental. I think it’s great that a major movie house is getting on board the digital distribution train but there are a few problems with the Guba/Warner offering. The price, especially the $19 download to own, is too expensive. I also don’t like a 2 hour time limit to watch a movie. They should give you a week to view it. Another big problem is that the service only works on a Windows PC using Windows Media Player. Well I use a Mac day to day, so you just lost me as a customer. That’s stupid. When iTunes gets around to selling movies it will be cross platform. The unfortunate thing about all this is the movie companies who control the content. You could have the best service in the world but if the content providers won’t give you content, you’re sunk. That’s too bad because the movie guys have not shown that they know what they are doing in this regard. [...]

Wow. What a changed what happened to the really cool porn newsgroup browsing site?

Is Guba still the same company or did the domain get sold?

It’s like another MySpace-like site reincarnation.

We will add other DRM support as soon as it becomes available and approved by major premium content providers. [source] [...]
