Here's something to keep an eye on.

Although it is apparently not related to the music download site that was
the bane of the music industry's existence, a new site is promising cheap
downloads of movies.

Called ZML, the new site offers about 1,500 different titles for download
that are free of any digital rights management restrictions. Among the
titles available include recent hits 300 and Transformers, as well as
classics Apocalypse Now and Aliens.

Each movie is available for download starting at a cost of $1.99, and are
encoded in the DivX/Xvid codec according to the site's help files. Those
wanting higher quality for larger screens would also have the option of a
$2.99 and $4.99 version of the title.

Like AllofMP3, ZML claims it is following the policies of the Russian
Organization for Multimedia and Digital Systems (ROMS).

Why keep an eye out? Well, they're operating in the same playground
that the RBN has historically operated in:
