Every Movie Ever Made On The 'Net?
17 March 2009 2:35 AM, PDT The founder of the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) website has envisaged a time when all of the 1.3 million titles indexed on the site -- movies and TV shows -- can be streamed to its users with the click of a mouse. As reported by CNET News, Col Needham <http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1000000/> , in a speech delivered to the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, TX, acknowledged that the task will be formidable (and in some instances impossible, since prints of some of the films listed on the website no longer exist). Developing a relationship with rights owners also could prove to be challenging, he said, but it has already begun, with IMDb currently providing access to 14,000 TV episodes and about 2,000 movies, as well as 120,000 videos including trailers, interviews and featurettes.
