Nice pick up fonzie Dream Catcher and DB Thank you everyone for the Np$ It will go to a charity ribbon as I would like to make sure that in this case that an idea helps many in more than one way helping fellow domainers with an idea and their generosity helps in another way.
RW interesting point I think the focus will be on minutes because that will be the blocks of time. There are sites that let you aloow to download per month but don't call it that THere might be A VOD for $12.99 for 30 Days then the authorization just fades DIVX uses this I know But again those are just considered a rental they don't use the Pay per month type Moniker. SO I am not saying it not worth it I just think that the Most famous and popular Pay per View and now Pay per Minute will be the most commonly used.
THe thing I think is cool here is everyone got a chance to get in for a reg fee and right now if you want to develop in the adult arena you can be up with a full CO branded site and making money and the future of digital downloads and mobile downloads may very well lie with PAY PER MINUTE
And payperminute is also a good domain for mobile phone minutes or cellular minutes so you can offer phone plans as an anciliary revenue stream

HotMovies.com Now Offers 40,000 Movies!
Wednesday May 17, 11:09 am ET
PHILADELPHIA, May 17 /PRNewswire/ -- The Internet's fastest growing Pay- Per-Minute web site, HotMovies.com, announced a new milestone today when its online library of adult movies surpassed 40,000 titles. Unlike other Pay-Per- Minute sites that count a movie more than once if it is available in different formats, the HotMovies.com library now offers more than 40,000 unique titles from over 1,200 studios, including thousands found exclusively on HotMovies.com.

James Seibert, National's Director of Business Development, says it is easy to understand why HotMovies.com continues to expand its online library. "With our no commitment, no membership billing model, we've already established HotMovies.com as one of the most convenient and innovative adult sites on the Internet," says Seibert. "Our goal has always been to offer our visitors the largest possible selection of quality adult films."
HotMovies.com adds 50 to 100 new titles every day with new titles going live every hour. The rapid growth of the HotMovies.com movie library is due, in part, to the continuing effort of its parent company, National A-1 Internet, to attract and sign new studios. Since the beginning of April 2006, movies from more than three-dozen new studios have been added to HotMovies.com for streaming and download.
"These studios believe in the Pay-Per-Minute billing model," Seibert says. "They realize that most people do not want to watch an entire DVD but prefer to watch a little of this and a little of that which really means that they go directly to the parts of the movies that interests them. Even better, our customers can watch exactly what they want for only $0.10 a minute."For more information, visit

K2 Network Commercializes Global MU Online with Cutting Edge Hybrid Pricing Model
IRVINE, Calif. 5/25/2006 10:48 PM GMT (TransWorldNews) Global MU Online -- the home to more than 3 million registered users -- is the first highly successful subscription model MMORPG to be converted to the cutting edge hybrid K2 Network Free2Play(TM) and Pay2Play(TM) pricing model. K2 Network has added an impressive array of features with the commercialization of Global MU Online.
Under the Free2Play model pioneered by K2 Network, players can download and play full versions of the title completely free. Users also have the option to access enhanced game play including extensive in-game events, new items and unlimited customer support on the Pay2Play model.
"K2 Network's slogan is 'Gamers First.' We are committed to moving the industry away from the idea that gamers should be forced to buy games at retail and then be shackled to monthly subscriptions," said Bob Drobish, Director of Operations, K2 Network. "Our Free2Play and Pay2Play model is the fair solution. Gamers should only pay when they are receiving a high level of quality and enjoyment."
The Pay2Play community supports K2 Network's development of an improved game experience including things like new features and in-game events.
With the commercialization several new event maps have been added. Blood Castle features an array of divine weapons and the introduction of Archangel as well as new monsters. The Devil's Square map pits 10 players against a wave of incoming monsters. Those that survive are rewarded with an experience bonus and the prestige of mastering the map.
Later this summer K2 Network plans to introduce Castle Siege and Cry Wolf; which include new maps, a fortress, castle invasions, new combatant mounts, new monsters, new skills, new items to equip and the addition of the Lord's Mix.
Castle Siege is one of the most anticipated additions. This large-scale battle event puts up to 1,600 users on four teams to battle for the Lord's Castle. The victorious alliance gains possession of the castle, allowing them to tax the community, and use of the Lord's Mix, a device that allows them to create new items.
Originally developed by Webzen (NASDAQ:WZEN), Global MU Online is available for download now at
www.globalmuonline.com. Pay2Play users can choose from two purchase plans:
Pay per minute with rates starting at $7 for 30 hours or pay per month with rates starting at $12.
