The service will be priced and positioned to make it competitive with pirated DVDs and compatible with China’s fast-developing broadband Internet service. Movies will be available for DRM-protected rental- only at 1 yuan-5 yuan ($0.75) each or at 5 yuan for a monthly payment for all movies and TV series voole.com boasts. At present, about 2,000 movies and 10,000 episodes of TV series are available on the website.
