ClickStar is being formed by Intel and actor Morgan Freeman:
SUN VALLEY, Idaho – Actor Morgan Freeman and chipmaking giant Intel Corp. are teaming up on a new venture to distribute premium movies to consumers over the Internet before the films become available on DVD.
...Intel is investing an unspecified amount of money in the new venture. Called ClickStar Inc., it was formed by Revelations Entertainment, a company Freeman created in 1996 with producer Lori McCreary.
...”We’re going to bypass what the music industry had to come up with, and that’s to get ahead of the whole piracy thing,” Freeman told reporters at Sun Valley after making his presentation, which was closed to the press
As noted, the plan is for the movies to be released by ClickStar, before they’re even available on DVD. I wonder if their copy protection will permit us to burn them to a DVD and watch them on a TV that’s not networked to our computers?
