You get access to the online copy (subject to existing deals with media companies), for a limited period of time (IIRC it's 1 year). Then you have to pay again each year for continued access to the online copy. I don't remember if generic Linux distros were supported or not, but I don't think they were.
It's bad enough to pay through the nose for the video in the first place. It's worse to have the non-recurring expense of the physical media suddenly gain a per-disk recurring expense; like a maintenance agreement. It would be cheaper in the long run to just buy the children's movies again when they destroy the disk. Or just stream in from your media server. ;-Daniel Fussell /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
