Cory Doctorow has an excellent critique of the a user agreement for Amazon’s new downloadable video service Unbox. It is too bad this service is so poor. I was actually considering trying it out. I poked around with it the 1st day it was released and became frustrated by the fact that my purchased videos would not play on my portable player (an iPod) nor could I watch the videos on my TV without getting a TV card and hooking my PC up to my TV! Generally I have had positive experiences with Amazon but this service is one that I will never be using. The really sad part in all of this is that Amazon would probably love to provide me with a better service but the content providers will to allow it. Oh well.
