Film Movies and Online video site YouTube

Online video site YouTube is in talks with several major movie studios about renting movies to users by streaming the movies over the Internet according to a report.

YouTube, which is owned by Internet search giant Google Inc., has held discussions with Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., Sony Pictures, a unit of Sony Corp., and Time Warner Inc.’s Warner Brothers about online movie rentals.

Its likely, the movies would be available for rental for a fee in a system similar to Web rental programs from Apple Inc.’s  iTunes, Netflix  and Amazon.com  with newer movies. YouTube would likely charge a similar fee around $3.99 a rental.
