Google Play Store adds 500 movies rentals from Paramount
Share:
For years content owners have viewed search engines with suspicion; sure, Google can lead you to a movie’s official site, but it can also be used to find services offering bootlegged copies. It’s perhaps this longstanding distrust that has made some content owners reticent to ink deals – almost a year after the launch of Google Music Beta they still haven’t been able to sign up all of the music labels in the U.S.
On the movie front Google just added another notch to its media belt – Paramount Studios has entered into an agreement to bring nearly 500 titles to the YouTube and Google Play movie rentals stores. That means you can now get Transformers and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off on your Android device or home computer. In the larger scheme of things, it might be a sign that Google is learning how to placate content owners, which should eventually lead to more media being available to everyone.

It would be a better idea to get the service rolled out in Europe where they can reach even more subscribers to rent movies and sell music through the PlayStore ;)

This speaks so well to Google's overall strategy. This revenue stream is as a sure thing as music players. Google has the resources and the tech to make this second nature for them, and quickly. Great draw for Android, even bigger win for all the other services Google is offering. What a great ecosystem they are building.
