Paramount adds 500 films to YouTube rentals

Paramount adds 500 films to YouTube rentals | Stuff.co.nz: "The Paramount films will be available on YouTube Rentals and Google Play. Online movies and pay-per-view options have spurred heated competition between Google, Apple's iTunes store, Amazon.com and the subscription video service from Netflix. "Paramount Pictures is one of the biggest movies studios on the planet," said Malik Ducard, director of content partnerships at YouTube. "We're thrilled to bring nearly 500 of their films to movie fans in the US and Canada on YouTube and Google Play." The deal brings YouTube's collection to nearly 9000 titles. For most movies, renters have up to 30 days to begin watching a video but must complete the viewing within 24 hours after starting. Some Paramount films have already been added, while others will be made available in the next few months. Among the films are Martin Scorsese's Hugo, Michael Bay's Transformers and Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather trilogy. NBC Universal, Sony, Warner Bros, Disney and many independent studios have made deals to rent their latest releases through YouTube."
