Walgreen sees movie-burning DVD kiosks at stores

Walgreen plans to put kiosks that can make DVDs of popular movies in drugstore photo departments next year, using a new system that would increase selection while avoiding piracy. Reuters reports.

"Recent change in copy-protection rules governing DVDs have freed Walgreen and other retailers to tap this new movie market by letting consumers burn digital copies onto blank discs at stores, industry watchers said.

Walgreen is working with Hollywood studios and consumers will be able to make DVDs in about 15 minutes."
