FYI Passing along, with permission, this information sent to me this week by the new company HitBliss.

See you there? I just came across your page here (http://libguides.asu.edu/content.php?pid=90855&sid=676587) which gives a nice list of places where students can find movies online. I also wanted to introduce you to HitBliss (http://www.hitbliss.com/), which could be a great addition to your list. HitBliss is a new start-up in the streaming movie & TV space which gives users legal access to stream thousands of movies and TV episodes without any monthly fees. How does it work? In a nutshell, you earn cash by engaging with videos/ads from major brands (e.g. Dr. Pepper, Aflac, Liberty Mutual, etc.). Once you build up your earned cash balance (literally takes only a few minutes) you can stream your favorite movies & TV shows while using your earned cash to pay for the content. Students love it because they don’t necessarily have to take money out of their pockets. And, the colleges/universities typically love it because the students aren’t putting themselves at risk by using torrent & pirate sites. I hope you’ll check us out and consider adding HitBliss to your list of legal sources to stream movies. Just so you know we’re legit, here’s some recent news coverage of HitBliss: http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/227070 http://allthingsd.com/20130402/trusty-viewers-get-free-video-with-ad-work/ http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/01/hitbliss-the-pandora-of-ads-will-pay-you-to-watch-commercials/ http://mashable.com/2013/03/01/hitbliss/ http://www.fastcompany.com/3006471/hitbliss-launches-hulu-competitor-turns-ads-currency
VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
