I went to the New York Public Library website to check on the status of some books and dvds I had put on hold and on the front page was a message that you can now download movies and other selected programming for free!
"Introducing MyLibraryDV-a unique video-on-demand service created by Recorded Books and your library. You can download from a collection of over 1,000 movies, TV series and lifestyle programs 24/7 anywhere you have a broadband Internet connection. And best of all the videos are always available-there are never any holds on what you want to see!"
There is a twenty page pdf listing what is available so far. I'm sure this will be expanded over time. Though it appears that Sony Entertainment is probably the primary contributor/collaborator with MyLibrary, given that one of the subcategories for films is "Sony Pictures Entertainment." I know that they have a huge film library, given that they have seemed to inhale three-quarters of the previously existing film studios and their film libraries in the last couple of years.
To access MyLibrary you have to download their software and it takes up 1GB. You also have to have a valid NYPL card. Better make sure you paid all of those fines. I'm game to try it.
Here's the link:
