You'll Soon Be Googling for Movies
Google on Friday confirmed reports that it will soon launch its Google Video Store, which will not only sell downloads of CBS programs and NBA games as previously reported, but will also permit independent filmmakers to upload their movies and sell them online at a price they can set. Google will received 30 percent of the revenue generated by such sales. In unveiling the Google Video Store at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Friday, Google co-founder Larry Page said, "From the largest studio to smaller independents, content producers are in charge."
