iTunes Rolls Out Films for Germany

Paramount, Warner Bros., MGM, Disney, Sony are among the studios now offering flicks on iTunes for Germany. Short and sweet:

Among the titles currently available to local users are ”The Dark Knight,”"Quantum of Solace,” ”Pineapple Express,” ”High School Musical 3: Senior Year,”"Eagle Eye” and local productions such as ”The Counterfeiters” and “Keinohrhasen” (Rabbit Without Ears).

Conspicuously missing from the iTunes store is product from Universal.

An Apple spokesman declined to comment on why [Universal] had not boarded the German platform.

Additional local players are expected to join iTunes but Apple also declined to comment on any negotiations with any potential new distribution partners.

Good to see that Apple has figured out some of the issues related to digital distribution overseas. Full story on Variety.
