Yes, but all the lines in that robot.txt file point to text-only versions of other pages, presumably so the same content doesn't get indexed twice.

Download And Burn Movies Available Soon 97

Posted by Zonk on Sunday March 04, 2007 @07:15AM from the oh-css-is-there-nothing-you-can't-do dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to an article from PC World, a source close to the CSS Managed Recording forum said that technology which allows movies to be downloaded and burned to blank DVDs, using the same content-protection system as commercial discs, received official approval on Thursday. 'The technology will require discs that are slightly different from the conventional DVD-Rs found in shops today. The burned discs will be compatible with the vast majority of consumer DVD players ... Despite Thursday's approval, services that allow consumers to legally download and burn movies in their own homes are unlikely to appear quickly. The DVD CCA said it will be initially restricted to professional uses. These might include kiosks in retail stores where consumers can purchase and burn discs in a controlled environment.'"

I bought an iPod for my cousin a few weeks ago. The "EasyPay" line was so long that I was able to just walk right up to the counter at the back of the store and get one there. I asked the guy behind the counter if I could get a white 2 GB iPod nano. He got one from the shelf, and I gave him my credit card, I signed the receipt, end of transaction. No pestering for addresses, e-mails, phone numbers, zip codes, anything. Not even an attempt to sign up for AppleCare.
