WARNER Bros. has become the latest studio to offer some of its films for download over the Internet.

　　The studio will offer some of its biggest recent titles, including Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, as well as older titles such as Mars Attacks, over CinemaNow, a video-on-demand service that offers films for viewing on computers.

　　The current arrangement with Warner Bros. will run until the end of the year and may be extended.

　　Films such as Harry Potter can be downloaded for a fee of US$3.99 for 24-hour viewing. Older films from the Warner Bros. home video library can be downloaded for US$2.99 for the same period.

　　The studio said a key factor in allowing people to download digital copies of its films was CinemaNow’s anti-piracy technology, supplied by Microsoft Corp. (SD-Agencies)
