Download movies and music using Steam

Valve released Steam in around 2003 as the worlds first online service to purchase games online and download them, this way you never need a phyiscal copy of the game and it is still legitimate copy because until then all downloaded games were pirated games.

Today in 2010 Steam turned out to be a success, since it was released more and more developers released their games using Steam and I think that now with today's Steam big user base it should start being a competitor to Apple's Itunes by releasing movies and music as well.

Personally I don't like Apple Itunes, it is a big oversized application that when you install it you also get bloated software that you don't need, it's videos and music default are quicktime media format which is another software I hate.

Steam can be a good alternative to Apple bloated Itunes, it should start offering movies in high definition same as quality as Blu Ray for purchase.

I am guessing that Valve might already be in process of doing this very thing and it's difficulty could be the Hollywood studios that are worried about copy protection.

This. Of course, if they had deals for movies like $5 HD flicks that would stay like Steam games, I'd have a hard time saying no..Steam is what keeps me from pirating a lot.

Uhhh no what keeps you from pirating a lot is multiplayer and not having to deal with a work around. Video and sound kind of data you really don't have to worry about it.

So you're really going to tell me what keeps ME from pirating? Lol.

Pirating has work arounds? Lol. I didn't know moving a file to a folder was a work around. I didn't know every game had multiplayer and I played every game that had multiplayer.

Just leave it alone, you can't fix stupid.
 
I would like something like Steam that has movies and music. I think it could be a great success. But I agree pcslookout, they should stick with what they know and that's games.

Thank you for proving the other two nubnuts are the ones that are stupid.

I Googled "nubnuts" but I couldn't find a definition.
Have you been messing with the Google? (Since you work there and all...)
I suggest you not call other people "numbnuts", but if you do, at least get it right.

Thank you for taking the bait! You have just answered the one question I was wondering completely.
 
Here's one for you pcslookout - what is it called when one kid thinks they're hilarious but everyone else around them is rolling their eyes in irritation wishing they could forget that one kid even existed?
