Here’s something cool. Two tech heavyweights have teamed up to create a pseudo-branded online video series.

DLNA, The Digital Living Network Alliance, is all about getting your content from where it’s stored to where you want to watch it. Now, they’ve teamed up with satellite, cable and telecommunications service providers on the Interoperability Guidelines to leverage DTCP-IP Protected Streaming to make service provider content more easily available for playback across digital televisions, Blu-ray disc players, game consoles and set-top boxes. It’s a really interesting announcement because so many content providers have been worried about piracy and loss of revenue from that and have held back content.

Amazon Prime has launched an addition and that means that, in the US, you can stream some 5,000 films and TV shows from their cloud thanks to their Amazon Cloud Player for just $79 a year.
